Lego Appreciation Thread

I like Warhammer. But you can't take a Stomp apart and make it into a car, then take it apart again and make it into a house.

These are orks we're talking about. If you have any creativity you can easily make 2 trukkz (ork trucks) and an ork fort out of the parts for one stompa. You can't take them apart, though, you're right.

And thats whats great about Lego

[PirateClock]

not to mention warhammer is expensive as fuck, i once thought of getting some stuff for shits and giggles to put with my handful of model ww2 planes and tanks from back in the day but it just isn't worth the money if you don't plan on actually playing with it (which im not going to do for obvious reasons, mainly because it's lame).

[GearBoxClock]

Main I love Warhammer. But the price point is also valid.

[Thor]

I played it once or twice but the games are too time consuming. Building the models is the only really fun part. I didn't think it was too expensive but then I have a lot of disposable income. I'm going to stop derailing this thread now though and post this

Depends on the glue
Your either using super-glue or plastic glue
But there aren't many reasons to unglue.

I realy liked the bionicles untill theiy made the same guys over and over in different styles
I still like the first style the most without all the shiny armor etc.

Most glue you're going to use is going to work by melting the plastic and literally fusing the two parts together seamlessly. If you DO use a normal glue most solvents are going to melt the plastic. The only way to easily make parts swappable is to glue magnets into the parts and hold them in that way. You can also "pin" things in if you're sure they won't just fall out. Most people don't bother with that stuff though.

The bionicles are a bit after my time, i only own one. One of this things that can turn into a ball. My nephew has that Lego Viking shit complete and that's the most badass lego i have ever seen, with giant Dragons and shit. He broke his collar bone and wrist, so I bought him the Fenris Wolf and the Wyvern Dragon, cause im such an awesome guy. His parents, my parents and our grandparents bought him the 3 big Viking sets so he got the entire series in one day! This is the same nephew that made a clockcrew comic 3 years ago btw.

I like how apparently the level of deformity indicates rank within the Lego Pirate community.

[Wind-up Clock]

Fuck yeah LEGO. That shit made up half my childhood and got me into engineering.

People can make some serious shit here.

also you have crap like LDD and Ldraw/LCAD where you can make virtual lego creations for free, then buy them and make them for real.

[Fireman]

I really love the Star Wars Lego. Although I do not care for The Clone Wars series I do however really dig some of the Lego sets from it.
Maybe I will get some lego if I can afford it sometime soon.

[AnkhClock]

Too bad all the lego sets from my childhood are only available on eBay or some shit like that.

Those were the best (Though Vikings and Indiana Jones are also cool.)
