Does anyone bother with this with their kids these days? Used to love this.

Check out these stadiums some bloke made including the turf. Bet kids dont have the patience nowadays.

You need a mortgage to buy it now. Even the basic brick sets. The franchise stuff has gone way over the top. Its more aimed at geeks than children these days.... except for the mass of character figures they call Lego. Don't even get me started on the kin films.... (sometimes I love having a young family.... lego is not one of them)

We spent thousands of pounds on Lego in the 90s for my son,kept him occupied for hours,a truly great toy,I can remember having it myself as a kid and all you could build was a bungalow with two windows and a door.

I work with a young autistic lady who uses lego figures and pictures to describe scenarios, i.e. things that upset her or make her happy.

I sold all my kids lego in 2004 on ebay and made a few quid...

My little lad (6) now has tonnes of the stuff and loves it - he could spend hours in The Lego Store in Manchester. Even my 9 year old daughter enjoys it.

The biggest problem now, compared to my day (I am 40 next month) is that there are so many intricate and themed sets - everything from Ghostbusters to Star Wars to The Simpsons, The Beatles, Marvel Superheroes and beyond - that he makes whatever it might be, The Ghostbusters car as an example or a Tie-fighter, and that's really it.

The sets back in the day were fairly simple and if you dismantled them you could use your imagination to build anything with the standard bricks but so many of the pieces in these sets are so bespoke that building a house, or a boat, or a ship etc. is much more difficult.

Keeps him entertained for hours though and he just loves the stuff. They really have brought themselves back from the brink well, having nearly ceased to exist in the face of the video game revolution.

Your correct with the last paragraph regards video games etc. I just had no patience for lego when younger.

I also remember the days of Meccano, the metal one, full of nuts and bolts,
girders, metal plates, motors, pulleys, handles and gears.

A fabulous activity when I was a lad.

Xmas day 2015, I spent 3-4 hours building the Lego Millennium Falcon.
Not a single regret.

It is expensive though and I'd been a good boy that year, but I didn't get any last Xmas :-(

We have a lot, spanning back from now to over 40yrs ago. Our youngest still spends hours with the old and new on 'projects'.

Some of the large new sets are just too expensive though.

My boys effort last Christmas. I'm not entirely sure who had the most fun :lol:

I had so much fun building Lego when I was younger, I'm so glad my boy enjoys it too.

Am I being too nostalgic to think kids enjoyed and learned a lot more from these things than computer games? I always had computer games but I never enjoyed them more than 'proper' activities. Well until I discovered champ manager 97...

I'm 30 and a huge Lego fan (to my girlfriend's despair).

Spent a couple of k in the last year or two I'd imagine.

Sadly I have nowhere to put my Ewok Village or Death Star so they shall remain boxed for now :(

My Lego Millenium Falcon currently resides in my six month old's bedroom until I can figure out where I'm going to put it. Clock is ticking on that one before he can reach it though.

My Ecto-1 however is kept in my office at work.

I'm considering the Death Star, but I'm in a similar situation to Darth.

My Millenium Falcon is in our bedroom room, next to our bed, but my nearly 2 yr old is getting within touching distance of it now so I'm thinking about where to put it next.

Also with the Death Star I've got to consider the build time required and a suitable location so it might well be a stair gate on the bedroom door whilst I'm doing it, or booking a couple of days off work so I can build it whilst my daughter is at Nursery and the missus is at work.
It was easier to build the Falcon because my daughter wasn't moving around and I didn't have to worry as much.

My lads have never really been into Lego, although my youngest lad was massively into Beyblades and spent hours playing with those.

You're not playing the game there Sid. Building under pressure really does test your resolve :lol:

Sort of related but has anyone seen the Lego Batman movie? If that's a kids film, then I'm a Jedi. Almost all the jokes would go over a kids head and a good slice of them over some adults heads too!

Great film, mind.

Watched it with my kids and brother in law recently.

My kids definitely didn't get all the jokes in that one, but it wasn't as good as I thought it was going to be.

I took my lad to watch it during half term. I howled at some of the stuff (I'm just like my dad!). We both enjoyed it immensely. A day off work well spent :)

The Ghostbusters HQ is probably my favourite that I have set up. ABsolute bugger to build though. The level of detail is amazing.

Bloody hell Sid, you must be good, It took me about 7 hours!

Mind you by that point I'd already spent 4 hours doing the x wing and couldn't feel my thumbs anymore. The circle imprints lasted for days!

I bought my Ecto-1 from the NYC lego store after I'd paid a visit to the real Ghostbusters fire house in Tribeca. Unfortunately it was being renovated due to asbestos but I just put it down to repairs from the containment unit explosion...

Lego is great, can happily still play with it when with the girlfriends nephews.

It's a fact that standing in a lego brick, bare foot, is one of the most painful injuries known to man!

Whilst working shifts one Sunday I get a call, can Ben play with your millennium falcon.
Yes I say through gritted teeth, but only if he's careful.
I get home it's in bits, I was gutted but bravely said it's ok.

Hope these load up. My son's effort at the millennium falcon. Took him around 8 hours.
Does not play with it, it's on a shelf with the rest of his build leg.

Spent what seemed like weeks tracking down the 'must have' 'Life on Mars' one Christmas. The little blighter put the thing together in about fifteen minutes and never touched it again. I think that it cost about £120.

Something to look back on for him.
Exactly what I did, just so I could see for myself the differences, took me about 4 hours or so to knock her together 8-)

Good going that.

He was about 8 hours spread over 3 days. He kept pestering me to do more but I wanted to watch him. He started early one morning whilst I was upstairs and paid the price ( he got bag 6 and 9 wrong way round and got upset as "it's rubbish this they've sent the wrong parts" so we had to back track a bit and re-do it )

Was shocked how well he did, how much care and attention to detail he took. He had only just turned 10!

A must for leg fans I'd say.

Is there any other big projects out there? He's not into star wars generally it was just the size of it that took his fancy, so it wouldn't matter what it was.
