Blast from the past! I had that car kit as well. My dad bought it for me when I was in hospital. He helped me build it.

I had that too.

It's positively steam age, compared to what you can get now.

The first *awesome* technic set I had was a big red supercar with 4 wheel suspension. I'm looking on bricksets.com but it must not be a complete archive, there are loads of sets I remember that aren't there. And lego.com doesn't seem to have a bit for discontinued sets.

Its so dated now, didnt realise until i searched for that pic just then.

How about these then, from Toys R Us and FAO Schwarz in New York

The King Kong on the top of the Empire State Building actually moved from side to side

yeah, I had that one too. spent a good part of my childhood with Lego

 

[Lamp]

Right, thats it. I'm now officially on the market for some Lego. Technical, difficult to build, robotics, motors, electrics, lights, wireless connectivity, the works. The more complex the better. Any ideas?

I also had the JCB, which I modified to have pneumatics on the front loader and also I put the backhoe on a sliding rail so it could slide to either side. AWESOME.

 

[TdC]

I also had a pneumatic digger, but it wasn't a JCB. Are there others? Iirc it ran on track, not wheels.

Pretty

Pretty sure I had that car too.

 

[caLLous]

I dont know, I know they had tracked vehicles because I nicked the tracks from something to make a nifty little skid steer thing (with independent drive for left and right tracks). Couldn't tell you what I took the tracks from though.

I always really admire people making awesome original stuff from technics. When I tried that shit, I always failed or made the spacecraft from Space:1999. I really loved the Space:1999 spacecraft. Woo.

I got my lad that for christmas its totally mint.

you get touch sensors, light sensors, sound sensors and some groovy ones that can see colour, its programmable through usb/bluetooth straight from your laptop and its great fun to piss about with.

We're trying to build a robot that can detect that sound of his sister so we can program it to hunt her round the house and shoot her with its ball cannon thingy.

Yeah sounds great. I'm one more Jack Daniels away from ordering it. £50 cheaper on Amazon then the official Lego store.

Alcohol + Internet + credit card = ???

 

[TdC]

holy shit the prices 0o small wonder there is such a lively second hand market!

 

[Aoami]

Haha there really is something about Lego. I went round my Uncles house for Boxing Day last year and whilst all the women stood and gossiped in the kitchen there was about 7 blokes, all 20+ sat around with a beer playing with a lego truck that my uncle had bought his step son for christmas.

 

[Lamp]

Right, I think I've drank enough to order it now....
