I also have a few sets of my dads and a few electric trainsets that make steam.I can't wait till my kids are old enough to play with them.I also have a Scalextric that is about 25 years old.

Stoffel76 Posted April 13, 2012 Share I grew up with Lego. Loved the Technic stuff... My dad loved it too, which was probably why he bought it for me. Been looking at the new Technic Lego and it's cool, but not doesn't seem quite as versatile as the older Lego? And it's expensive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted April 13, 2012 Share I still love lego... Used to have a whole stash of the stuff, but it was passed on to others in the family. I'm just about to start collecting again now, but just going for the basic block & item sets, not the themed ones just yet. The STAR WARS sets are fantastic... Miss mine.

splat Posted April 13, 2012 Share I grew up with a huge box of Legoand then when my folks downscaled, it all got chucked out. Since my boy was born 5 years ago, I have bought black bags full.Some of it is even for him... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Brunsdon Posted April 13, 2012 Share I loved my lego sets as a kid, infact I still sneak into some shops to take a look at the latest Lego products. I've had my NXT now for 4years and only used 3 times ... time to get it out and play with it. Actually thinking of donating mine to a primary school we are going to send out son too - they take part in the Mindstorm League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caerus Posted April 13, 2012 Share Still get to play with Lego often, love the stuff. I even managed a trip to Legoland in the UK with one of my nephews, it was awesome All the kids going absolutely mental for the stuff, defintely worth taking the kids there if you can. I even got to drive in a Lego car. Edited April 13, 2012 by Caerus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAAD4 Posted April 13, 2012 Share If your'e a fan and your kids are too young, there's the giant foam Lego blocks. My missus owns a playgroup and has some. The 18 month to 3 year old laaities really like the stuff. The agents used to be in Bryanston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
