I was really into it back when I was a kid :D. They were expensive af though. Like I remember one bionicle set would run me like 15 bucks.

Bionicle is blasphemous. Too many specialized blocks.

 

Lego is love, lego is life.

 

I always preferred the old school space pieces (not the nasa ones), the arctic set, the under the sea set.

 

I even had that epic jet fighter on the back of a pickup truck one that they no longer make :( never got to finish it because I was too young and lost all the pieces. I wish I could find that kit again.

I always liked Lego. Still do. Shame they don't make the train tracks with the metal strips anymore. They all use batteries now.

I cannot be held responsible for any bad advice given.

I've no idea why the world is afraid of 3D-printed guns when clearly 3D-printed crossbows would be more practical for now.

My rig: The StealthRay. Plans for a newer, better version of its mufflers are already being made.

Saving it for my future kids^^ Two big plastic storage boxes filled to the brim with blocks of all kinds  B)

Which theme was it?

And which year do you think?

It used to be in the back of their catalog. Not sure if it was any one theme, but it was one of the really advanced builds with like 1500+ pieces.

 

Lego's should be required study from grade 1-5

I'm not on very good terms with lego...

 

I haven't bought a single pack since they cancelled their MMO (I was 12).

 

come to think of it, it was kind of an epiphany, I never payed for a subscription MMO after, it's always lost money.

 

 

but yes, I do use my existing legos for some cool projects, I built a few assault rifles & tanks.

I have a lot of sets. In the process of selling them, can get over 1000$

Got quite a lot of sets from the early 2000's, not really sure what to do with them anymore. I don't really have the space or time to build them since most of them are in pieces in huge boxes but then again it's a bit sad to sell them all at once.

Do you remember which year that was?

It was in there for years back in the 90's. It was a jet fighter on the back of a trailer being pulled by a semi truck. Looked awesome. I've looked everywhere for it online, haven't seen it.

Did you search on Brickset?

Did just now, searched Jet. Got 3 pages and it's not on there.

 

I don't think it exists anymore :(
