[Bob Evil]

I used to love LEGO, and after reading William Gibson's latest novel, I have an urge to buy some again ... though for probably a different purpose than I would have used them as a child.

Legos are awesome.
I don't think any childhood is complete without a big box of Legos.

I loved trying to imitate whatever they did on the box cover.

There's also this other kind which uses magnets. I think it was called K'nex. That rocked too

 

[mooney6]

Nah, K'nex isn't the magnetic one ... K'nex is the ones with the long thin stick-like pieces, and the wheel lookin' thing that they click into ... there are a few magnetic ones, though.

I used to do that too.
Also got catalogs in the mail, even though I never ordered from them. I would also try to build the stuff in them using whatever I already had.
By the time I sold them, I had two large cardboard boxes full of just LEGOs. No original boxes or manuals, just the LEGOs.
Only reason I lost interest in them was because I got a job early on and was finally able to buy myself video games.

Legos are still awesome. I use to buy like from a catalog that comes every 2 weeks.

I also like.. bought RockRaiders and LegoLand for the PC

I loved Legos. It was all the fun of playing with a toy rocket ship, or air plane, or car, or boat, or UFO that you got to build on your own! The local mall has a Lego Store where you can buy a small can to put the Legos you want into. They mainly have red though..

@above: I LOVED LEGOLAND FOR THE PC, and I ALSO LOVED ROCK RAIDERS (still do, even still am afraid of the levels with a limited amount of oxygen)

Ain't Legoland a themepark? lol

 

[Bob Evil]

LEGO Land is a themepark, and a series of titles on the PC.

So what exactly is the point of this thread? Anything to do with NDS games at all?

That aside, yes I like Lego, though I was never really good at it when I was younger and now... I don't suck as much

Don't think so. Unless there's a new Lego game for DS.

I never liked lego, really. By the way, what is the plural of Lego? Lego or Legos? I think it's just Lego, personally. Discuss?

 

[Bob Evil]

The plural of LEGO is LEGO.

Like sheep.

Since the people over at Lego prefer people to call them "Lego bricks" or "Lego toys", I guess Lego bricks.

@thebobevil: SERIES?! Please say you're serious and that there's more than 1.

 

[Awdofgum]

i still have two giant boxes filled with legos, i'd spend hours building gigantic battlefields and many other random things.

 

[BORTZ]

Americans commonly call it LEGOS.

LEGO makes a huge deal when it comes to naming. The company is LEGO, the bricks are 'LEGO Bricks' xD

QUOTEThe Lego Group's name has become so synonymous with its flagship toy that many refer to the bricks themselves (collectively) as "Lego" or "Legos" (the latter term being common only in US English), although the Lego Group considers such uses to be trademark dilution. Lego catalogues in the 1970s and 1980s contained a note that read:

"The word LEGO® is a brand name and is very special to all of us in the LEGO Group Companies. We would sincerely like your help in keeping it special. Please always refer to our bricks as 'LEGO Bricks or Toys' and not 'LEGOS.' By doing so, you will be helping to protect and preserve a brand of which we are very proud and that stands for quality the world over. Thank you! Susan Williams, Consumer Services."

The official Lego website is www.lego.com. For many years, visitors to www.legos.com (also registered to the Lego Group) have received notices similar to the one pictured, and were intentionally redirected to the official website, to further protect the brand.

"Lego" is officially written in all uppercase letters. The company asserts that to protect its brand name, the word Lego must always be used as an adjective, as in "Lego set", "Lego products", "Lego universe", and so forth. Nevertheless, such corporate admonitions are frequently ignored and the word "Lego" is commonly used not only as a noun to refer to Lego bricks, but also as a generic term referring to any kind of interlocking toy brick.

LEGO means 'play well', though I forget in which language.
