Never liked legos?

Post Reply New Topic

Anyone else not like these wretched things when they were little? Is this some kind of strange myth or did you guys like these things?

That, the toe thing, and the extreme hand flapping are pretty much the only things I don't do that isn't stereotypical (although I'm mild on the spectrum).

I had tons of Legos. Talking about them now makes me want to buy more. I even have Lego Star Wars on my computer.

I always loved legos when I was a kid. I just hate all those lego animations that are out there.

Sorry, can't agree with you there. I loved them as a kid and still secretly play with them sometimes even as an adult.

Love lego. Planning to play with it tonight. It really consumes my mind when I play with it. I sit there rocking, building in ways that most wouldn't- sort colors, make patterns.... Dont have much of an interest in the building side really.

I hated legos, because I couldn't think of anything to build and got mad. My brother and sister would always make awesome castles and have battles, and if I tried, I ended up randomly placed pieces. I would want to make a castle, but couldn't remember the shape of a castle from all those little pieces.
And what about K'Nex?! ! My sister had a few sets and she would combine them and make her own running machines. It was so cool, but I couldn't understand it, just got frustrated every time I tried.

no i don't like lego

I didn't have enough imagination to build anything, but I like the idea of legos and I like to look at them. I would have been happier sorting them.

Funny how I started a thread not just a few days ago about my brothers literal obsession with Legos.

Legos are fine and cool.

I really liked legos... but only the ones that weren't part of those "sets". I didn't like to be constrained about what I could or could not build. I particularly liked to build cars and things that rolled. I'd then happily send them into motion and watch gravity do its thing.

I had piles of Lego as a kid, recently I got this as a gift and it fired me up again:

Oh lego is awesome.

When I went off to university I took my (very heavy) lego trunk with me on the train, without checked baggage. This was not something I was going to leave behind! I bought mindstorms not long after they first came out. I never liked following the directions or building what the sets told me to, always marching to my own drumbeat. And as with my cooking, I liked to build the same things over and over again with only modest changes.

My favourite things to build were oil tankers (with double-hulled tanks), heavy bombers (with bomb bays that opened and dropped marbles), and massive chinook-type helicopters, all from the 5-segment pirate ship base of which, annoyingly, I only had one. It was a mission of mine to build a ship from that base that would actually float, and as a young kid I put a lot of effort into building a box of not overly buoyant lego to attach to the underside to keep the ships afloat in the bathtub at the proper waterline -- though I lacked any kind of pump and so floundering was ultimately inevitable. My solution was to place the ships in the snow where they at least appeared afloat.

I also loved building small aircraft with the purpose of destroying them. Throwing a helicopter up in the air and lobbing a well-aimed AA battery (appropriate enough, if you think about it) was an occupation that could keep me entertained for hours, rebuilding, launching, and shooting down the same little chopper over and over.

Now as my twenties approach their final months my lego is in storage at my parents' place but I do miss it, except for the horrid noise of digging through the bin for that one piece I so desperately needed.

I loved them.... But this might sound weird: I had almost as much fun sorting them and putting them back in the correct spot in the box, as in building things with them. I even had the Lego 190 with people, and the one with the tractor motor and remote control; the 212, I think. (mid-1970s)

That doesn't sound weird at all. Who wouldn't have fun sorting them?

I'm indifferent to them. I can tell you stepping on a lego isnt really a pleasent experiance however

I LOVED Lego, I would be stuck creating all sorts of things on there and I would be stuck on there.

Dreadful thing about it was stepping on it as what richard said.
