Toy of the Century Lego needs no introduction ;)

[edit] Categories

There's so much Lego to choose from, and different people like different kinds. This Categories section is for you to talk about the particular type or class of Lego which you especially enjoy, collect or envy. Feel free to cover all classes of Lego, from Duplo to Technic to City to Pirates (arrr!)

[edit] Technic

Technic Lego web page: Technic Lego

I'm going to start with Technic. I used to have a heap of Technic Lego in the 90's and foolishly gave it away to a girl who I was trying to impress. Yes, I will provide you with a large wooden object to beat me around the head and shoulders until I see the light - or the lack of light. Since producing offspring (not with that particular girl!), I've started to relive my childhood (let's be honest, I never really left it behind!) through Technic Lego.

I started with the Cherry Picker, spotted on special one day in a K-Mart, and I haven't looked back since, much to the frustration of SWMBO... I've since acquired the modern icon of Technic, the Motorized Bulldozer, and I'm up to about 10 Technic sets. I'm going to have to consider listing them especially on my contents insurance!
