You've probably already seen this but just in case you haven't: Google Street View Gallery of LEGOLAND.

Anyone remember the HUGE LEGO display at downtown Hudsons during the late 70s early 80s?

I like the little LEGO operators.

Is this some kind of inside joke to make fun of me? If it is it is not funny.

No, because your name is not Gistok and you only play with Lego in Troll Land.

Did someone say something?

No. If the shoe doesn't fit, don't wear it too eagerly.

HOLY CRAP!!!

How did I miss this thread for 11 Months!!!

Musta been in a coma....

A belated thanks Jimaz....

Looks like our "Glee" troll on this forum went "buh-bye"...

Lord knows why he thought this thread was an attempt at making fun of him??

There are Legolands in Carlsbad CA [[the one you've referenced Jimaz), Windsor England, Gunzburg Germany [[halfway between Munich & Stuttgart), and the 1st one in the Lego HQ town of Billund Denmark. A new Legoland is being built now near Orlando FL.

For anyone that ever wanted some old LEGO set that they had as a kid, but no longer have.... you can find any set or parts on this website... BrickLink... with over 100 million secondary market Lego sets/parts sold by 4,500 "home based" Lego stores worldwide...
http://www.bricklink.com/index.asp

Or if you want famous landmarks [[in either table top size or 8 ft. tall models)... then my Chicago architect Lego friend Adam Reed Tucker [[with whom I'm co-authoring a LEGO reference guide)... has one helluva Lego bug....
http://www.brickstructures.com/0Arch...ralModels.html
Or you can buy a boxed official LEGO copy of a famous building....
http://www.brickstructures.com/SiteStore.html

The number of children that have played with LEGO worldwide is between 300 and 400 million. The number of adults [[who had LEGO as kids) and later found their interest in LEGO rekindled as adults numbered about 10,000 a decade a go... that number is approaching 1/2 million... and will likely double every 5 years.... they're known as AFOL.... Adult Fan Of Lego.

Last weekend Germany had a huge Lego fair called LEGOFANWELT 2010.... and it filled a convention hall..... check out the 90,000 piece Cologne Cathedral that a pair of AFOLs built...

And of course... there's the site with Detroit landmarks by our own DYes poster "decojim"....

LOL! Well, I could have called your attention to it but after a while I thought it would be funnier when you found it on your own.

It's truly one of the top toys of all time. Someday I expect to see a LEGO factory made out of LEGO that makes other LEGO factories that make LEGO factories that make LEGO factories....

Then there's James May's life-size LEGO house ...
that nobody wanted ...
so it had to be demolished!

I should have crossposted this here earlier. Better late than never. It's a LEGO version of an automatic transmission. Genius.

Our son, now 23 and in college, refuses to give up his extensive collection of LEGO parts. LEGO Dacta, gears, motors, everything. Boxes and boxes of LEGO parts.

One of our favorite gifts to give when babies are born are Duplo blocks!

**Gistok** · January-06-11, 02:18 AM

Crystal... do listen to your son!! There is a HUGE secondary market for old LEGO sets and parts... especially complete sets with box and instructions. $$$

I've seen 2 old matchbox sized LEGO cars sell for $4000 [[from 1958) and $3235 [[from 1966) respectively on Ebay. Unfortunately, these 2 were only sold/found in continental Europe.

**Gistok** · January-13-11, 03:56 AM

It's unbelievable... but the most valuable LEGO brick [[in this case a LEGO DUPLO) I have ever encountered happens to have a Detroit relationship.....

Did you purchase it?

**Gistok** · January-14-11, 01:10 AM

No.... I believe it's overvalued by at least double....

**Gistok** · January-30-11, 08:35 PM

Just came across a very funny British interview of PRINCE OF PERSIA Jake Gyllenhaal.... 7 minutes into it he brings out some Prince Of Persia LEGO people.... but watch this from the beginning.... very funny....

Watch it to the end too. They crack a joke about the illegality of Cuban cigars in the U.S. LOL!

**Jimaz** · January-30-11, 09:48 PM

Bunch of LEGO stuff at ThinkGeek.com

**Gistok** · February-21-11, 01:21 AM

I guess I can now correct 1KielsonDrive about our president's name....

It's NOT "Nobama"....

It's LEGObama...... LOL....
