Lego Creations (not the SF kind)

I just ran across this Lego Stargate creation. What cool custom stuff have you found (or built)?

Re: Custom Lego Creations (not the SF kind!)

It's guys like this who make me wish I still had my LEGOs.

Re: Custom Lego Creations (not the SF kind!)

Legos were probably my favorite toys when I was growing up.

Re: Custom Lego Creations (not the SF kind!)

Legos consumed about 80% of my life as a kid. Im glad I still have them they're great. Too bad I never took any pics before I disassembled them.

Bucket Wheel anyone?

Re: Custom Lego Creations (not the SF kind!)

I have so many Legos yet, I love it...

Re: Custom Lego Creations (not the SF kind!)

Here's my favorite from my own collection (click to enlarge). Sorry for the dramatic photo, sometimes I just can't help myself!
For scale, that monolith (Magolith?) in the background is a silver 2C (ROP)

That is a pretty neat stargate (although not entirely accurate; not that I watched every single episode in that series or anything...). It is amazing how many of those small pieces with the "half moon" type things on the end of them the builder had to use for the border.

Any idea how they made the symbols for the gate?

Nice!

I love legos! One time I brought my entire lego collection to my college dorm and we all started building lego cars and racing them. There were about 9 or 10 of us--it was a Kodak moment--awwwww.

When I was a kid I would spend 3 or 4 hours non-stop on legos. One time I used like 90 percent of the legos to build the battlestar galactica. My dad eventually told me I had to take it apart so my brother and sister could have some legos to play with, too.

Before I moved away from Maine, I gave my lego collection to one of my best friends daughters, who definitely got more use out of it in the years that followed than I ever would have. But I still think legos rock. What's not to love?

Re: Custom Lego Creations (not the SF kind!)

Great thread!!

I spent probably 3-4 hours a DAY playing with Legos.

I had tons of them but the automobile chassis and go cart were my favs... these here:

I also had a Lunar lander set from the late 1970s. It was all blue IIRC (not the more recent 10029 kit)

Re: Custom Lego Creations (not the SF kind!)

Oh yes, I still have boxes of space legos packed away. I spent much of my pre teen years building legos and more than I'd like to admit of my teenage years playing with them too.
Most of my creations have never been lego man scale, rather they've been actual objects such as chess sets, computer chassis, etc. And then of course there was that long stint of Star Trek Starship model making I did. I had a really good liiking Klingon Bird of Prey for awhile. (albiet in all sorts of colors as green isn't very common :mecry

wow, the biggest thing i evern made with lego....was...well, the thing in t he picture on the box....one was the Gungan Submarine, and a Republic airplane thingy...

heres a cool one... not by me obviously

Man, that is so wrong :twothumbs

At a local Volvo dealer they have a Volvo SUV with the body done entirely in Lego. My kids ran to it like they were sucked into a sci-fi vortex, ignoring everything else there.

Dude, I'm so confused! I don't know which way to turn my head to look at it! :duh2:

Love the Stargate! I miss watching SG1, etc.
