'Technic' Legos would probably make for a better leg. Maybe even motorize the leg. But seriously, I imagine if Lego sees this they'll donate a few bricks to the cause.

Amazing.

Agreed the Technic 16x16 system would be even better!

Don't let the people at LEGO hear you call them "Legos" when I was there someone failed an interview for calling them that!

opps - there goes my career at lego

Interestingly enough, a google search of "legos" returned links to both lego.com and legos.com
http://www.google.com/#gs_rn=19&gs_ri=p ... 24&bih=601

both of course are Legos' links.

Anyway, I thought it would be a fun topic, the girl certainly had fun with it.


cheers

Legos... LOL. That is very American and very un-Lego; certainly not what one of us AFOLs would call it

I have just had to pack most of mine up into storage for a while (long story) and I just about squeezed it into 8 x 64 litre boxes!!! I think I might have a problem LOL

Agreed a fun topic, to think I thought my ankle aches a bit too much, I bet she wishes she has my problem!

If the career is a bust then I am sure you won't be too disappointed with not having to pay 45% tax, and 200% on a car...ouch! It is LEGO's link indeed, the evil Danish empire want to make sure you always end up at their site

Tonks, cool that you are an AFOL! Despite what many marketing people I now work with think, the major reason for LEGO's monumentual success of recent is from embracing the Adult Fans Of LEGO, oh that and they finally sorted out their shipping issues, ironic considering Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen is best friends with the owner of Maesrk..lol

umm, It do take more then one Lego to make up a leg - so that would be legos , right? or is it like fish.

Indeed like Fish and Sheep

The brand name came from the almagamtion of the Danish words "Leg" and "Godt" meaning to "Play Well" and is the foundation of what products they will design and develop. So they are actually LEGO bricks (or "elements"to use their interal terminology) not a 'Lego' which is where the US plurisation of them comes from.

Damn, do you think they brainwashed me? Must have been all those long winter nights in central Jutland with nothing to do!

Once they had sold their two Citation corporate jets it was time to leave for me! Lol, certainly made the weekly ride from Farnborough to Billund good fun

According to my Collins, the plural of fish can be fishes or fish. I'll take mine with chips.
