THE OFFICIAL LEGO THREAD
I just recently pulled out all my old lego and realized how much freaking fun it is. So then when I went to San Diego I bought a $150 set at legoland. I opened it up today and after like an hour of searching for pieces I learned how terribly bad time has made me at lego building. But I promised myself I'd finish this set.
Someone talk to me about lego. I'm in the mood.

Congrats on finishing the set Stefan!
Also, how many kids in grade 7 make stop motion animation? That's so cool. I would have loved to have done stuff like that as a child. Apparently that was how Aardman Animation in England got started. (Not with lego animation, just regular stop motion with a film camera).
Stefan said:Totally agree. When I was little I used to buy all the star wars sets and combine them into a giant spacecraft. In middle school I would use my digital camera to make short stop motion clips from lego. That's what really exercised my imagination, thinking of movements and stuff for the lego minifigures. This was one I made when I was in grade 7, I think.
And you're right about the modern kits being really sophisticated. This was my favourite thing that I owned when I was 6 or 7. http://ak.buy.com/PI/0/500/200778414.jpgFor some reason my crappy laptop doesn't let me post photos on here.

Thanks Danielle!
I love stop motion. I want to have a job in the film business want I get older, so I've been doing stop motion and simple film stuff ever since my family got a mac when I was 11 or 12.
I looked up Aardman Animation and realized I've seen most of those movies. Cool!

Yes, lego sets can be pricey, especially the advanced ones. The cool thing is that once a set is no longer made, it can go up in value, and collectors can turn a profit it they want to. Even rare used sets can be sold for more than the original price if the demand is big enough. So if Stefan was smart enough to keep his box and takes good care of the set, he could actually make some money from it when the set is retired and hard to find.
