A Lego discussion

[CptnDeliciousPants]

For those who have an interest in, as quoted in the Lego movie from Lord Business: “It’s a highly sophisticated interlocking brick system..”

As Lego can be appreciated by many and even adults who've come up with impressive designs, I wanted to share similar experiences along with being able to discussing everything - from the first set you grew up with, the games you played, favourite themes, building methods, physical or digital creations, quotes from the movies and all in between.

Go for it and looking forward to those who respond to this.

Heh...I grew up with Space Lego, for the most part. Didn't have as many dedicated kits and themes and parts when I grew up, though.

My best creation, though, was what I called my "Battletruck" - it was probably a meter long, used wheels from Techno Lego, pieces from City Lego, of course parts from Space Lego...it had a cockpit where two drivers set, had a gunner's station in the rear, computer consoles all over, multiple weapon placements, radar tracking, sensor pods...it was really just a hodge-podge of bits, but I was proud of it. No matter what else I built, it had to contend with the Battletruck.

I was a diehard Bionicle fan back in the day. I adored the story and characters, though I was iffy with the sets from '07 to the end of its run in '10 (fragile socket joints from '08 onwards, too few new pieces and reusing too many builds and pieces from previous years). Regardless of the flaws, remembering Bionicle makes me comfy and nostalgic, to the point I'm still thinking of writing a fan fiction with my own original characters. Plus with programs like Bricklink Studio, I can visualize the characters in my head as 3D models.

Fun fact: my career RPing started on BZPower, and my first RP was the Dino Attack RPG. You can pick probably guess why I was so drawn to it. I still look back on this time fondly, though I still cringe with how often my obsession of the month found its way into my writing.

EDIT- Including two of my MOCs, one a Toa of Sonics and the other an evolved Rahkshi inspired by the Elites in Halo.

I wanted Legos because my brother had them and well they looked so cool to me. When I got sets for Christmas as a kid, I think it was Paradisa and some space set, I was not good at building them at all lol. Luckily big brother did. Still loved them. Now, I'm more into the architecture, which I have no issue constructing on my own. I haven't gotten a new set yet but these are some of my old ones.

Very nice for those who've shared about their past sets and coming up with various designs of putting all together. It's nice seeing how people use Lego in different ways.

The most recent which took the longest out of all the builds on Stud.io - Millennium Falcon ultimate (well over 7000 pieces)



It seemed strange for the Eye of Agamotto to be included...


And from what I remember with the earliest set I had - Lego System.
I now rather build on Stud.io as it works better with functionality and not being limited.
