randysxe Posted January 30, 2009 Author Share Posted January 30, 2009 the story behind me pulling these out and building them is kinda funny! my brother wayne (F.T.W. (wardogs) on here) came down to san diego over christmas! kept bugging me to pull them out and build them while we were building all of the indiana jones sets i have! well he ended up going back home to san fran, so on new years, this is what i did, built legos and when his ass came down later in january, he saw them built for the first time ever! we are both huge lego nuts! thought id share!

randysxe Posted January 30, 2009 Author Share Posted January 30, 2009 so expensive indeed! you have no idea howmuch money i have into the pirate sets! its crazy! i will have them forever and if i have kids they will play with them as long as they are kept in sets...almost all my sets have original boxes...i hunted those down to that i didnt....the most expensive box i bought was $40 i believe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattisr1984 Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 lego pirates is by far the best line of legos ever. they just released a new line of pirate legos that actually somewhat pay homage to the original sets. i was way into these when i was a kid and still have 3 of those ships -- black seas barracuda, skull eye schooner, and caribbean clipper and a bunch of other pirate sets from that era.

brotherkyle Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Bad Ass. All of my Legos are fucked. Missing pieces, torn instructions, heads falling off. I didn't collect particular sets, rather took whatever was given to me. The Robin Hood shit was my favorite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danthemjfan23 Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 just curious, how do you know how many there are in the history of legos? is there a website that lists them all? these are awesome by the way. i have a HUGE lego collection.

enjoyadrian Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 daaamn i've been waiting on these pics. They look awesome. On average for the bigger ones, how long does it take to put them together? also check this lego digital box thing out (stolen from kanye's blog): http://blabber-etcetera.blogspot.com/2009/01/whats-in-box-augmented-reality.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danthemjfan23 Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 my parents used to buy me legos for all the holidays of the year. i had a SWEET working train set with like 6 cars i think. eventually, they stopped buying them for me though because i "put them together too fast" meaning i'd open it the night i got it, and it would be done in less than 2 hours, even if it was a huge intricate thing. i never understood that logic, especially if i played with them afterward (which i did) but i guess i just started my next collection. at the time, that was michael jordan jerseys.
