Lego!!

[Rishwin]

dont lie, who used to love playing with lego as a child?

i know i did... and i still do :tp:
since i just finnished my exams and school for this year i decided to fork out $100 for a big-ass lego truck today!! :eek:
8 weeks of holidays now and i'm really bored so my schedule will be filled with RZ and lego lol no idea why or how this toy still amuses me at this age, but i'm glad the box says 10+ (i'd be screwed without the "+")
and no, i really could not find anything better to do with the money ^^

LEGO FOR TEH WIN!! (i'll post pics of it wen i'm done :1: )

[Iain]

(i want to see pic when u done :D)

[Rishwin]

pfft... legos not childish... being bored is childish :1:
well its not just the plain lego blocks, its that lego technic or something but anyway its fun!!
i've been at it for the past 4+ hours and i've still only made 1/2 the chasis/engine.
the most time-consuming is finding the pieces you need, since i just tossed them all into a big box... i'm sure they were in separate bags for a reason ^^

[K-swiss]

i was jking i used to play with lego all the time, i loved it :P

[bottom kicker]

sigh, i still have alot of my star wars lego, ive still got all te bricks from the first time i got lego

[Ionic & Schizo]

Lego's ace. Much of the free time I got in nursery and lower primary school was spent playing with Lego. I miss it :(

[Rishwin]

omg lol i just found a 2nd set of instructions under the box to make the crane/forklift/scoop at the back of the truck :eek: and i'm only still barely through the engine and chasis...

LEGO FOR TEH WIN!

[Robert]

lego rocks

i even put it on my uni application till my college tutor made me take it off, apparently lego was the death of good engineering lolz

try somt more adult like circuits, go make a radio or somt :)

[Rishwin]

wee!!
18 working hours later and i've done 1 of the 3 possible truck designs!! (it would have been faster, but some genious *cough*me*cough* decided to throw all the nicely individually wrapped pieces in one box:P)
the crane thing on the back is actually pneumaticly opperated by a mannual pneumatic pump at the side which makes the 2 yellow piston things move the arm! i thought the arm was like completely manual till i saw the pistons which i recon is pretty cool ;)
heres the truck without the crane:http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...win/truck1.jpg
and here it is with the crane: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...win/truck2.jpg
it does look pretty small in the pic, but its about 30-40cm long.

i shall dessemble the crane/arm and make the other 2 designs (ones a forklift, the others a scoop thing) and i'll post thoes pics too :tp:
then i think i mite get the ferrari set, its supposed to be a 10:1 scale of the real thing!
