*silently waiting*

im 19 now. studying engineering in monash university sunway (2nd year).
i got my 1st set of lego for my bday when i was in standard 2 (8 yrs old). it was a 1996 set. 8230 - Police buggy - miami police patrol.
For a long long time, i only had 1 set to play with. Of course I started out with the instructions given in the book. But after that, I got creative and started making many other things out of it. Helicopters, motorbikes, robots, guns, and even those "fly chaser" thing that u see in pasar malam (long story).
Anyway, it was almost 7 years later until I finally gotten my 2nd LEGO set - The LEGO Mindstorms Robotics Invention System 1.5 when I am in form 3. Note: I got this set 2nd hand from eBay UK (My sister had to carry it back for me as a birthday present I requested). =D
So now I only have 2 lego sets and I've made no less than 100 different models out of it over the years.

So...how did it benefit me?

1. It enhances and encourages creativity and innovative thinking
2. It helped me understand simple mechanics - gears, levers, pulleys, etc.
3. It served as a healthy past time
4. Helped me decide to study engineering (Mechatronics major)
5. Create a topic among friends and colleagues. (Im known as the Lego boy). haha.
6. Encouraged my interest to participate in the National Robotics Competition (when i was in form 4)
7. Helped me in my university projects
8. and many more...

Anyway, It's so nice to see more and more parents nowadays are seeing these toys as educational stuff for their kids. My parents aren't really those who would spend so much on Lego for me (in fact, they never bought me one b4 ...) But they did not stop me from playing though. Hehe.
Nowadays they have robotics classes as extracurricular activities in primary and secondary schools. My nephew is in one. It's really good as kids are given the opportunity to be exposed to such things at such young age. How I wish i could've had the chance. It would be very nice to represent the school and join competitions at school/ district/ state/ national or even international levels.

IMO, Lego presents alot of opportunity for young kids to explore their creativity and create new things. Since I have 2 nephews that's quite close to me, I must say that video games are still the biggest interests of kids their age (8 and 6). However, with proper nurturing and guidance in the correct direction, I think LEGO can still pwn Nintendo Wii, Playstation 3 and Astro. Hahha. GOod luck! =D

P.S. Lego technic sets are really nice toys. Do get them one if they are interested...1 set can go great lengths to shift a child's future (like me).

@General specific: Really?? omg! haha. but u graduated already rite?
I'm only in my 2nd year 1st sem. haha.
The traffic buster thing looks kinda cool. but i wud think tat it wud need alot of motors since transmission is a prob. =p
too bad i dont have the sets to make anything tat uses more than 1 motor. haha. 1 of my motor spoiled =p

@ra2zy: ebay. lol.
but if u wan the key chain version u can go lego stores... they got sell them XD

Lego became like an exclusive, high end toy already... Comparing a new adequately big Lego set and a gaming console, most kids nowadays will go for game consoles. Sigh...
Anyone had any idea why lego is so expensive? Shudn't manufacturing costs be lowered as technology increases and while oil price isn't that high?

wah...i wan the 599....
long long long time no new lego edi =(
can't afford

arggh... got poisoned by ar188 X_X

btw, r u guys all working edi? coz its either tat case or everyone here is so rich ><"
how many % of u guys punya income go to lego wor?
