Default Legos kick ***

When I was a wee little ankle biter, my parents bought me Legos. As a result they had to endure countless hours of me sifting through my 2 boxes of the little plastic bricks tofind that perfect match. It kind of goes along with my penchant for building and creating things. More recently, Legos came out with the Mindstorms and the NXT, robot building sets. I'm just amazed at the ingenuity of some of the creations people have assembled.

Here is a link of a Rubiks cube solver with video and links for building your own:

For those that are into photography...here's a link to some photographed legos.

They are still a great toy for kids, Nick, and teach valuable things like spatial relationships etc
(seeing what fits into what)- great for children's mental development and creative skills.
I built some great stuff with Lego and a Bayco building set, which builds houses........as a kid
Hope they continue to succeed - great toys.

Thats crazy, I used to struggle putting a roof on my house when i used legos.. Legos were something that just never got old.. If i got in trouble when I was a kid they would pass time in my bedroom so fast. Just building then destroying then building again

Dude, they have a Lego Land theme park in CA.

My favorite legos were blacktron! I had a room full of a lego city, I had tones. Monorail, train, roads, gas station, the works!

ironically, i just saw this today: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5fAn5A0HbhU
