1969912 0 #5 January 2, 2012 I want an old Erector Set with the metal parts. Might be available on EBay. I guess they stopped making them because kids would snort the little screws and nuts used to hitch the metal beams together.

virgin-burner 1 #10 January 3, 2012 i was at the legoland germany in october last year, and i got myself a volkswagen t-1.. 1332 parts or so. took me about 16hrs with a couple breaks inbetween. check out the nice details, the lava-lamp, the shirt in the window that says "make lego-models, not war".. pretty cool! “Some may never live, but the crazy never die.” -Hunter S.

TriGirl 333 #13 January 4, 2012 The Toys for Tots drive usually kicks off around the same time as the Marine Corps Birthday Ball in November. Several locations will ensure a bin or two at the entrance to the venue, and advertise that fact in the weeks before the ball. My first year I donated an anniversary edition Lego set (it came in a plastic box also shaped as a large lego, so it was pretty obvious). I saw one rather senior officer's face light up, as he turned to his wife and said (in his best 7-yr-old boy voice), "she has Legos!"

mutumbo 0 #18 January 8, 2012 QuoteThat would probably be considered an antique by today standards... they are. i used to play with erector sets instead of legos when i was a kid. my dad has 10-15 of them around the house, he collects antiques and stuff like that. some are fairly valuable, depending on what model and completeness of the set.Thanatos340(on landing rounds)-- Landing procedure: Hand all the way up, Feet and Knees Together and PLF soon as you get bitch slapped by a planet.
