Member | Wed Oct 06 17:02:12 jergul, you are giving away your age. "The Lego Group began in the workshop of Ole Kirk Christiansen, a carpenter from Billund, Denmark, who began making wooden toys in 1932. In 1934 his company came to be called Lego. It expanded to producing plastic toys in 1940. In 1949 Lego began producing the now famous interlocking bricks, calling them "Automatic Binding Bricks". These bricks were based largely on the patent[1] of Kiddicraft Self-Locking Bricks, which were released in the United Kingdom in 1947." WIKI |

The franchise lego stuff did not arrive before I was up and throwing stones at the visiting Iron Lady Franchise Lego stuff came in the late 80s. I thought it was an open fact that you were the middle aged-guy on the board situated uncomfortably between the senior citizen UPers and everyone else. |

Member | Wed Oct 06 17:08:03 Sorry, guess you were talking about this, "'Fabuland' ran from 1979 to 1989. The more advanced 'Lego Technic' was launched in 1984." |

The whole point of lego is being able to make so many different things so I don't see the point in spending E20 on even a very basic model just to have it sit on the shelf. |
