Mercer Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Just kidding, surgery was smooth . BTW Does anyone fuck with Legos? Was a huge fan as a kid. Bored earlier and thought it would be cool to build a millennium falcon, checked the price and was like WTF? $800.00 Really? If you spend $800 on a box of legos for your kid you're crazy. Made me think back to the giant bag of random lego pieces I had as a kid. Probably 20 pounds of legos, probably cost less than $200 total. Either that or my Dad was way cooler, and more ballin for back then than I thought he was. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercer Posted December 28, 2018 Author Share Posted December 28, 2018 So this just happened in Astoria, blackout then the entire sky lit up for a few minutes. Everyone went out on the street thinking the Aliens finally landed. Video was stolen: Explosion_at_night-tgei9qtehx621 (1).mp4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fist 666 Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 That falcon probably weighs what your entire childhood collection of lego did, adjust for inflation and star wars hype and it's about the same price as back in the day, maybe cheaper. But that is definitely not a kid's build. I am a pretty serious lego nerd, I have yet to decide if I want to attach images of that facet of my life to this screen name. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Man Banned Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Nerdy as it sounds it could be interesting too. Think I posted some interesting Lego statues I saw in Pies a long time ago. Point is, not sure if you're serious or joking but could be cool depending. Until then....... 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercer Posted December 28, 2018 Author Share Posted December 28, 2018 I'm totally serious, love legos but haven't been buying them for anyone but little kids over the years. Actually wanted the Falcon before looking, then I learned I'd have to drop nearly a G on it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lord_casek Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Build the Bugatti for half the price https://www.amazon.com/LEGO-Technic-Building-Engineering-Collectible/dp/B07C8L9CRJ/ref=pd_lpo_vtph_21_bs_t_1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=68FSKBB8HPA1MSA0GFS1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fist 666 Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 That bugatti is rad, a guy in my lego club (lug, lego user group--official lego sanctioned clubs for afols [adult fans of lego]) brought one to our last meeting. A really cool build. If that previous paragraph didn't clarify how serious I am, I've got four lego conventions I'm attending/displaying at this year. Which makes image search and real name attachment an issue for me. First one is a few weeks in Birmingham, if any of you are around come hang out, it'll be silly. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercer Posted December 28, 2018 Author Share Posted December 28, 2018 This thread made me realize my dad was ballin for back then and spoiled the shit out of me. He had a man cave with several assembled LEGO sets displayed. Specifically remembered an X wing fighter suspended by what looked like fishing line from the ceiling. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fist 666 Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 That ship-in-a-bottle set came from the lego ideas series: user created, submitted, voted on, and then lego produces the set officially. They have put out some great builds that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fist 666 Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 Update: I'll start a Lego thread at the Birmingham convention, pics of my builds will be interspersed and i won't tell y'all which are mine. I'm really excited for these lego movie 2 sets. The addition of pink to the classic space line will result in a cock-n-ball shaped space ship, wherein the pink minifigs all are bearded. Bears in space. Gonna be fun. Yes homo? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercer Posted December 30, 2018 Author Share Posted December 30, 2018 For some reason I keep checking out that Millenium Falcon to see if it has gone on sale yet. That's telling me the way things weigh on my impulse purchase scale, I might be adding to that new lego thread myself. The price is starting to make more sense sense. This how to pick up image from the manual shows just how massive this set it is. 75k + pieces, a lot of them custom 1 of's made just for that set. They've even got both crew sets with two Han solos, the young version from the original's with a matching Chewbacca, Princes Leia, and C3PO; and the older Han Solo with Ren, Fin, and BB8. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schnitzel Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 been reading up on lego lately as my son starts to reach the age where he might use it properly. Question how do you guys pronounce it? Leg -o? Leego? Laygo? Blamtallica? pretty sure everybody in Australia calls it leg-o except in SouthAustralia where I've moved to where they pronounce it Laygo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fist 666 Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Leggo my eggo. Also, the plural is lego not legos, just for the record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
