How many SU guys were into lego?
-
Hi all, I am curious,
how many Sketchers were into Leggo as a child. Just interested if there is a commonality in the real and virtual 3D headspace. -
me!
these were still the standard building blocks in those days - not these horrible StarWars kits, consisting of 1,000,000 pieces where my wife and I needed 3 days of our christmas holidays to complete one ... -
I hated Lego, far too restrictive. I was always cutting them up to make the shapes I wanted.
-
I still am at 53! I’d love to get the Porsche and the Saturn5 but I just can’t justify them financially. Whilst I’m now (and have been for many years) in architecture I started my working life in mechanical engineering and Lego technic appeals to my inner gear head.

I pre-date Lego's , it was Lincoln Logs for me ..........
-
& Meccano
-
I used Lincoln logs, Legos, and a couple Erector sets, all together.

What do you mean "were into Lego"?
-
I've got a lot of Lego "for the children"...
-
Less time to play with Lego nowadays, but I still love to play with them and my children too. I also love the Star Wars sets by the way, they are cleverly built and my kids love them too.
-
JQL - although my boys are between 18 and 20 now - these StarWars things mustn't disappear - otherwise I get deep in trouble

Like Tuna and Valmont,
Lincoln Logs, Erector Sets, chemistry set's that included radioactive stuff, lead soldier casting stuff, and a few pounds of mercury to boot.
Oh yeah, those were the days!

I am still very much into Lego! We use it in the Studio sometimes for 'Massing Studies' and how to deal with 'Messy' 3D Construction Details. I was also into Meccano (With Metal Components and Nuts & Bolts), when younger - But graduated to 'Handy-Angle' and 'Kee-Klamp!' - Which can be regarded as the Adult Version of Meccano! We also use Cocktail Sticks, Barbecue Skewers and Lollipop Sticks for Structural Models.

Agreed, no need to stop enjoying. I stand corrected. I remember the sound operated module that would turn on and off the 4WD motor and the little bricks with light would fascinate me.

I was into Lincoln Logs, Tinker Toys, and Lego (old School) I combined them all and built an aircraft carrier.

I remember Erector sets, Lincoln logs, Tinker Toys and the small bricks. I also had A wind up train and an electric train.
Yes, that was in the 40's and 50's.

Wow, an "aircraft carrier" - are there still any photos?!? -
