lego army men and jeep from "Toy Story"

Saw this in the new lego catalog, my wife says they were at Target already...

Just what I need to go with the lego 5 ton wrecker I've been working on
(which between the size and the CDL, is the only way I'm going to have one !)

i love LEGOS, any pics or hints of the wrecker build

Anyone else see the bad news. Just one man cant build a motor pool. "Limit 5 per customer" rats.

Must be DHS regulations.

The best Christmas's ever was when I got legos. I'm 37 and still have to go down the lego isle when out shopping.

My boss at work loves Legos and hes a 29 year old guy with a kid who smokes like a chimney stack. But that is neat to see.

the lego 5 ton I've been building

Got kicked of out my son's room at bedtime (and all my legos are still packed up), so still need to build the wrecker parts. The cab still needs mirrors, a better exhaust stack, and the winch cable. Since I ended up with an opening hood, I'm going to add something as an engine inside.
It has serious super singles. Scaling by the lego dudes they are about 6' high ! (they are lego size 43.2 x 28S )
It started out as a deuce, but the scaling just wasn't working out. (that's the old deuce bed on the back)

lego design software

I tried an early version of lego's design software, and was disappointed. I've downloaded the new version, an am thinking of trying it out with the 5-ton. It would be cool to order a custom set.

i love legos i want to get all the star war sets but uhm...they're really exspensive

 

[73m819]

the bad thing about the designer program is only current pieces are available, there is so much neet old stuff to build with

I was getting hungry(diet/new years resolution) as I read this thread. I just realised it was Legos, not Eggos!

I loved legos as a kid, I don't remember "kits". I just remember hours of creative fun.

Ill be the guy Eric, Ill build the 5 ton made of Eggos. -Jay

Lego so totally rocks. Been building Lego for over 35 years. My Grandmother would travel to Europe every year and bring home new sets for all us kids. I owe my mechanical mindedness to those good ole' days. I just ordered my son (me) one of the Lego Technic Front Loaders. Can't wait to build it.

Man, you guys need a hobby.... wait, we have a hobby, I like the 5 ton and now will have to try a deuce. I can use the Lincoln Logs I bought my son for things to drive over or winch. I heard that we are getting a Legoland here in Florida replacing the old Cypress Gardens.

Similar to that, as a kid I got to go to Maduradam in the Netherlands and that place is amazing. It is an entire model sized city.
