Lego

Big fan of LEGO here too.

Got most of the original "Space Lego", and my favourite....... the "phase 3 command ship".


Now the kids are discovering the joys.

And the other really cool thing.

Design your own model (Lego software), upload it to the Lego server, design your box and they put all the bits in the box and send it to you.

Perfect, thanks!

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Mindstorms. I have (still) the first incarnation of the robotics kits. It was great fun to play around with and scare the daylights out of the cat.

Sitting on the shelf above my iMac is the Lego X-Wing and in the other room is the Tie Fighter.

Great stuff!

Oh and has anyone seen the Mythbusters episode on the Lego ball?

I'd love to get my hands on this bit of kit :D:cool: ......

The other one has gull-wing doors, way too bling for a Land Rover forum.
