I freely admit it now. I played with LEGOs when I was a kid - I got my first set around 1977. It was a Lunar Lander, before they had LEGO minifigs. I was into the SPACE series and the CASTLE series. I probably played with them until I was 13 or so, and the 'cool' factor caught up to me.
I had forgotten about LEGOs until fairly recently when I happened to be in the toy section of a department store, and was amazed by all the cool sets they had come out with. The Millenium Falcon and AT AT Walkers both caught my eye.
Well, I was over at a friend's house over the Christmas break and she had the LEGO Eiffel Tower (which looks like it sells for about $700 bucks IF you can find one!) After that, I started looking around on the 'Net just for fun, and there is this entire LEGO subculture I had no idea about!
Ive loved the Space Shuttle program, and now that it is going away, I felt like it was time to relive my LEGO dorkism...
LEGO Shuttle Adventure - 1204 pieces
Now that is a lot of pieces!
Ill throw some more pics up as it starts to build up...I think my wife is looking forward to this too!
