The Lego Vault. I seriously recognize some of that stuff...which is eerie and makes me feel old.

I had that pirate ship! We had their island fort, and Port Royal, and the British ship... God I loved those pirates. They had monkeys and parrots and hook hands and peg legs... And they even had a girl pirate! They're the reason why I asked everyone I know for all the Lego Viking sets two Christmases ago.

pirates were great, at least until they "safetied" the cannons

you didn't know?

after a while they made it so the little plunger couldn't pull back (these are the black plunger canons) then later they made them on solid piece.

I never got any of the really big sets, though my brother had that huge castle they showed. But I had a smattering of medieval, pirate, and space legos. And one or two from that town set, I think.

Do evil scientists have heart?

They have several- none of them originally theirs.

Or maybe that's just me?

Maybe for evil scientists heart is just an organ that pumps blood and not a symbolic representation of person's life force and/or feelings, so he should be eating his brain instead?

You're an evil scientist? I always thought you kept those hearts to eat them.

Ah, classic LEGO sets. The earliest stuff I can remember having was those M spacepeople vs. B spacepeople. I wonder if anyone has scans of all the old LEGO instruction manuals...

Oh this brings memorizes... I have or have played with a lot of that, some even older, before the arms became moveable and cars got doors... I need to get it away from my kids to play with it again!

Funny you should say that, I've actually started scanning in all my old instructions, to make sure what barely survived me will have a chance of surviving my kids XD

I remember that!
I never quite knew what was going on... just that some of our cannons fired properly and others didn't even move.
That's too bad... it's not like they could hurt anyone, for crying out loud.

Only the dumb and the accident-prone would lose eyes from that.

Besides, if your kid is that stupid (or that accident-prone), just superglue the damn thing shut.
Voila, no firey!
...or just make the cannons so they don't fire.

BUT WHAT FUN IS THAT?


...I think I'll go play with lego now.
