I love Lego's...[sad, isnt it] and I was wondering if anyone else here does?

Ive been making Eva-Angels and looking for instructions to make Eva's....

LOOK! :
http://www.foundrydx.com/images/eva03_01.jpg

Makes me mad that he can make that And i cant...! would, but I dont have the right pecies! heres the link to the site : http://www.foundrydx.com

theres models there, and things you can buy..I want an eva lego so bad...

i made a knee-high size AT-AT out of the packet... ugh, 1300 parts are so many...

XD, Im tring to make a chibi eva....im so confused!

You shoud talk to my cousin, Ian (the one you disagree with on the subject of darkmatter) he's completely obsessed with legos! At least he used to be...I'm not sure if he still is...

LEGO!!!
*runs into lego room and crashes walls of lego down...* YAY!! lego is fun to destroy! yet also fun to rebuild
*sits down quietly and puts pieces together*

I love legos!

My plan on making a chibi-eva is failed, all I have is the head...

then make eva heads...

Lego is cool unless it's wasted on Evangelion related stuff =P

Lego's great! Especially when you make little stunt courses for those little Lego cars people make :D

Lego pwnz =] I used to have alot, but now most of it went to my nephue.

Lego look fun, never tried it or touched it, because it's pretty expensive here

they are? They are pritty cheep in the USA, I just buy a huge bucket of them [about 10-20 USD] and a few bigger special models to get some special fancy peices. so all together its about $50 total. But then some parts of the world things are more expensive...

You just hate eva because....Why do you hate eva? I think evangelion is okay, but theres better stuff out there LIKE GUNDAM!

This has just made my day, I've got a ton of the stuff lying around the house.
Looks like somthing else to do to whittle away the hours

Dont try unless you have the instructions and 30,000+ legos. That guy had so buy so many diffrent sets just to get the right peices for one Mecha, it costed over $300 and days and days of work, I tried to make a lame-mans version, all I got were sticks for arms and legs and a lump for a head. I didnt even have a torso!...

XD i hate trying to make stuff from scratch, but i did make a biplane with machine guns and a little lego man in pilots gear in it, 'twas so happy! :D

I once made a spaceship out of lego when I was kid . . I still have it on display, never going to throw it away ^^

Legos rocked my childhood! XD I'd get stuff, build it, then eventually tear it apart and put everything in a bin from which I made all sorts of other stuff. That's why specialized pieces (they seem to be pretty prevalant these days) suck!

yeah, specialised peices suck, especially when its the only thing that you need, and teh ponly thing to make it work...

I make very elaberate space shuttles/craft. They resemble things from Gundam....

I use hinges, flat plates, pegs, sliders and bells/whistles to give it a lice look.

My claim to Lego fame was a model of Thunderbird 4 XD Took me FOREVER to find all the yellow bricks I needed! Ohhh, I remember working my arse off to pass Stage Four swimming - because Mum promised me if I did she'd buy me one of those Aquanaut sets :D I used to make little mazes for our mice too ~

We had sooo much Lego, it was practically all second-hand and when we emigrated I spent the whole bloody summer making up Lego sets from the instructions to make sure all the pieces were there for selling >.< The thing was we only had one brick separator and it kept getting lost - I had NO fingernails by the end of it!

it took me about a year and a half before i realised that the lego removers weren't flippers...

XD. I dont have any brick removers, so I just use my teeth [ouch] and/or yell at it and/or bang them against a table....

So thats why my teeth/legos are all chiped and cracked.....

Actualy I think I've still got my stash of lego around the house, scary
The only model I actualy made totaly out of the blue was to make an unmanned submarine

Im only good at 1 person space crafts, like that pod racer thing from star wars...

Same here. I'm surprised all my teeth are still intact.

Thats not true at all. Just because you hate Evangelion doesnt mean Evangelion is bad. After all, you used to love that anime. If you used to be able to love it, then perhaps you can understand that other people right now enjoy the anime. Its not a waste "just" because you dislike it. In fact, its not about what you like at all, its about what the person purchasing the legos enjoys. If the person enjoys making something related to Evangelion, then it is not a waste because he found enjoyment in what he bought.

But to further clarify, supppose I bought Doom 3, and disliked it. I believe this is your favorite game, or at least one of yours, due to the amount of posts you have talked about this game. By your logic, since I dislike this game, you have wasted your money on it, because I dislike the game. Furthermore, because I dislike this game, the game is a bad game. But in reality, you have made a good purchase, as you have found lots of enjoyment from this game, that was well worth your money. Also, it may be a bad game in my opinion, but that doesnt mean it is a bad game for everyone who plays it.

Going back on topic, I used to have tons of legos. I built everything from castles to spaceships, even to submarines. But now I have other things I enjoy doing, so...they really are just lieing around covered in dust.

Lego *drool* man i loved it!!! Greatest toy ever, thats for sure ^_^

Too bad I stopped after the Star Wars sets :(

... ... how nice, another Eva discussion *takes out Jedi sword* On second thought - nahhh...

XP <3 I used to mess with legos all the time!...Then I got bored. o-O XD But I luff messin' 'round with Tinkertoys! XD <3 I always build really weird things. o-O Only if I had a sewing machine and a workshop. XD <3 Then...well, I wouldn't know what to do with any of the crap I'd build. XD Sell it? o-O Who knows. ~_~"

The thing was we only had one brick separator and it kept getting lost - I had NO fingernails by the end of it!There was a tool to seperate the bricks? never saw one of them. Back on topic I want lego Eva's & a lego Jetfire after looking on that site now, oh for a lego Unit 1 going nuts. Wondor if you can make passable Eva's in blockland? might have to fire it up again to see.

Its like a seperate thing you can buy from lego places..That why I never had one

8D I knew alot of ways to seperate Legos by hand, but I enjoy taking them apart with either my hands or teeth. XD Do I do it just to bug the people 'round me? Who knows. 8D Personally, I think it's 'cause I'ma stubborn lil' arse. XD <3

Bwahahaha, i only ever got lego because my parents got it me to make me stop stealing my brothers XD It didn't work....I just made him include my pink stuff with the stuff he made, then took all the cool creations away and played with them instead! I remember playing for AGES with my bro and lego :D I never was much good at building stuff, but we had the pirate ship and the castle and all sorts of random playsets that were fun. I liked the horses XD Although they sorta got stolen as miniture pony pets for my barbies...

XD OH MY GOD! The horses are so awesome! <3 Actual legos are okay, but I LOVE the plants and animals and stuff. 8D I used the polar bear alot. XP Like, I used it once in a little model of an igloo. 8D I used glass as the ice. <3 XD Then I glued it to a magnet and used it to hold up pictures in my locker. <3 e.e;; I wonder what happened to that magnet...I LUFFED IT! XP <3 The head even moved!

The Lego was my favorite childhood game :D , i would like to do that Eva-03 Lego too but i have no idea where i can buy it :cry: :crybaby: , however , i found something that maybe you can find interesting Radical-Dreamer ^_^ , an Origami Eva ! :D

http://www.bluegoo.net/~jason/2004/eva.html

unluckily it don't have the diagrams :cry: but , it have the crease pattern ^_^ , i still didn't try to do it yet , however, i think that with a good logic a expert one can do it , and you say that it was one of your talents so i guess it wont be a problem for you ;) , if you manage to do it please tell me later how you did it , because i want to do this origami so much but i'm only and average paperfolding :cry: (the most i can do are only the High-intermediate ones :heh: ) oh , by the way, if you're wonder what are those red lines in one of the crease pattern, here is teh answer: http://www.bluegoo.net/~jason/2004/circleriver.html

(P.s: sorry for the off-topic :topic: :heh: )

tis okay, I dont to crease folds, just diagrams and my old folds :)

im' not scared by that oragami at all :unsure: *runs away*

I built a box out of lego blocks to store the rest of my lego :)

I used to create elaborate Barbie houses using all of my brothers' legos

MWAHAHAHAHA

you evil.....witch.

you evil.....witch.
:o
how did you knooow?

The clue was in the things you did to our precious lego blocks.

Legos! I used to play with legos a lot when I was a kid, I always was doing things with legos and picturing a story in my mind. I still have them I used to make cities too then an apocalipsy then to re-build them lol.

I still love them, One day I will start to make things with legos again ^.^

Rad, Megabloks has most of the rights to mechas from Japan. No idea why, but Megabloks has always been my block of choice XD
If you wanted the paper craft version of Eva 01 and 00 I still have those lying around me hard drive though I gave up on my eva army...

I used to play with legos all the time! I like K'nex better; they are better for making cars. I had the idea of crash-testing one that I made a while ago. I found the video of it on my computer recently and I posted it on YouTube.

here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6cIvYUXgGY

K'nex > Legos (construction wise)

Legos > K'nex (model wise)

LEGOS!!!!!!!!! I love Legos! My favorite "genre" is the Bionicle stuff. I have hundreds of those pieces, and I've made a couple of good models. One of my friends took every Bionicle piece he had and built a giant winged demon-thing with a monstrous staff. And it could stand on its own. Legos own!

Bionicles... I used to like them! But that was before I was introduced to video games.

I still have some left though, just for show.

Bionicles isn't real lego. Real lego is building amazing stuff with little bricks. Nowadays lego's becoming more like playmobile. Just put together three panels and tadaa, you built yourself a castle.

I used to have a lego fortress that I had to build one little brick at a time. Nowadays all the walls would be plug-and-play panels you just place in, instead of little lego stones. Old lego rules.

What does Bionicles have to do with Lego stoned fortresses? Seeing how neither are plug-and-play pannels.

Bionicles are fun. Not as near as fun as what Angelic describes though. Whoot for blocky space ships and battles with my brother!

You would love the Star Destroyer and Death Star sets. Those have so many pieces, my jaw drops when I look at them because I'd be looking at a few solid hours putting the darn things together.

Bionicles aren't real lego, just like a lot of stuff that Lego releases nowadays doesn't seem like real lego. It's too easy, it's designed to quickly put together and play. Where's the hours of building that once was part of the lego fun?

You obviously haven't taken a look at the larger sets. Anyways, just try building the LEGO Death Star. That'll give you a couple hours, at least.

Of course the death star would take a long time because as claimed by Angelic, traditional Lego blocks are superior because taking a long time to build, and building is where all the fun comes from.

Because the play factor was never important with Lego and little kids -__-

I can almost agree with you however, because Bionicles have a whole diffrent feel to them, its not the same [yes you are right, it isn't traditional Lego, but it is still Lego]. But Bionicles are still fun.

Lego > Bionicle, any day. I think most of us who have fond memories from when we were kids of building massive things, being immensly proud of figuring out how to do it, then having a hell of a lot of fun with them before chucking them at the floor to start the breaking-up process would agree XD Unless that was just me, of course... but I bet bionicles would be more likely to break - most things new nowadays seem to!

And considering how violent my brother was... it says something for the abilities of lego that it was one of very few toys that he never managed to break!

I was able to break a few parts including blocks, but we would always walk over the pile of lego to get to the other side. I have a lot ot lego:)

who ever used their teeth

to get the plate lego parts off each other?

proudly never broke a tooth doing so either : D

Never broke a tooth either.... :teeth:

I only used it if it was like really hard to pull with hands.

You can still see the teeth marks in some of the small, flat pieces of my lego XD

Yeah, that little "brick wrench" piece of crap never really worked for me. I never broke my teeth either.

You know anyone that did? @_@

idk but I can say whole heartedly that it isn't doing any good. lol

I would always break them into little tiny pieces with a hammer and then make "sand paintings" with them. All the ones I wouldn't eat of course....yummy plastic :eat:

I thought this (http://images.businessweek.com/ss/06/11/1129_makingof_lego/index_01.htm) was interesting.

We have a lego thread? >_>

I used to love lego. Had like 4 big bins full of it. That was back when you could use blocks from one set in another and mix and match. Nowadays each set has its own special blocks that dont fit in with anything else. It sucks. :(

I think in europe that "Lego" was the only brand to stay popular so we didn't end up with silly blocks for very long :unsure:

lego, one of the toys i will never through away... ever

I don't know what happened to mine. The last time I saw it was 6 or 7 years ago in my mother's basement. Now there's no trace of it and she doesn't know where it went. *cries*

I still have a large tower of lego with the rest of my lego inside it. heaven forbit it ever breaks or falls over.

My brother took his huge load of lego that had been sitting in our garage for the past...ummm... at least 7 years, since that's when he moved oout. And then he lost it when he got kicked out of yet another place and had to leave what he couldn't carry with him behind. Again. So, bye-bye several hundred (at least) dollars worth of lego sets!

My mom threw my collection away after my little brother stuffed a piece up his nose. >_< Oh how I miss my legos. *Cry*

My Beastly Lego Project. ^_^

My mom threw my collection away after my little brother stuffed a piece up his nose. >_< Oh how I miss my legos. *Cry*

I would've thrown the brother away. It's not the legos fault he tried to snort it. :(

Check out this awesomeness.

1500 hours taking shots of Legos and look how awesome that turned out!

Lego!

I was at science works the other day, and they have a star wars exhibition. I was about to buy a lego X-Wing, it looked so cool. Glad I didn't though. Man I miss lego.
