Cool! (Thats all I have to say, lol)
Aren’t those K’Nex?
They look like K’Nex.
Nope. They’re Lego Technic. =]
nope its the lego mind storm NXT set
aaaah legos or k-nex which ever it is reminds me of simpler times….of skool house rock and kool-aid commercials………build on hawk.
Mindstorm set? We had to use that for building our EG project. Ours was terrible, but our presentation skills made up for it!
OKAY, WHO LET HAWK NEAR THE LEGOS AGAIN?
Why do Americans always put the letter S at the end of words that don’t have it, even the LEGO company made a statement saying how much it annoys them seeing millions of people name there product wrong. :<
I still remember the message they used to put on the back pages of some of there catalogues saying how calling LEGO legos is a an insult to there company’s products and trademarks. :S
Because “s” means something is plural. He didn’t build it using just one LEGO. He used several LEGOs. And I’m sure LEGO is VERY annoyed at all the money they’re making off of people who say “LEGOs”, so I’m sure they’ll survive, SOMEHOW. Poor things. :P
Thank Bex. (snugs)
‘Because “s” means something is plural’
sheeps? salmons? There are quite a few words where the singular is the same as the plural but LEGO is actually slightly different again.
Technically what Hawk has used to build his… er… whatever that is… are called ‘LEGO components’ since LEGO is the brand name and not the name of the components themselves.
So, LEGO components, LEGO blocks, LEGO bits, LEGO pieces… but never LEGOs
I’m not normally one to pick up on grammar and spelling mistakes but ‘LEGOs’ really bugs me too.
Fortunately the world doesn’t revolve ENTIRELY around what bugs people.
legos legos legos legos.
Wel as we are commenting on it, sorry me too.
LEGO blocks, or just plain LEGO or *OUCH* who left the **** Lego on the floor ;)
The joys of the English language :D
God Damn. I’m just a freakin artist.
One line yet still awesome.
It’s amazing that you can make such an issue of an ‘S’ at the end of LEGO whilst repeatedly misusing “there” instead of “their”.
There = the cookie is on that table over there.
Their = tell LEGO the pedant is stealing their cookies on that table over there!
Apologies if you’re ESL, it can be confusing.
I left all my LEGO back in the UK when I moved to LA.. I look forward to having children and buying “them” LEGO. ¬_¬
who needs kids to buy Lego :D:D:D:D
I have a set! But with the old yellow brick hub, not this new fancy thing. :D
I’m not sure that the cat will enjoy riding this one. :)
Whatever it is, it looks cool and it makes be feel nostalgic of all the things I built with Legos like the Enterprise and a fairly large city with the help of my bro. Oh and the pains of stepping on one when you don’t know it. >o
We’re all still kids in a way. I mean i still have a large box of lego that i can’t seem to get rid of and a host of other things to.
What’s it for?
Finally!!! Someone who understands the power and fun of Lego’s,oh what a wonderful day
I have been wanting a set of Lego Mindstorm for as long as I have know about it…..You have my envy sir.
(Lego Mindstorm is a Lego set with a computer you can program to run Lego robots basically)
Nice I’ve always wanted one of those ever since the R2D2 one, also nice Arduino board.
Heh, Mindstorm NXT - so good your scientist husband can build a prototype of his plotter with it. Or is that just mine?!
LEGO is *never* geeky, Hawk - just misunderstood :P
Ain’t Mindstorms awesome?! I can’t believe I never even got any LEGOs until I was already I teen… ( ¬_¬) But hey, by then these were out! ^-^
Damn, that is a sweet Mac you have there. Your Camera skills need work though, the focus is all wrong.
Just to supplement with some totally useless info:
LEGO is made from the 2 danish words “LEG” (Play) and “GODT” (well or good).
Being from Denmark LEGO kinda made up 70% of my toys as a child
It’s not just because you are from Denmark.. it pretty much made up 70% of everyones toys around here as a kid.
NXT! *Brick love* that legos series rocks.
hr i always liked lego :> i mean a few weeks ago this new hydraulic truck came out and i thought “Man i want to build this thing” but then i remembered…..god i’m too old
Ahh… LEGO. Who doesn’t like LEGO? And the sets nowadays have quite a bit of versatility. I just wish they had a few more ‘traditional’ bricks in ‘em. I suppose if I want those, I’ll have to get one of those bulk containers.
I’d get Mindstorms, but I doubt I could justify spending the cash for it yet. …just like I can’t justify a Wacom Cintiq to myself.
Ahhhh~
I used those before.
I made a spider that walked around the house.
It was amazing.
Those things are incredibly awesome.
I am rather jealous you have them…
>.<
first time commenting here and i just wanted to say LEGO bricks were awesome and i still have a LEGO house somewhere <_< hope you have fun Hawk!!
Hawk,
you could totally make a WALL•E out of that!
