Shillzz Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 (edited) By popular demand, I give you the Lego thread. What was your favourite set/series growing up? What did it do, and why was it so good? This was my favourite, from the Blacktron series. It had 2 detachable shuttles and ejected a little space craft when you raised the central screen.

Shillzz Posted March 13, 2013 Author Share Posted March 13, 2013 Those space landing pads were fantastic. My Lego-ing spanned from M:tron (1990) to Spyrius (1995), I then graduated to Lego Technic, which was pretty damn cool at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarethRDR Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 I liked the way the Space Police 6897 ship could drop the central prison-pod and then fold in on itself. Anything with detachable parts was awesome. Also... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
islingtonclaret Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Had a lot of the MTron stuff, was good fun. It was all about the early Pirates stuff and Castle Black Falcons though for me. The Black Falcon's Fortress...boss! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarethRDR Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Well, I just did a Google image search for "Awesome Lego Spaceships", and this is one of the images that came up. I'm actually going to put a NSFW disclaimer, because it sure as hell gave me an erection... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shillzz Posted March 13, 2013 Author Share Posted March 13, 2013 (edited) Was going to say the exact same thing Hogso. I think getting the monorail would have represented a breaching of the spoilt kid line. Edited March 13, 2013 by Shillzz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frobisher Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 This was the first Lego set I built all by myself, without the aid of my dad. I have no idea what happened to it but I loved that castle, spent hours playing with it as a kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eames Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 (edited) I love the fact the Lego wiki is called Brickipedia. This pleases me muchly. Edited March 13, 2013 by Eames Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarethRDR Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 I had that bottom one. You could fire the cannons if I remember rightly. Very cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eames Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 You could. It was awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginko Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 (edited) I didn't ever have sets per se, my cousins did and they would always have them sprawled out on their bedroom floor. It never appealed to me to build lego how it was intended. We inherited a huge blue plastic tub of random bits of old lego from the '80s. I loved it, I just built all kinds of vehicles, planes, helicopters, cars with foldable wings. Hours of fun.

Danwichmann Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Is it wrong to have the urge to go into the attic and get the Lego out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogso Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Is it wrong to have the urge to go into the attic and get the Lego out? Depends, do you want to build with it, or stick it up your arse? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
islingtonclaret Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Those cannons that fired were great. They all had the added touch of firing those little round black bits that looked like cannonballs. Aw, man! I wanted the "Imperial" pirate stuff so badly. I can't even go to the attic and get the lego, because it's all at my parents' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
