If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

That lego church is impressive but pretty freaky. Crucified Lego Jesus in particular.
I never really made anything neat with legos, never had enough. I just built spaceships then 'crashlanded' them at the bottom of the stairs...
The mouse however is ace, best link I've clicked on all day! Cheers.

Every Transformers fan made TFs out of Lego when their parents wouldn't buy them a particular figure. Fact.
Except the ones who didn't, of course.

True! And guilty!

Muchas gracias to Mob for the Sig, proving why he's called 'King'.
The "i" in "Señior" from "Señior's Covenant" is intentional and part of a stupid & cheesy inside joke from '02. Thank you for your concern.

The other week I met up with my friend and he'd bought a massive box of Lego (inc. Star Wars and Harry Potter stuff) for £10. So we spent about 5 hours smoking weed and building mecha.
What a great day that was.
I would have waited a ******* eternity for this!!!!

Me and my best friend used to build mecha out of lego, we would then take it in turns to throw hacky sacks at each others mechs, the more bits you knocked off, the more points you got to spend on buying parts to upgrade your mech
Happy days..

Genius. The joys of youth. Or was that only just yesterday?
I made Star Fleet toys out of Lego too. And also transforming Headmaster heads out of card. I was a lonely little boy.

The mouse picture no longer works for me, and that makes me incredibly sad.
Please-restore the mouse.

Lego mouse? It's rather furry.
Just think what amazing TF models could be accomplised with the Lego Technic that's available today. That said, I haven't seen any Technic stuff in the shops lately - it's all bloody Harry Potter and Star Wars sets these days.
If anyone still has some Technic, have a bash and post pics.

I loved the space Legos. With the Magnets? Anybody remember what they were called? Probably something original, like Magnetron.
And Futron. I remember a friend of mine got the whole Futron set with that monorail through Make A Wish. That was pretty sweet.

Capsela, Linkits, Robotix. Actually, I think all three of those are still around. The Capsela pilots made great humans when playing Transformers 'cos they kinda fitted the scale.
Legion: 'in Lego' in anagram form. Are you made of Lego?
I used to have the really old basic sets of lego - the kind just for making houses and simple stuff - way back before even Lego men came about. Just showing my age here.

Of course. How silly of me.
Atually, that Lego guy looks like Ben Afleck. Or at least it's someone with the same amount of acting ability.
