I'm not even sure how many sets my brother and I had.
Eventually they just became two huge dresser drawers filled with Lego weapons, body parts, blocks, base plates, and accessories. We had the push Lego vacuum as well . . . although the top was a yellow base plate and I think was almost always in use for a pirate hideout.
Edit: That fourth set down is particularly great, the monkey has a gun!

My partner's kid is in an after school project where she learns about robotics using Lego robotics. She just asked me if I had the robotics kit and I was like, "NO I DON'T AND QUIT RUBBING IT IN"

I should see if I can get my old sets from my parents' house.
When I was a kid, I once organized all of my legos based on block-type into their own separate containers, and I promptly never played with them again. It was weird. My intent was to have them organized for easier building, but at the end of the massive project, I lost interest.
I'd love to play with them now, of course.
One thing I can compare it to was the last day I played Skyrim...I went through my entire Misc. quest list and completed every single one after having dozens pile up. "Now I can really sink into new quests!" I thought, and I haven't played it since. Granted...I put in something like 175 hours.
I have combined 3 different Duplo sets for my 2 year old. He loves it. And that is awesome. I want to be able to buy the $80 Tie Fighter set and build it with him. But at this age he would either throw the pieces that angered him or maybe bite on some.

That could be fun to carry home on the bus.
yeah those were late 70s
If only I was so cool
It's like hearing people use foreign pronunciations. Or how i keep getting told the brits call vacuums hoovers.
It's weird.
Lego is a brand man, you're playing with blocks.
also, i want all the dinosaur and monster fighter sets, because fuck yeah dinosaurs and monster fighting.
I have a model from the dinosaur fighting set. It's the one that looks like the tank from halo and a big t-rex
I hate doing that.

I mean, look at that. A major retailer fucks it up right there on their web page!

whoa
I always felt really cool when he would let me build sets with him.
pretty sure that's a fanmade set
I don't... how is this even...
GAH
I have to have the escher set this god damn instant
yeah, but they also spell it color. it is why i always just write it off as a regional thing.
One day they will learn the errors of their way. Untilt hen i'm just going to be a pedant on them interbutts.
I have the same memories with my brother.
Do your memories end with your brother "testing" your models by chucking them down the stairs?
It ain't ever gonna change.
I am going to buy the Collecter's B-wing and I am not rich
That is fully half the price.
But fully as rad!
We never really ended up building the models. Usually we would make our own crap that looked absolutely terrible.
The only steps we had would have been into the basement, so maybe that also saved them.
Nnenn was a genius.
Some of this stuff just looks too smooth to be Lego.
one day your nation will burn and its people will all die.
On that that, progress will be made.
Also nothing wrong with calling it soda. It's still technically correct.
at least you aren't calling them Cokes.
Hey ya'll want some cokes? we got Pepsi and 7up!
gotta quit thinking euclidean
I would love to see someone do the infinite stairs in Legos.
