50th Anniversary of Legos

Man, Legos defined my childhood. That and the Tinkertoys. I'd pour over the damn diagrams like an engineer. What always pissed me off was when two flat pieces got stuck together.

I always wanted the Technic sets, but by the time I got old enough to actually be able to use them as intended, my brothers had me outside helping them wrench on 510's and oval window bugs.
My 1958 Mamiya can beat up whatever camera you just wasted your money on.

I used to use Super Glue when I built shit so that I could make new toys. I'm a fag. I also loved Lincoln Logs.

That was the main one I played with.  The others were too simplistic.

Transformers were better.

Hey, anybody remember the name of the He-Man toy where you put him in under a giant skull and oozed slime on him?
