LEGO not just mere bricks, LEGO ROCKS!

I so agree. Been in a pre mid life crisis of late so am looking to get back into old toys and hobbies i had as a kid - it was either gundams or lego. To my horror, Lego's seem to have both increased in price and became more 'kit' like. The Lego i remember were made up of very basic pieces, the single row thick block of varying lengths (1x, 2x 4x, 6x), the thin ones (1/3 the height of the thick blocks), standard wheel sets, men etc etc. All interchangeable. Nowadays i see specialised blocks more often than not and the remind me more of the old duplo and megablock.

I still have some leftover creations i made as a kid... will try photograph these next time i'm back home. Most were road vehicles, sorta inspired by zoids and micro machines, definitely influenced by Mad Max , all built on the basic 2 x 2 wheel base, so only about 2x4 blocks in size.

Some Legoes I dug up after digging. I was surprise that these still have the box and have most of the pieces!!


The price those days. Hankyu Jaya and Yaohan is no more now So cheap somemore!

6358 has 151 pieces, which makes out to be around RM 0.19 per piece.
My crawler crane 7632 has 481 pieces and cost RM 269.90, which makes it around RM 0.56 per piece!!!
Lego Basic 715 has 395 pieces and cost RM 70.00, which makes it around RM 0.18 per piece!

Wow... still complete with kotaks. How u manage to simpan them for so long? Your wife din toss it out as rubbish ar?

I remember I wanted to buy that fire engine set last time, but I dared not ask my mum for it.

Those days, we could do window shopping for LEGO in almost any supermarkets.

I still single-lah No wife or gf yet, so can spend money on toys

Well somehow this 3 sets managed to be stored in some kotak in the storeroom and never mix up with all the other pieces, hence still like new.

Last time I wanted the Lego Launch & Support Seaport with crane, container ship etc but that time it was too expensive

Interesting to note that Lego has now tripled or more in price compared to last time.

Added on February 8, 2009, 1:02 amI decided to construct my vintage airport set today. I would say almost complete, but need some parts from other sets to make do with. Some key components are missing so if it look out of place, then there is something missing (or I tambah )

The interior of the airport. Policeman manning X-ray machine next to center waiting area and counter area. Upstairs got a lounge with a table and 2 seats and the control tower (1 glass is missing, have to make do)


Outside the passengers walk to the airplane. Some ppl looking at airplane behind the fence. Also the luggage is loaded onto the baggage cart.


Time to board the airplane. The pilot greets the passengers while someone loads the luggage. Since there is no steps or ramp so need to climb into the cabin


The layout inside the aircraft


Once everything is ready, it's time to go!! The engine is at the bottom since I only have 1 jet engine!


As the plane takes off, the luggage cart heads back to the airport. The take-off is also observed by a helicopter pilot who just arrived

Wow, I'm so glad that Lego fans is still alive and kicking. I guess I'll post some of my picture too. Here's my Millennium Falcon though not yet fixed it.

anyone knows where to find lego star wars keychain?

Where and how much you bought it? This is like the ultimate Lego set out available.

Take your time building it, I heard it takes a very very long time to build 5000+ pieces

I bought it at Brickboytoys in Gardens for RM2899...Yes indeed it take a very long time to build it approx. 16 hours or so.

wow you really bought the set in Gardens. When I saw the price on that thing I wonder who will buy it

So far I see brickboy got some Legoes which cannot be found elsewhere and also the new 2009 Legoes. But I feel the best is the table (with water!!) with all the build-up Legos for you to see

Hey guys, I have some hard to find items for sale as I'm running out of space to store it. Check it out at
