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...

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....

Or you can buy a boxed official LEGO copy of a famous building....

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...
