Big into Legos?

If yes, this may very well keep you occupied for weeks: http://www.peeron.com/inv/theme/LEGO

You can search for sets (some from the '60s even!), find out what pieces were used in making them, and download instruction manuals for a lot of em. If you have a big pile of assorted Legos then you can make your own versions of models by using your own parts and improvising. Or, failing that, they list places you can buy the complete sets.

In retrospect its a shame I didnt buy the Williams F1 car when it came out a few years ago, theyre worth quite a bit now

Thanks to you, Vin, I managed to find the first LEGO robot I ever got!

...Now that I see it as it was supposed to be built, man that thing was ugly...

Oh, well. It gave me the tailfins to my LEGO Pyro!

Sweet!

My younger brother and I spent countless hours with Legos when we were kids. Every birthday for about six years, all we wanted were more Legos, and we built some really massive worlds, which took up over half the bedroom at times!

My little sisters now have all our old pieces, probably a solid ten or twelve cubic feet in a big box.

[Edit: Found it! One of the first sets I remember building, when I was maybe 7 years old: http://www.peeron.com/scans/497-1/1. It was one of the VERY EARLY space sets Lego made, so it's not very impressive, but it holds some sentimental value for me.

Thanks! I found my old castle's instructions and sent the link on to my brothers (15 and 16) who have all my old legos. Maybe they'll have a bit of fun trying to see if all the bits are still there to build it.

I have two sets I've been working on rebuilding.

Set #8847, Dragster (This one is completed, sitting on top of my monitor)

Set #8860, Auto Chassis (This one I'm missing a couple of parts from still, from 1980 or so)

LEGO is kicking it old school!

Heck, I need to find my jaw bone somewhere under my desk! And the guy even built a escort ship for the carrier! Most utterly impressive!
