Re: Lego

It's interesting that this came up actually. I'm planning on getting JP lego for Christmas. He wants lots of the stuff and it is soo expensive. Especially in the quantity he wants. So I'm currently on the look out for a bargain. I think he'll be perfectly happy with second hand lego, so long as we give it a good wash first: I've sen what kids do with lego.. *shudder*

I'd check thrift stores - sometimes you can find bags of them, pre-washed & everything.

Re: Lego

I used to have legos when I was a kid. My sister and I would play with them.

not gonna lie that seemed kind of snarky, like you were making fun of these people for still enjoying legos. I may be wrong.

Also, although I'm not into them anymore (Hands too big for those little pieces.) My nephew is pretty good at them and I enjoy giving him advice and watching him build. It is quite interesting.

Re: Lego

Oh, those are awesome!

The hubby is getting back into lego since the kids are getting into it. Phee just wishes there was less girly girl stuff and more boy stuff with "cool colors"

Re: Lego

That red & black w/the enclosed trailer is going to look extremely sharp when it's finished. And I just realized - those fifth wheels are functional!

yep!

The blue & white could also be a cement mixer...

I do have plans for a cement mixer... I hadn't thought about putting it on the blue rig... that might be a good idea


edit: also an idea for an aero cab

Re: Lego

That reaction made my day.

The log truck is probably my favorite, just because of the little details in it (even though I cheated and used real wood for the logs, rather than Lego)... the spare tire, the grill guard, the green and black paint job, the day cab... I love the little logger. Lots of details to find.

I also really like the lowered, red and black extended sleeper rig, just because it is so different from the others. I have a matching enclosed trailer planned for it. I think its going to be cool when I'm done with it.

But, for overall aesthetics, the red rig with the reefer trailer is my favorite.

I also have a grain trailer planned for the white truck... the flat bed will move to the black truck when I do that... the black truck is currently trailerless, since I have built a triple axle rig for the lowboy, since those pics were taken.

The unfinished blue and white rig will likely become a dump truck... I haven't really decided what I want to do with it yet... I just like the color scheme.

Now I want to play with blocks My dog would eat them, though.

Re: Lego

OMGs! Those are awesome! I love the log-hauler The little details are the best, too, like the battery case & the fuel tanks - and smokestacks, squeee!

(My dad was a trucker & I'm still daddy's little girl at heart, lol).

I have a Lego habit.

In particular, I like to build tiny trucks.

I still do... by size, shape and color.
