Those guys cheat and glue the pieces to each other side by side.



I know. If I did that, I could make some bad ass stuff too. ;D I always got annoyed with the constraints of Lego, along with the fact that I spent more time digging for that elusive piece I needed than actually building.

That's a cute cab.

I used to just build little ships in ways that were as faithful to my imagination while still being constrained by how legos work. I did at times want more sophisticated shapes and options...but, and I knew this, I really just wanted a real, cast toy version that didn't exist. I mean, why the hell do you want to build a lego version of the death star or whatever? It still doesn't really look like it, and you have to build it first to play with it?!

Multiple monitors of 19" and above. I can type without the hard returns if it's become a nuisance.

A friend and I would each build a 4-wheeled car, and we'd design/build a offense and defenses on it (like a battering ram). We'd then sit at opposite ends of a room and on the count of three roll each car as hard as we could, smashing them into each other. Pieces would of course get knocked off (sometimes even craking lego pieces) and then we repeat over and over. The winner was the last car that could still roll on at least 2 or 3 wheels.

We also had a variation where we had a little lego man sitting in a driving compartment, and the loser was the first to have the man ejected out of the car.

And people worry about kids playing games like Death Race!   ;D
