Lego the building blocks of life :D

[Christian-Samurai]

Well ok since we are to spread the the love a little more eveny in our posts so as to not make them so long I though we could post kind words about Legos in here, who here has not heard of or even played with legos before?? did you know they have a program that they can load an image in of an object and it can tell them how many legos , colors and sizes it will need to build a lego version of it? Isnt that unreal? :thumbup:

[blessed]

hey dude are u for real :nerd:

[Christian-Samurai]

Yes they do have that program and its really cool they even made a life size racing car and tons of other things, you can look it up i am sure you will find all kinds of cool things that have been with those little wonders. :peep:

[collegegirl]

What is the site? That is totally cool. I will have to utilize it sometime.

[Babyruth]

That is so cool! I love Legos. I never had any because my mom and dad told me I was a girl and didn't need them, so I stole my brother's and played with them. It would be so cool to work for the company and put the sets together to make sure they work properly.

[Christian-Samurai]

Yeah thats what I though, I love legos also I even have 2 of the lego movies :D the are neat to watch I havent seen the 3rd one yet

[collegegirl]

WE would get the lego magazine and they would have all of these cool things that ppl made with legos, and a comic style story with some jungle guy, Johnny Cash I think it is. Way cool. :thumbup:

[Christian-Samurai]

Well all I know is that the movies are really neat and I need the 3rd one, and I like some of the new sets they have out now have thought about getting some

[Babyruth]

My brother gets the Lego magazine still. It's not as cool as it used to be because they have all those weird Star Wars legos and other odd legos. I wish they had the cool adventure ones still.

[Christian-Samurai]

YEah i remember all those, I was always liking the technic ones they were always cool with all you could make and control

[collegegirl]

I have heard of some way out stuff that people have made. I love legos.

[Christian-Samurai]

You should see some of the photos on the web, man amazing little blocks my brother took them all when he moved out so i have none :(

[collegegirl]

We have some big ones that you can borrow. THey are like the small ones, only about 50 times bigger. LOL

[Christian-Samurai]

cool maybe I can build my own castle out of them if they are big enough and you have enough blocks :D

[collegegirl]

Sure you could build a castle, but if you make it big, it is going to be only about a layer high. If you make it bigger, there might be only enough room for your feet. LOL :D

[Christian-Samurai]

lol bummer :D maybe you can make yourself a new resturant building like you wanted, out of them?? just buy a few more and call it the lego cafe :D

[collegegirl]

I like it, I really do. Here, sell the idea to Legos. :D

[Christian-Samurai]

LOL Not me its all for you so you can get your Food Business going :D

[collegegirl]

LOL thankyou, but I don't want to have a restaraunt. I have seen what restaraunt life is like, and you cannot raise a family and a restaraunt. The chef I am under at The Copper Pot, where I work, isn't married. He has no time. I wouldn't like that kind of life. I would much rather raise a family and do catering on the side. Easier time and scheduling wise. You can pick and choose your clients. :thumbup:

[Christian-Samurai]

Lego catering then? lol

[Christian-Samurai]

OK a couple things you might like to see. First they have their own theme park LegoLand (http://www.lego.com/legoland/california/Default.asp?locale=2057) and here are some cool lego sets . Full size Lego Race car (http://www.lego.com/eng/info/default.asp?page=pressdetail&contentid=4456&countrycode=2057&yearcode=2004&archive=true) Another car (http://www.wired.com/news/images/full/lego-car_f.jpg) Water snake (http://blog.yam.com/nelsnjen/7947300a.jpg) Different veiw of same car (http://www.seriouswheels.com/pics-2004/2004-Volvo-XC90-LEGO-Replica-XC90-1600x1200.jpg)

Just a few of the life size lego things I have seen :D

[blessed]

Very interesting stuff there..

[Christian-Samurai]

Didnt I tell you, they even had movie characters and other things, i bet they could even do one of you sis :D

[collegegirl]

They really have some cool stuff. My lil sis gets on and plays the lego games. They have some cool graphics on there.

[Christian-Samurai]

Yes my brother also has a lego game that he likes to play, legos truely are a cool invention

[blessed]

ha ha i was about to post a reply and for some reaason i just can't remember what i was going to say :rofl:

[collegegirl]

I think you need to replace your memory. Usually you can get a couple of Megs pretty inexpensive. For that matter, you could even get a couple of Gigs pretty easily. :nerd: :D

[blessed]

wow u see that samauri she even used some techy terms, my my my...i just upgraded my memory to a 10g so that should work for a while but u all give me so much information to process, then i have to back it up...sheesh so much work

[Christian-Samurai]

well the type of memory she sounds like she is talking about is Ram and as we know that stands for Random access memory which is something that is constantly changing so even upgranding to 10g wont help because you will just lose what you had when it gets randomly changed out for something else :D

Please remember that on any topic relating to technology nerds stick together :tongue:

[collegegirl]

Where did ram come from talking about legos? We were talking about how wonderful legos were in building character. :D

[blessed]

i don't know ask samauri

[collegegirl]

ha ha i was about to post a reply and for some reaason i just can't remember what i was going to say :rofl:
AHA!!! so It was actually YOUR fault we got off onto ram and such. Tisk tisk.

[blessed]

:harhar1: :harhar1: ok so u caught me

[collegegirl]

Come on!!! Don't change the subject. How have lego's affected YOUR life? :D

[Christian-Samurai]

heh well legos helped me learn how to build, and now that I can build computers and computers have ram WHOOOOT we got it all linked up now heh

[collegegirl]

*roll the eyes* Leave it to you, Samurai. :D

[Christian-Samurai]

skill its all skill

[blessed]

*bless rolls eyes till they fall out on the floor*:rofl:

[collegegirl]

skill its all skill
I wouldn't have put it QUITE that way. Blessed, did you loose your vision? :D :monkey1:

[blessed]

[Christian-Samurai]

[collegegirl]

[Christian-Samurai]

[collegegirl]

Hey, I already am super, I just don't have the title attached. :D

[Christian-Samurai]

hmmm riiight this coming from a soon to be super but isnt yet

[collegegirl]

You are going to get yourself into trouble. I have about 30 posts left. :banana:

[NoahL]

I've seen that lego water snake you posted a picture of. I think it's in downtown disney in Orlando. They've got a whole Lego store there, with several big lego displays outside. It was pretty neat.

[collegegirl]

I don't think I have ever been in Disney's lego store. For that matter, I didn't even know they had a Lego store. You will have to tell me where it is so that I can see it the next time I go, which is really soon.

[NoahL]

It's not actually IN Disney... it's in downtown disney, which is a seperate thing entirely. There's no charge to get in, they have a bunch of shops and resteraunts, but no rides.

[Christian-Samurai]

Yeah I love legos, even had some of the knock off brands at one time :D

[Christian-Samurai]

need more legos, hmm wonder if they have those in china :D

[HotShot53]

Don't know if they have them in china.... but you don't want to know how many are in our house ;)

[blessed]

your house is built of legos

[collegegirl]

The house of legos.......what a title line.

[Christian-Samurai]

Hmmm i bet someone out there has a house built with them

[HotShot53]

Lol, we don't quite have enough legos to make a house... at least not bigger than a doghouse.

[Christian-Samurai]

ooo make one and take a photo, we want to see

[blessed]

uh.. do u think u can fit into it that would be cool if u make one and go inside it and take out a pic

[Babyruth]

That would be sooo cool!

[blessed]

well lets see if he will do it :D

[HotShot53]

Hmm.... it would be interesting to see exactly how big of a building we really could make out of legos... but right now my brother is using a lot of them in his castle setup, and I don't think he wants that torn down quite yet ;)

[Christian-Samurai]

take a picture of it we want to see this "castle" lol

[HotShot53]

I'll tell Jeremy to, it might get quicker results that if I try to do it myself... I'll post a link to wherever he puts them up once he does.

[collegegirl]

You know, that would be kind of cool, but something like a doghouse, you might want to use the larger ones. :think: I built the Eiffel Tower out of the larger legos.....was about 24 inches tall. I will have to get the pictures from my sister. :D There is an interesting story behind some of the pictures that were taken of the lego Tower.....

[HotShot53]

That would be interesting to see.... and the stories interesting to hear... ;)

[blessed]

Talking about pics have u put up the pics of WYR yet collegegirl and hotshot i have not seen yours either

[Mick_Mack89]

You guy's, Lego's are quite possibly the coolest toys ever. You can do whatever you want with them :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:

[chocolateismybestfriend]

lego is awesome. I had pink lego as a lil girl :D Then me and my bro made the pink lego and the 'other' lego have families.
They had some pretty sweet houses.

[HotShot53]

If people would stop posting so much here, maybe I'd have time to make my post and get my pics up....

[Christian-Samurai]

LOL excuses Excuses, Yep I knew Legos would be a good topic lol, Personally I like some of the cool newer sets out now, I may just have to pick up a set

[NeedGod]

i like legos with a nice manual that tell you where to put what. then you dont have to think when building anything. you just build away. ha, *rubbing hands* there see, one lego bar over another, i wonder what i am bulding. oh, wait, i last had legos when i was 7. :)

[HotShot53]

I don't like the sets as much nowadays... they have way too many movie-sponsered themes that just don't fit with anything else... I loved the olden days when they had the cool pirate, castle, and space stuff.... and didn't have to have huge storylines and weird characters to go along with it

[Mick_Mack89]

yeah, I liked the older stuff better. It was easier to mix and match the pieces together. Although, I do like some of the new star wars stuff. They have some neat pieces that are good for building vehicles.

[Babyruth]

I like the old sets too. My brother has some and they are awesome! I don't play with them anymore because he doesn't either, but I used to.

[HotShot53]

My brother took my camera to get some pics of his setup... so he may get them up tomorrow :)
