I really like the Technic stuff as well. Would like to get more of those sorts of pieces. On the Lego site you can order individual parts. Some are an alright deal.
I have a bunch of Lego from my childhood and my kid has a bunch too. Snagged some cool sets from thrift stores as well. The biggest one was a ship from Last Airbender.

This just blew my mind, because I just checked it out. Everything so far is like, 0.15 a piece, which is really cool! That's so damn convenient if you come up with an idea and know what you'd need! LEGO is winning back my heart, three decades later.

I believe we still have a box of legos. It was mostly odd's and ends from the early days. I had a fire fighter boat and maybe an airport. The bulk I have no idea what it came from. I think the early days you could just buy bulk lego parts. They didn't have the sets as much.
I also had a battery and some lights, I do remember that.
Lego's and sandbox was 'my thing'.

Since thinking about LEGOs now I feel like I remember reading about how bootleg LEGOs are a real big problem, like lego sets a record for one of the most counterfeit things out there. There’s something else about them too... I feel like I read an ‘Interesting thing about legos’ coffee table book somewhere in my past.
Is this ringing a bell with anyone else?

IIRC their patent ran out so bootleg Legos is just kind of a thing. You can buy knockoffs for a fraction of the price that are identical . I buy the actual Lego anyway though

You don't have to scroll past them? I have to click my mouse wheel and send it on a journey south to get past them. Jesus.
I dunno i've never messed with any settings but those things are fucking ridiculously big for some reason.

Yah I'm not sure what happened to the Lego's but Mom must have given them away or sold them. I wouldn't play with them anyway. It's too childish.

Maybe that’s it.. there’s something going on with them that I can’t quite remember.
As far as a gig goes that’s got to be awesome because there’s only so many forms of the blocks so you could slam out a ton for cheap and if I remember correctly the kits sell for pretty high dollar. I should start my own lego company and make more specialized kits.. I can’t think of what yet, a giant shroom or something.

How original.

IME any Lego knockoff type stuff like Mega Blox is just nowhere near the level of quality. If bootleggers can make a convincing fake then more power to them.

I’m open to suggestions

Yeah that doesn’t surprise me, they bootleg everything over there. Every now and then you can find a counterfeit that’s better than the original but more often than not it’s wack..

Ye you ever step on a mega blox? Totally forgettable. It's got some nerve even calling itself a block.
