Let's reminisce about Lego

[Alrin]

I think you can safely say that Lego is/was one (if not The) most flexible toy I had when I grew up. It is indeed a sweet trip down memory lane. The big ol' Lego box. And how I managed to loose those elusive 1x1 blocks. Damn, I swear they are all in some parallell universe by now.
My father bought me some Technics as well, that stuff was ... way cool. Still is!
I am a little disappointed with the 'new' style that lego has taken.
Now it is not so much creative building with a random assortment of blocks that a constructor fashioned together and made a blueprint. Now.. the lego blocks (for the most part) are too special to be used for more than a very few select purposes. I guess you could still buy the basic blocks/sets but it's disappointing to see the kits they offer.

Or maybe I am just getting old and too cynical to appreciate Lego to its fullest. I'm 26 :)

Love it though. Thanks for the nostalgia ride.
