Legos are great, my 6 year old builds the weirdest things everyday with them.
Nice M35 there.

Sigh....I can't keep up with Lego anymore. Now they have pieces like that M2 or the wheels. Things like that add to the detail of whatever you built, but takes out some of the simplicity of the lego concept to me...

Great job by the little guy! I want to know where the above stated parts came from now...lol.

Yep, my son builds all kinds of crazy stuff. He took a Lego engineering class last summer and he comes up with some interesting builds. Guns, cannons, trucks, ships, swamp buggies, rock crawlers. He had a huge mockup of Normandy built in his room with German and American forces positioned according to a book he was reading about WW2. All built with Legos! Not bad for a ten year old.

You know, you can't really just go buy a bucket of Lego bricks like I got when I was a kid. These days you have to buy kits that are based on a theme, almost like building a model. He has all kinds of parts from the City Lego series, and there are military type kits with Jeeps, trucks, tanks, soldiers, weapons. There's even a special set of soldiers and weapons called "Brick Arms" that he has dozens of. He has buckets of Lego parts; wheels, tires, gears, axles, windshields, and the basic bricks in a dozen different colors.

I sell LEGO as a part time gig, well up until I lost my house (see rebuild in my sig).

I use Bricklink;

Sherwood Forest - BrickLink.com

Have to be a member to buy and sell but it's free, and a great resource, have to be 18 so you'd have to register and assist your son.

My store above is empty due to the evacuation but I normally have 40k parts in inventory and well over 500k in my personal collection, which doesn't include over 100 sets from 1984 to present that are MISB (mint in sealed box).

I love all things LEGO, and love related discussion and creative works. Your son is on the right track, unlike video games LEGO encourages invention and creation. It also promotes looking at the world in 3d and how things work. IMO it's the world's greatest toy.

Another great site is Brickshelf.com, here users can post pictures of LEGO creations. It's very often a first stop in finding ideas for another model build.

Thanks for posting and Happy building, and remember the word LEGO comes from the Danish words Le Godt which means "play well".

Nice job on the lego deuce! The camo dump truck's also nice. I too love legos.

Those have to be the best toy ever made. I regret selling mine now, had three large bins of them, I want to play with them The kid inside never dies just sometimes fades away. (partly)

My son has buckets of Legos, Megas, and Knex. They all work together too. The Knex allows him to put motors, electronics, ect in them for less then the Lego brand motor kits.

Its good to have 5 sets of grandparents who love to spoil him rotten. Every holiday, bday, ect he gets boxes and tubs of legos. Under his queen sized bed is 3 large totes that take up the whole space under the bed. Nothing but legos.
