FUCK. Did I just feel old not being able to recognise what the fuck Lego set that was from... I had city, pirates, castle and space back in the day... and Technics... none of this faux-cyber-ninja ish.

I had K'nex. My whole room was basically an amusement park with rides that actually worked. I created my own drive trains by taking out motors from RC cars and modifying the K'nex with rubbers, glue, and whatever else. Boy was I happy when they finally made the electric ones. I was like 15, so at that time I was over it, but its good to know some kid was going to have a fun.

K'nex is so next level;

The gripe I have with today's Lego is the faux-cyber-ninja vibe and the fact that, from what I can tell, the sets come with a lot more specialised/preformed pieces. When I was a kid there were a few pieces that were made for some special purpose in the kit, like the bows of boats/planes/shaceships (do planes and spaceships have bows?), but they were generally kept to a minimum. With this explosion of preformed pieces Lego is becoming more like Duplo.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but this was just my observation from seeing a few of the newer kits in the hands of various kids/on the shelves.

Edit: That said, looking at the additional pictures, that set does seem pretty cool. Damn, I wish it was still socially acceptable for me to play with Lego.

Edit 2: I just realised planes and spaceships have noses; I'm an idiot.

I got tickets for the NY show (Crystal Castles, Team Robespierre, Health) on the 26th. Let me know how the show goes, I've heard great things.

[reguar]

lego was the shit! Playmobile was pretty cool to ! But still, lego rocks!

Like someone said, it was really fun to destroy it to!

When you've been building for like 4-5 hours, and it only took some seconds to destroy it, that was a awesome!

That particular set is from 1998 (called "Insectoids"). It's right about when Lego started going to shit, putting Slizer (and later Bionicle) over actual Lego sets.

Space circa 1993-1995 was the best shit ever. Actually I'm looking at pictures of even older Space right now and it's great. All-red Minifigs are where Raf is biting his style from.
