Who else loves these things?!
I have a few sites that feed to my Google Reader and they post a lot of awesome Lego creations! :D
Any of you like to make your own custom minifigs?

Maybe it's a Canadian thing, but my friends and I were always mad at people who called them "Legos", since there is more than one, they are simply "Lego"

As an answer to your question, I stopped caring about them roughly ten years ago.

I religiously built with Lego bricks when I was a wee lad, and also K'nex. It's nice to see those being brought up. One time I made a friggin' WORKING rollercoaster with K'nex... totally awesome.

Wow! sparky678911, that's awesome! What program do you use? I only have used the official Lego program, but I've seen people play around with others. AND YES! I'm soo jelly. :O I want that set!
@airplanes18: YES! I KNOW! I hate Megablocks! They fall apart so easily and have you even seen their sets recently? They come with like 5 blocks and the rest are just big pieces that only fit into that set. Megablock Halo is cool and all, but once you buy that set, that's pretty much all you can build with those bricks.
@K'nex: I have a bunch but I don't think they will ever be as cool as Lego. :)

i'm talking about Mega Blocks back in the day where you could get a 3 gallon bucket of em for like $5. :P back in the day they were just a cheap knock off of legos now though they are crap.

i have the k'nex roller coaster set... at least i used to. I hated working with them. When they snap into place they hit your finger, and after a while my hands would get really sore building with them.

I'm kind of in love with Lego's. With the Star Wars Anniversary there are so many new sets coming out all the time. I don't really play with them, I mostly enjoy putting them together and well.... Looking at them :P I wish I could get the Millenium Falcon that is huge! http://goo.gl/PqKa6

Its amusing to still get Christmas gifts, and this year I got 3 or 4 different sets :D

Wow! What sets? I'm so happy they decided to make Star Wars Legos! :D I just wish they can take Transfromers from Megablocks!
