/s but it was the goto for the trolls.

“One account had approximately 200,000 comment karma and only a few hundred post karma. This is the person Reddit wants to keep. This type of guy (the most aggressive users still seem to be guys) will not get his account banned.”

Bullshit, they banned my account and it was a higher comment karma number than this. The bans made no sense. On top of that they are using pixel (or something similar) so I made a new account it was insta-banned. I said “fuck it” and havent been back even as an offline user.

And give the character just the slightest touch of “Brüno” and it would be insane…

Only one man would would give me the “raspberry”…

Same here, it was the only toy I could manipulate my dad into buying as he was an engineer.

I had 928 too, never could forget the front windshield angle brick w/ the giant space logo on it :)

Yeah this one doesn’t have any, they came out a year or two later. Here are some in this ad:

Thats a cool kit too, I so want them to rerelease these!

6950 was my absolute favorite!

Oh I remember the day MTV was launched, whole neighborhood was in my living room. We had the biggest TV on the block so it was the place for boxing/sports/etc.

and your right the movies, what happened to low budget movies being shown on Saturday manatee’s??? Now if it doesn’t cost 300 million you can forget seeing a real movie theater.

We all remember that sound, thup thup, thup thup, thup thup…

And you couldn’t get replacement tires, total BS!

The Yellow Space Figs were my favorite!

You guys see the size of that CHICKEN!??!!?

My dad used to fix TVs while going to school for his BSEE. I know this machine all too well!

I understand. Also my dad was an engineer so I could get him onboard with buying me sets every so often because we would build together. The rest of the time we built anything together it involved a soldering gun.

But considering I bet you appreciated those sets like no other kid on planet Earth at the time :)

Same here, I don’t think I ever got a set outside the Space Series.

Were Lego super expensive in Germany? No shade just curious as an American.

EDIT:

I also come from a big extended family, so they would pool the Lego kits for Bdays/Xmas. I only wanted Lego, it was the only toy I played with.

Off script was the BEST! I would build the kit per the instructions, play with it for a bit, then the deconstruction would begin. First what can I build w/ just the kit, then the tub of bricks was put into play to build a monstrosity!

Having no screens helped a bunch! Every stick was a sword or a gun, building forts, digging holes (one of my favorite past times as a kid), playing army, BMX bikes. I am so glad I grew up in the 80’s

I agree 100%, I would buy them again. And hang them by fishing line from my ceiling again :)
