There is literally nothing to play

Cheer up! MGS Delta soon!

>>718319357
"soon" is doing a lot of heavy lifting there, anon. Konami’s been drip-feeding info like it's 2005 and we're still buying game mags for updates. Wake me up when they show more than 10 seconds of gameplay that isn’t Snake crouch-walking.

silent hill f and FF tactics next month at least but yeah nothing really to play right at this moment

>>718319329 (OP)
Roshibros…how do we even compete…

>>718319329 (OP)
HOLY FUCKING NOSTALGIA
TAKE ME BACK
AAAAAAAAAA

>>718319329 (OP)
I haven't really played any vidya since i got a job desu. I just get high and walk around gmod maps in vr

Does Lego even have original themes outside of City and Ninjago anymore?

They used to have so many themes and sub-themes. Loved the Aqua Zone and Wild West, along with Rock Raiders.

>>718319329 (OP)
Learn to draw. It's fun and like a video game. Trust me.

>>718321003
I loved the life on mars stuff

>>718321003
Normalfags love the licensed shit more and women love the birds and flowers shit. It's over for original themes.

>>718319357
But we can already play MGS3.

>>718319357
You can play that game today

>>718321267
Still waiting for that Alpha Team remake...

Learn to code and make your own furry porn game or website. Seriously, what the fuck is wrong with you people

>>718321003
everything they put out is bloated now. bloated visually, bloated in piece count, bloated in price. no originality, every set either some licensed tv/movie crap for zoomers or $500 shelf queens for bearded soifaces. it's never been more over for lego, not even the jack stone era was this bad

>>718321803
How

>>718321267
Does the game hold up?

>>718321267

This is solved when you have a job. I barely have vidya time so it takes me a while to beat anything.

I am still working on bananza and I just bought dragon ball and dead rising remastered for $20 each so I got plenty to play.

can you imagine how much better the lego friends sets would be if they didn't have those god awful lego dolls?

>>718319357
I played that to death 20 years ago

What was you Lego white whale? Examples being Fort Legoredo (6769) or the Black Seas Barracuda (6285/10040)

Here's a catalog too.

>a lego set from the 90's has more content than any modern AAAA game
holy FUUUUUUUUUUUAAAAAAAAAAARK it's over

I had forgotten just how soulless the vehicles were in that period.

>hmm, I wonder what lego is up to these days

Holy fucking shit.

Are you meming?

The little fins turned into these aquatic vehicles that one lego guy could use.

>>718334089
Their LOTR sets are pretty good but they're so big its hard to keep them

>>718334447
I remember in my early teens I would watch videos of people making battlebots with the mindstorms stuff
good times

A LEGO games based on the 2009 Space Police theme would have been pretty sweet.

>>718331939
>always saw the LEGO Vikings commercials on TV when watching cartoons
>always thought the dragon was badass compared to anything else LEGO I saw at the time
>never saw any of the sets in stores

It was as if I was being mocked.

>>718334089
New LEGO still puts out good sets, but aside from Bionicle being gutted from the company, something just kinda feels missing when you walk into a LEGO store.

>>718334612
Space Police and Power Miners were wonderful. For me, it's this guy.

>>718331939
For me, it was this specific white exo-force mech. Only ever got the orange enemy vehicles.

There's this guy who makes the craziest space ships, shares the build instructions too.

>>718334848
This one is dope, but I only ever got Uplink and the larger one with the red plating.

play lego island

>>718334848
The hair pieces from these sets were sick

>>718336408
i think it was a wavy clear plastic with blue underneath
80's - 2003 lego product images are a lost art

>Go to use my old Legos for the first time in a while
>Notice some of the grey ones are discolored and slightly yellow
>One of the plates I try to separate from another piece just snaps with fairly little force
I think UV has fucked up my Lego collection. I knew I shouldn't have stored it in a clear plastic container.

>>718319329 (OP)
That slut is getting pounded tonight for sure.

Does anyone have experience with "Lego compatible" sets you might find on Amazon? Want to get my nephew a new set but I'd like to save some money

>>718331939
>https://archive.org/details/Lego1998JanuaryUSShopAtHome/page/n11/mode/2up
When did it all go wrong? Fuck.

>>718336738
greys and yellows can discolour over time, sometimes with no rhyme or reason
the plates snapping seems to happen with really old parts, i had one vintage plate snap a little on the end, it's still usable but i'll be extra careful now

>>718335719
I always remember how much I wanted the one with the skeleton hidden in a door and the blue mage
I'll never forget it

>>718334089
>$500 set
>bland architecture nu colors and flimsy chinese made plates that anything bigger than 2x6 cracks
>OG colors arent as vibrant and dont even match older bricks

>>718337227
too many large specialized pieces and colours than they could afford, and multiple years of themes that were just money sinks
when they were good they were really good, but it was also the time where pirates, the formerly best selling lego theme of it's era, crashed and burned after a few years of bad, low performing sets

>>718336170
Man I wish I had gotten a pirate set that's awesome.

>>718334207
>tfw got barracuda bay during covid
maximum comfy, i wasn't born when the first lego pirates were out but i can see why they're so beloved

>>718319329 (OP)
I suggest “The Operative: No One Lives Forever”

>>718337089
4/5 sets I buy today are cheap chink knockoffs that are surprisingly good quality, some almost match actual current-day lego, and I never had sny problems with compatibility
Also there are some ABSOLUTE FUCKING BASED sets. I took picrel when I was in China, it was at display at a toy store for everyone to see kek. I was so sad that I couldn't bring it with as it was massive and wouldn't fit my case
I love chinks

>>718337089
Cobi is good if he likes military, price tends to be similar to Lego though.
The chink brands are very hit and miss from what I hear, I've bought Cada before from a reseller (not amazon) and it was fine, just shy of Lego quality. Was missing a piece though. /toy/ has a clone bricks general and reddit has a "lepin" sub that has some useful info

>>718334207
my way older cousin had one, i only ever saw it on a window sill out of reach. if he ever played with it ill never know.

Holy shit lol

>>718331939
like most of the builds in idea books, specifically this 697 one with the stickers
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5AF4Hbf0KE
and 4007 cool cars

OG system space port that had a full display at the store with like 5 different sets

the old ferrari/shell station car wash and gas stations

the green and orange BNSF freight engine

anniversary classic town

OG vibrant primary color Model team stuff
the rally vans and semi trucks/helicopter

the spielberg movie set that was on display at the lego store in MOA with a full city setup with extra streets and buildings and little road signs

I kinda lost interest right around the time system became "City" thats kinda when puberty hit and the mostly asian classmates at gave me a different obsession with yellow people

>>718337089
youre not saving as much as you used to
the modern chink stuff is as sturdy modern corner cutting lego (2x12 and 1x8s dont snap in half like old mega blocks) and system compatible unlike the older patent avoiding chinese stuff like best-lock that was sold in stores in the states

>>718336738
older whites and greys just yellowed
late 90s less so

Based mecha enjoyers, this is one of my favorites

What were the sets that, at the time, felt like adult LEGO? I think they were Technic, but it had two lego dudes that weren't your conventional lego. They were taller, and more articulate, and they had large mechs that they could pilot which would shoot out these round, rubber tipped dart things.

Oh damn that's rad. Dude's a fucking scrub for not using maxxed out green bricks, though.

Are Bioniclebros welcome in here?

>>718322963
Sad but true. The Lego of today is completely incompatible with the Lego of 90's and 80's. They still snap together, but the souls don't fit.

There’s something about the vintage starwars sets that have soul idk what it is.

>>718344280
Pohatu and Onua always looked dumb to me.

Did burgers get this? Bongoloid here and this shit was great

>>718344251
His first race has the max green bricks.

>>718344876
It has more visible nubs. Modern sets try to hide them all.

>>718319329 (OP)
I completely forgot you could create your own set on their old website, buy it, and they'll send it to you.

>>718344916
Onua I thought was cool with the mask design and big claws
But Pohatu looked lame and nobody wanted the brown bonkles

>>718344920
Yes and I still don't have enough greenery to appease the inspector.

>>718344876
it's because it's lego in the shape of star wars
nowadays it's star wars in the shape of lego
if that makes any sense

>>718344876
The yellow skin that makes them look like they belong in the Lego world, and how they didn't make so many new molds. It makes them look like they are Lego sets first, Star Wars models second instead of the reversal in the newer builds.

>>718344760
What?

>>718344920
>friend spams hire while playing on his family's living room computer
>his mom laughs her ass off at the long line of workers walking into view
good times

>>718345058
They really should have thought of a way to give Onua a neck, he'd be top tier.

>>718345058
I liked the brown one.
His soccer action was neat.

>>718344017
this perhaps invokes most nostalgia for me. i remember this was the first "big" system set that came out and it felt like if i would own it i would be an adult. you know? like this IS the real deal and it will never be larger

If you havent put together a Lego set or a Gunpla in a while, you should try it.
Its a very zen like experience to create something with your hands even if it has instructions.

>>718345038
Honestly that could be a big part of it. Obviously there are other components like the silhouette being more blocky or rough than newer releases. And less pieces in general and more large parts not as many tiny ones.


but yeah there is just something about it I even find the old boxes comfy not just for Lego starwars but lots of other late 90s early 2000s toys. They were just creative while usually still being aesthetically pleasing. I unironically may buy a few old retro starwars sets used or something.


One I always wanted despite how simple it looks is one of the old Lego tie fighters which I always saw in the toy section as a kid back then

>>718344920
Amerilard here. My first retail LEGO game would be The Complete Saga. The flash games on the official website were fun as hell too, though.

>>718344280
I remember going into Toys r Us once as a treat and being allowed to pick out 2 toys I wanted shortly after Bionicle kicked off
I still remember picking out Tahu and Lewa almost immediately

>>718345058
neat idea with having his torso flipped from the others but he looks weird next to them
his weapon being foot attachments is also less cool than the other toa

>>718345058
Pohatu’s mask looks cool. It’s a gas mask with two thingies on it.

>>718345256
this was better imo, had the older lego models and cooler minikits.

>>718344280
I only had Lewa because we were dirt poor.
The Flash game was fucking rad though, I spent hours on that thing with my friend Mick trying to find out where to go and how help Pohatu's village. I think they also made a sequel flash game that takes place after the sphere dudes or so e shit and it had a mini rock football game thing for every town.

>>718345384
!

>>718345393
i stand by that mnog was one of the biggest reasons why bionicle exploded in popularity
it was such a kino experience
it's a shame mnog 2 is such a buggy mess, although from what i understand the story is a lot less interesting as well

>>718331939
Model Team. Pure sex.

>>718345250
Old sets were them trying to make real life things from lego pieces. The modern ones try to make Lego pieces look like real life things.

When I was a kid I found a Vahi on the school bus. It had a line on it where someone had clearly stepped on one of the side pieces and bent it back into shape. I honestly don't know how you were supposed to get one

>>718345734
you know that part of the story where they collect all the masks?
the lids are where they put the masks in the story, called a suva
there are axle holes to put the extra heads that came with the mask packs in

>>718346176
Lego manufactured them in limited amounts and hired people to drop them in random places around the world like on the side of roads they used a helicopter sometimes to just randomly hide them out in nature. You could not buy them. they would give the Lego employees a bag and instruct them to just toss them outside the window as they drove around as rare RNG drops.

>>718346176

So much shit in such a small set. It was my favorite.
and then I took all my sets apart to build my own sets, I build this big tree city with tiny huts in them and had entire storylines and it culminated in the tree transforming into a giant mech to beat the k'nex mech

>>718346009
Lego was a much higher quality than megabloks in the late 90s and early 2000s. But by the mid 2000s megabloks started improving their quality dramatically. Megabloks for their massive flaws in quality made up for it sometimes with how creative or ambitious some of their lines were. They were the wildcard building block line. unfortunately a lot of the earliest megabloks shit that looked cool you would unironically need to glue or something sometimes but I always got the impression that it was a company made by guys who just wanted to make cool shit despite not having the skill or expertise to properly do so. I still am a large fan of the megabloks dragons line. They also had some cool stuff off the top of my head like magwarriors, magnetic buildable fantasy knights, and gyrofighters or whatever the fuck they were called where they were bionicle looking things that had bootleg beyblade weapons. They also had some cool line I never bought with mechs. Like a giant neon green spider mech with missles and shit on it.

>>718346604
there's a newish one in regular transparent orange, but it's not the same
it came with one of the collectible minifigures lego does, an extreme conditions ice planet explorer at that
iirc according to the designer it's the daughter of the female ice planet astronaut

>>718334207
I got it, built it 3 times over the years, my mother kept all the box covers.
The strings have frayed
and I need to find suitable replacements.

galidor is based if only because you can make abominations like that with it

>>718346889
mega had moved into the pirate niche when i was a kid and i thought they were the coolest shit
ghost pirates, skeleton pirates, regular pirates
good shit, i never had any of the big sets but my cousin had one of the ships which was baller

>>718346909
Neat.

>>718346889
I used to have a bunch of their alien agency sets, shit was cool as fuck.

>>718346889
I guess it was megabloks set 9527. just looked cool. Also while trying to find it I found some funny shit like set 1927 which is a fucking mech piloted by venom from Spider-Man with a fucking chain gun on one arm lmao. kino it makes no sense at all but as I said before I feel like megabloks was just a bunch of dudebros trying to make the sickest shit they could think of

>>718343919
Damn, this is even better than running it on a virt.

>>718346713
I liked the LEGO.com Galidor game and bought one of the figures because of it.
I had no idea they made a show of it. Reminded me of that old laser tag sci-fi show, the one Vinny watched an episode of a while back while combing through old vidya ads.

>>718321267
Why the fuck did lego have so many mining sets holy shit lol space mining, underwater mining, two different cave mining series iirc

>>718346981
I like how this is an intentional feature of the system

>>718346232
holy shit the memories...

>>718338362

>>718347238
I mean this I n the non meme sense, what the fuck were they thinking? It looked like shit, didn't look like Lego, played like shit, and the show was also trash. It had no redeeming features.

>>718347342
I don’t doubt it but I still respect the crazy sometimes retarded shit they tried to make. honestly I may buy a few of their older sets I never had and just glue them together. if Lego can glue their sets together they had in stores displayed for people to look at behind glass I don’t see the problem in gluing together vintage megabloks shit like some kind of model kit from a more civilized time. I wouldn’t be taking it apart anyway.

>>718347596
We want the dead space audience (they had a divine vision from the future)

>>718347415
I had that one as well because I was also poor, I was mostly just sad that you couldn't really build anything else out of it. I put a rocket launcher on his back but that was it.

>>718347732

>>718347596
From what I understand Bionicle and Galidor were designed around the same time, this is when Lego was in the shitter financially too so they were trying whatever they could

I imagine they were thinking of the possiblities of buildable action figures and obviously Bionicle was approved but then somebody who'd been dropping acid approved Galidor and for it to be a giant cross-media thing

>>718346154

Agreed. This is the last thing Lego released that I think looks cool and (mostly) fits in with the old series. Too bad they're impossible to get at a sane price now.

Oh hell yeah.

>>718347604
my mom tried to super glue the blue one in pic related, just made the plates under neath snap
the purple one was flimsy laterally

bought a 500 piece jigsaw puzzle for 47 cents. it's got a picture on it but no color, so it came with colored pencils
figuring out the border now

People here dare speak ill of the Kek Powerizer?

It's a flash game from 24 years ago and it's STILL one of the most unique things I've seen going by that single aspect alone, I don't think any story has ever scratched that itch again.

>>718347224
Lego lets you build things. You don't always want to UNbuild things, at least not right away; you're a kid and want to show that shit off- but if you've got some little miner dudes with drills and Quakeguy helmets, you have a perfect reason to unbuild things AND expand your overall playtime and little world you've made. Mining themes are right up there with transportation themes as 'single sets that greatly expand what you can do.' Think about reading the catalogs as a kid, what was your dream setup? If you were a specific type of future autist, it was probably whatever mining series was current, smoothly flowing into pre-City trains (especially the Metroliner, oh how many hours I drooled over that) to transport all the ores and gems, and then transporting it to a Space theme. Brilliant.

>>718349156
I wish they'd do a space train. That monorail doesn't count.

>>718345056
you can still do that today with stud.io and bricklink orders and it's probably way cheaper on top of being able to use old elements

>>718347992
lego was already in a rough spot at the time due to what they were trying (and more often than not) failing to do in the 90's, galidor was just the apex of their issues

>>718348878
you just need like cross plates so it stays stable
this pic and the original giant NASCAR one was the worse, the nascar would fall apart under its own weight even the giant roof acting like kind of a brace and the tow truck would constantly have wheels just spin off their axle

>>718334623
I got this one for my 10th birthday

>>718348050
lego had been trying to make an action figure esque technic line for a couple years by the time of bionicle, with slizers and robo racers
i think bionicle was their last attempt and had the most money thrown at it, which is why 2001 had all these other bonuses the prior to didn't have, like the mc donalds toys, the cd's, the cancelled video game, mask packs, etc

>>718334848
I had that mech. Lost most of the parts due to shitty family members in a move, but still have the minifig and the light brick. It was exactly as cool as you imagine it to be.

>>718335038
>using the helmets from those shitty hockey guys as mecha shoulders
fucking incredible

>>718349295
Boncles printed them money, but it made them think kids didn't want brick anymore so they went full action figure.

>>718349220
It's cheaper but still expensive as shit.

Why the FUCK haven't they made Ankha and Raymond Animal Crossing figures yet? Do they hate money?

>>718349517
bionicle, star wars, and harry potter were the big three that got lego through the bankruptcy scare
apparently some oldfags at lego had issues with bionicle since it wasn't 'real' lego, idk what they were thinking with galidor or if that opinion really only started appearing in the later 00's

>>718349768
Moreso Bionicle, those licenses for Harry Potter and especially Star Wars were expensive as shit

>>718345849
Had some of these in my primary school's classroom. They were so dogshit it wasn't even funny. Could not build a wall with how poorly the bricks clicked together, let alone a house.

>>718349913
Cool

>>718336738
UV absolutely does fuck Lego but part of what you might be seeing is actual color difference, the old light and dark grey colors were warmer and a little yellow or rustic colored, while the new ones are more of a flat light grey and a VERY obviously cool-tinted dark grey (leading to people calling the new greys blue-grey, or bley, as in 'dark bley looks like Mega Blox, i hate it').

>>718349882
probably, but they made lego enough money for them to be worth it
i know hp in particular was pretty crazy in it's initial years, lots of interesting colours and parts, i'm pretty sure some of the designers were fans of the books since they often had details that weren't in the movies

>>718347596
This was conceptualized before Star Wars lego (people forget it, but they only started relying heavily on franchise sets during the prequels era). The company legitimately belived that they could ditch the entire building blocks things forever with the way they were selling

>>718346009
Mega Bloks gave me a 2x2 plate with studs on both sides. Lego still hasn't done that and the old methods (o-clips turned sideways) don't even work anymore since they changed the ring width.

>>718346535

The new arctic train gives me the vibes.

>>718350852
OpenRCT is a thing and can play the original scenarios.

>>718350575
To me the problem with Nexo was that it had too many vehicle sets and not enough sets that were just places to ground them with. Wave 2 tried to correct this but by then it was too late.

>>718351394
Yes, I'm aware. I just reinstalled OpenRCT2 last week and it's already taking over my life again. Send help.

RIP plane dude, I dedicate my Red Baron set to thee.

Schizo theory: Lego rock raiders was propaganda to encourage people to become coal miners this was a joint operation between LEGO and big coal. As coal fell out of favor the line was cancelled, but they brought it back as power miners for a similar psyop where Lego agreed to create propaganda for big DIAMOND. Once we reach space and start mining on asteroids and other planets you can expect the next iteration of Lego rock raiders. The real question here is who does big coal and big diamond work for?

>>718354468
My friend in school brought some of those sets to a show and tell presentation and I was super jealous. I never had any but I remember liking the level theme in Lego racers 2 on PC. I was a bionicle fan and I couldn’t ask my parents to buy me Lego starwars bionicle AND Lego mars. It would have been too far. Kek.

>>718354468
Life on Mars or Mars Mission? I got a bunch of the former on brick link a couple of years ago, the mechs are rad, and I had a bunch of the latter when I was a kid. I remember my dad coming home with the big-ass astronaut base randomly. I love the tubes in both themes.

>>718354025
Oh shit I had this set I loved it

>>718354509
Man this set brings me back every time I see it. My dad took me with him to work sometimes and halfway during his commute we went to a Walmart where he bought me this. I remember sitting in his office putting it together (also being a retard and not finding a piece for 20 minutes thinking it wasn’t in the box) but eventually found it. was a good day. the late 90s and early. 2000s was an amazing time to be a starwars fan of you were growing up. Lego starwars came out not long after this. Then we got KOTOR SWBF1/2 REPUBLIC COMMANDO and all the cool figures and toys and games based on episodes 1 2 and 3 it was like a Star Wars renaissance. One of my earliest games I played and my first FPS was starwars shadows of the empire on the n64. My dad showed me the original trilogy on vhs and the timing was perfect because not long after this is when episode 1 debuted. Instead of having to wait like 10 or 20 years between 4 5 and 6 to see episode 1 I got to grow up with 4 5 and 6, got to experience some of the extended universe content, and then like 3 years later the prequels started up. I’m really grateful for those times growing up but unfortunately it spoiled me because I thought starwars would surely keep pumping out kino for the rest of my life and by the mid 2010s it was OVER.

>>718354273
I looked it up and you're actually not wrong, that motherfucker made like 30 goddamn sets including the mini Tomcat.

i can kinda see why it was in comparison to legos earlier space stuff but it feels weird knowing your childhood was bargain bin recession stuff

>>718355406
I was going to say it was an inferior mini remake of the alternate in pic related, but I was hallucinating an f14 I made mixing this with another entirely different set

reminder that physical play with toys is an essential part of childhood development and has largely been killed off in recent years

>>718358794
It's sad. Toys really suck now, they're all overpriced, small, and based on some movie or video game.
At least board games have gotten really good. I loved games when I was a kid, and modern gaming mogs what I had growing up.

>>718356091
He was really really cool, I think of him every day. died a year ago. he got filtered unfortunately by the sewer level in shadows of the empire but frankly I’m surprised he made it that far.he was more of a DOOM or HERETIC PC guy, I don’t think he had ever played a game with the ability to look up and down before that. It was probably revolutionary for him. Years later when we played halo I had to teach him how dual analog stick controls worked. Interestingly he insisted on inverted controls. we got through halo 1 and 2 and never got to halo 3 before he passed. We played those during covid. then after Covid I got busy with work and I feel bad we never completed the trilogy because he said he wanted to. Bugs me any time I think of halo now.


During the late 90s he bought me a n64 and starfox, then later bought me shadows of the empire when I saw it at target. but he took the console with him and kept it in our den/game room for a week because he would try to play it and progress after getting home from work. I think it’s hella funny in retrospect because obviously he was impressed enough with MY new game that he bought for ME that it became his new game for a week and I didn’t get to play it almost at all initially. he was probably like 35ish or something at the time and knowing people around that age on here or friends of mine I can completely picture someone at 33-35 reacting this way to a game when they’re still “young” especially it being a “fully 3d game”.

My favourite set.

>>718358794
This is probably a large part of the reason why so many kids are autistic or have other mental impairments these days.

>>718359915
>>718358794
Let’s be honest here I think a giant percentage of autistic adults (not shitting on them I have friends that are autistic and are mechanical engineers or software engineers) grew up obsessed with building toys. Something about the autistic mind craves the ability to build with blocks. (I’m probably on the spectrum too)

If you want to know how deep the rabbit hole goes I have even found studies that there are more autistic children born in cities with tech jobs. Probably because autistic adults live there to do their jobs that require autism and they end up having autistic kids who (to be relevant to the topic) NEED legos.

>>718344730
>>718354509
I love that original Star Wars logo, the sets today just lost all the magic. Doesn't help that I'm old either, I suppose.

But I actually do enjoy the Lego art pieces, or whatever you'd call these, they make nice displays.

>>718360491
And going back to star wars, the helmets are fun to build and also look nice sitting out in a display.

>>718359915
it absolutely is
im a kinesiology undergrad and part of the course involves childhood development and working with special needs kids

basically brain development and kinetic/motor skills development are very interlinked and build off of each other
imagination and creativity is a skill which a child learns through play by manipulating(fine motor/tactile hand skills) their perceived environment(perceptive skills) to fit their imagination(mental skills) it basically links every fundamental basic skill together that a child learns
>>718360134
id counter that its due to arrested development
non autistic (healthy) adults also have creative outlets as well, think of every hobby that requires tinkering, or sport that requires gross motor skills
the change is that their creative expression is no longer an abstract concept from their head but the adult mentally "building" off of their environment

play is also essential as a social enabler which leads into developing social skills (sharing, empathy, learning facial cues), ipads also cause this to be fucked up

basically the #science says play with your fucking kids and don't give them drugs

>>718360134
I was a little off when I responded to him about autism. I think the lack of physical activity contributes to higher autism rates, which falls in line with cities with tech jobs having higher autism rates. Children need to use their whole body to properly develop their brain, things like running, jumping, climbing, and playing with objects they can pick up with their hands are all crucial for a child’s development. Sitting them down at a desk in a school for 8 hours a day and then sitting them down in front of a screen for the rest of their waking hours should be considered child abuse the same way giving a kid alcohol or weed is.

>>718360610
The facial cues thing is pretty interesting. I wonder if that’s related to “the zoomer stare.”

>>718331939
Aquanauts base. I had it but my brother put the knives and harpoons in the conveyor belt. Had to take that section apart to get them out. And because I was a dumb kid, keyword being dumb, I had already thrown away the instruction book and couldn't figure it out on my own.

>>718348284
I had something from this line (it is Mega Bloks right?) it was like a grey/silver/black go kart. I never even bothered putting the whole thing together. Mega Bloks sucked ass for that reason- the pieces never fit nicely together.

>>718363639
IIRC Lego didn't even have skateboard pieces yet. Soon after getting that set I remember a fan submitted build in LEGO Magazine showing how to make a LEGO skateboard with a 2x4 plate and these wheels.

I used to think that they were bigger and shaped differently as some sort of safety thing because lego friends was made for younger kids and i was also pretty sure that the bricks used in the sets are usually mostly the bigger ones
but Im not sure

>>718329793
not much better, they don't even have mostly printed parts anymore

>>718362505
This is cool but it really needs a Spider-Man figure or something.

>>718319357
I'm not paying that price for it.

I always wanted the destiny's bounty as a kid.... then as an adult I wanted the legacy but now what I really want is a bunch of pieces so I could build this MOC of the Bounty
It looks so cool...

>>718341708
I found what I was looking for. I was right, they were part of the Technic line, the CyberSlam/Competition theme. The characters seemed like a more teen/adult feeling lego than the other sets.

>>718337227
I remember my parents getting me a majority of these. They were a promotion right?

>>718344280
Do these go for a good price? I have like the first 6 sets. All complete and still in their tubs. Might not have the manual, can't remember

Because we live in clown world you can probably get over 100.00 for them maybe even like 150.00 it just depends go look on eBay and do your own research. It’s insane that everythinf from 20 years ago is expensive now. I don’t even think it’s because it’s getting “retro” I think it’s partially because people are realizing the majority of new shit from the last decade is fucking boring and a lot of older shit was simply cooler so now both old and younger people are scooping everythinf up. Applies to videogames also like people paying 100.00 for shit you could have gotten for 5.00 at GameStop in 2012.

i love it when generally unrelated lego themes have some loose connection to them, like how the space and castle themes related to each other, ex. space police and blacktron, the various castle factions at war with each other
that sort of thing

>>718319329 (OP)
I have this set. It's mixed into the pieces of hundreds of other sets in big bins. Should I try to put it together?

For shame, anon. The Holy Trinity of 90s LEGO was Adventurers, Rock Raiders and Auqazone

>>718358794
The problem is that toys are now detailed but brittle and designed to just stand on the shelf. Even LEGO is not kid-proof anymore due to sets being too detailed and not designed for *rougher) play of smashing it into pieces to put it back together in 15 minutes.

High quality bread. Pic related was my pride and joy as a kid, having the big ship pieces made so many things possible.

I had the entire series, both these guys (they only had that set) and the red/black robots. Only time I completed and Lego series.

>>718370017
Pretty much. Everything has been taken to the extreme with them. They also lack any sincerity, so genuine conversation might as well be a foreign language to them

>>718373194

Other than that it was excellent. I remember the bohrok dudes being teased and you could download the font they used for them so you could use it in Word.

>>718376371
System was the blocks, Lego was a brand with other things in it. I think they had a wooden toy line at some point.

>>718378258
Almost all the new sets look like they have been made solely for grown ups with disposable income. Like they weren't meant to be played with. They still look cool, but the prices are insane.

>>718376865
I understand you want a toy to play with for a couple hours, but at that scale why not paint a model instead?
You could get a pretty crazy plastic model, well multiple of them really for the cost of that set ($460).

Anyone remember the edgy reboot of the submarine range? I had the bad guy sub from that, was sick manta ray thing with a bunch of fish man goons and mini subs that latched onto the main body with magnets. That was the coolest kit.

>>718379908
Was the 90s one the reboot? Because I had a shark looking kind of ship that also had one of those magnet arms. I eventually ended up making a huge robot with it with the ship as its head, it was cool as fuck.

>>718362505
my first and favorite. it's too bad that my parents left/forgot all my lego at the previous house...

My parents were so cool for gradually getting me all of these. They all connected to >>718361598 so you could have a complete base with three different mechs. There didn’t seem to be an emphasis on conflict with the astronauts but you could imagine it if you wanted.
These and Bionicle along with MNOG and Lego Racers 1/2 were my childhood. I’ve got still got them for if I ever have kids

pure sacrilege

Man old Lego was so fucking cool.
They really lost their soul when they started using that new plastic and made everything just special pieces.
Also takes away a lot of the versatility, but I guess manchild whales who dosh out half a grand for a Millenium Falcon more than make up for that.

>>718344280

Is it durable, at least?
I had a grocery bag full of hand me down bricks from cousins and aunts that were like a decade old since I was poor but they barely even had scratches on them, that shit was built to last.

>>718380269
loved this thing, it made me think of my favorite starcraft unit

>>718380728
Special pieces is really what killed the soul for me. Current models are deathly afraid of showing nubs so they all have special smooth bits to cover that all up. Just compare the prequel Star War sets to the new ones.

>>718381243
>Is it durable, at least?
No idea, but it looks like that most recent polystyrol that Airfix has started using for their kits since they started producing in India.
Old lego bricks will survive a nuclear strike.

>>718381381
The first Star Wars sets were more primitive, but they had that feel of "I could build that just from random pieces" which the new sets lack.

>>718381454
>but they had that feel of "I could build that just from random pieces" which the new sets lack.
That's because they knew those sets WOULD end up as random pieces, where today they end up as display pieces in some basedboys's cabinet.

Just this weekend I was visiting my mother and I found my old X-Wing in a drawer. It was one of the very first Star Wars kits, if not THE very first overall. At one point I could build that thing without instructions just from memory.

>>718381454
>>718381530
Exactly. You could then take it apart and put it in your shoebox or whatever you had to store your parts in and then build some cool shit yourself. Now they're just model building kits that you can't really do anyting else with.

>>718381880
Nevertheless how time consuming some of those new sets are compared to old ones due to the sheer amount of small details that could very well have been large single pieces.

>>718381454
>sets of auld
>generic pieces arranged as creatively as the designer could manage
>sets of now
>90% custom pieces that cannot possibly fit in any other build

>>718375319
why did you do that to me

>>718381454
I already was building STAR WARS sets before they came out with STAR WARS sets. And you're absolutely right. LEGO has lost its way. Imagination should be king but they make so many specialty pieces now you feel all but shoehorned into using "official" builds. Those short translucent antenna + pic related made great lightsabers.

>>718381257
I'd pay good money for starcraft legos

>>718352250

>>718382137

Yeah me and my friends too. Bootleg X-Wings aside, we used to build our own podracers and used actual strings wedged between the pieces to connect the cockpits.
