What incredible creations can you make with Legos?

Went to the attic and found these. It felt as a shot of nostalgia, reminding me not to grow up and to stay curious.

Any other lego fans?

Any other lego fans?

Sure! How couldn't I? The best toy for building creativity and imagination I ever saw. But I'm more a fan of a big box of many different bricks than I am of building a given model of, e.g. the space shuttle.

"You're too old to play with legos." is one thing I'm never going to tell my children. I really don't know or remember why I used to think that.

Improved the setup a little :)

Legos are awesome. And they really are the best toy out there. I still play with them when I've got nothing more productive to do . I agree that a big box of bricks is better than the sets, but the sets come with unique pieces. I like to google search "fancy houses" and duplicate them with legos.

Actually, you can use legos to make practical things around the house, as well. I've got a pencil jar on my desk made of legos, for example.

Hmm, now that's an idea.

I once saw lego logic gates. They had one or two Technic axles sticking out one side, and you could shove them in for 1 and pull them out for 0. One axle on the other side moved in or out as a NOT, OR, AND, etc gate. There was too much slack in the system to chain them together, but in principle you could build a lego digital computer...

Legos are one of the most fun things I have ever played with, I remember making a basic single cylinder pneumatic piston engine some years ago and I felt pretty proud of myself. These NXT creations put it to shame though. :)
