Gizmodo Visits Lego

Posted on 24 June 2008 by


I was a child of Lego.  Lego was my favorite toy ever when I was a kid.  I would constantly be building spaceships, robots, rockets and cars out of the brightly colored plastic bricks.  I would keep some models together for a long time and would horde my favorite pieces.

Well, Imagine walking into a vault and finding every one of the over 4000 sets of Lego ever made.  From the train set that activated when you whistled to the 1970-1980 time I lived through with space men and more.  The video Gizmodo shot is amazing!  Take a trip down memory lane over at Gizmodo and figure out how many of these sets you actually had!

    I love that it looks like they keep these in a vault. It would be interesting to know if there are any other big collections that are similar to these (private collectors, etc).

    I just love Lego! Mom won’t let me have any of my old stuff as my nieces, nephews and son play with them when they visit Grandma! :D

    I REALLY want some of the NXT stuff from Lego. I would get a kick out of making some robots to put on my desk! :D
