Those who know me know that I like:
1) Lego
2) Architecture

So imagine my deep joy now that Lego are doing architecture sets.
Clicky

I hope, as the article suggests, they do Le Corbusier buildings. I’ll be over those like a rash.

It's one of those concepts that seems so glaringly obvious... when someone else thinks of it :lol:

I hate to think how much time I spent with Lego. When I was 6 or 7, if I wasn't building something then I was probably planning something. I used to like houses with complicated roofs, and strange machines that had many moving parts but did very little.

I still have it all. Got it out a couple of years ago and spent many hours building yet more strange machines, like a wind powered tractor and things that walked. Great fun.

Fallingwater looks good. However judging by the peg size, they are pretty small. I was hoping for something at least 50x50cm. And $45 is a bit steep for the size they are..

Yes - they do seem rather small, and costly as a result, Factor in postage, and you’ve got expensive sets. Ideally, they should be to the same scale as the minifigs.

I remember when we first got Lego. My siblings and I would make a new thing every day from the manual and play with whatever we had made for the entire day. Sometimes we'd get bored and make something else.

After we finished the 'manual' and made everything it depicted, we started making other stuff. I always tried to make 'exotic' stuff from lego - spaceships, tanks, robots etc. My fave was a hovercar/spaceship thing called Thunderr (with two Rs) that could go from Normal mode to Battle mode to Stealth mode (inspired by Knight Rider and some 80s cartoons).

If I ever find it, I'll put up some pics.

Wow, that's pretty cool.

Whilst I remember, in a copy of iCreate the other week, they mentioned this, it's the Lego Digital Designer. Design Lego models on your PC or Mac :D

if i recall you can also order your 'creation' as a kit... though it's probably not cheap...

I just made that Thundarr thing I was on about earlier in the thread. Cost would be £7 :shock: :shock: :shock: The box, when bought back in late 80s was about that much!

As much as I liked Lego, I always found Duplo more entertaining. :)

LOL

I expected that comment to have come from Bratty or JV but not you lol :lol:

Those Architecture kits do look cool but like most Lego things, they're far too expensive.

Doh! And there was me thinking this thread was about a codename for some new Intel or AMD CPU architecture. :oops: :roll:
