When I was young, I really really really wanted one of those computer game consoles. I think to compensate… I made one out of lego and pretended to play it, and somehow genuinely managed to entertain myself.

I still go WTF when I think about it.

Do you have transparent bricks?? Apparently, they are very valuable because LEGO no longer makes transparent bricks anymore!

I use to make spaceships and robots with mine. Then I’d destroy them ala eyeris’s “Battle of the favorite toy” smackdown. Then I build again. SOOO FUN!!!… thinking back now, it’s no wonder i didn’t have any childhood friends. hahhhahahhahahhaahahahah spend all day playing lego.

There IS a shop called BRICKBOY in both Berjaya Times Square and The Gardens. But it hardly has what I’d call an ‘extensive selection’, and is nowhere near those shops shown in the Google site. They don’t even sell loose LEGO bricks, fer gawds sake.

But if you wanna buy those rare Star Wars sets or the usual sets of Lego, then it’s a good place to go to.

Eyeris - I saw the one at The Gardens. I couldn’t believe how expensive it was. OUCH! I wandered into the store thinking I might be able to pick up a cheap Millennium Falcon lego set, but alas, it was ‘OW, MY WALLET IS ON FIRE’ expensive.

FA - My favourite things to build were spaceships. I’m such a guy. Yes, Lego was pretty NEW when I was young. [Let’s face it, it’s only 8 years older than me], but it was expensive then too. lol Almost EVERY kid had lego when I was young, and YES, it was much better with the basic square blocks [and some miscellaneous other shapes like roof tiles and doorways, windows etc] as it forced the kids to use their imagination.
Being the GEEK that I am, after a while the spaceships turned into a ‘Space War Game’ of sorts where I worked out turning circles for them, armaments and took turns to move then and rolled dice to have them shoot at each other allocating damage. [Much like todays computer simulations of such things as Star Craft etc, but of course a lot slower and with a lot fewer combatants].
Now, isn’t that the geekiest thing you’ve read today [with the exception of Paul’s Video console].

Dabido - i built my own Millennium Falcon LEGO when i was a kid… hahaha… it looked so dodgy but i was so proud of it. THEN i saw the Collector’s edition Millennium Falcon for the star wars series…I so want that one. i’ve been trying to follow the post on someone trying to built the damn thing on engadget. but there hasn’t been any updates. it took them a WHOLE day just to sort thru the 5000 pieces.

Back in the day, we would have a family trip to Kl every year end and we were given a budget to spend. I would spend all of it buying Lego at Toys’r'us.

No child ever had to be bored if they had Lego! WootZ!
