Lego ship, how I wanted to play you..

Somebody make a map like this that is just all one height but has buildings and roads on it. Basically, take a city map and squash it flat.

mann i wanted that ship as well :/ i got a lot of lego from rummage sales and stuff, but never any of those expensive kits...

and if anything, its worse these days!

Well, consider it this way, the kits suck at creativity, most of there parts are unique, which means they can not be reused, while those rummage lego (if you have fantasy) can be rebuilt into anything.





Still i consider lego one of the best toys, it has brought up generations of engineers and artists.

If you have time to make this Star Wars Prob, you might be a Han (Chinese) Solo

I made a lego ship out of the basic square blocks, don't need some special kit necessarily

[knorke]

yes,use fence pieces as windows or radiator grills, thats the most fun! loved making rallye cars and tanks and rallye tanks.

I built castles, spaceships and whole roomfilling battle szenes.

i know EXACTLY what you mean!
really, wanted to post exactly this too. i guess the lego makers figured out that the normal lego, the ones you can use for anything, are not gonna be THE business, as a lot of them are out there already, they don't ever break, they don't get old, and you can not put a big price on them, cause china would just flood the market with ultra cheap replicas.
so ... "we need a new market strategy!" (isn't this how all great stories end?)
make these special parts, that can only be used for special themed stuff, like eg star wars, and couple them to movie and game releases, ...
yeah, business saved! (maybe?) kids getting dumper! (who cares? i mean.. their bad if they bring their kids to a battle!)

[knorke]

yes the themed stuff (harry potter, indianer jones and whatnot) is really bad.

for my own only had fischertechnik which is cool too. kind of like lego technics.

beware, the sideways driving wheel rotator vehicle!
(it can drive in any direction but without rotating the chasis)

[Wombat]

[PicassoCT]
