LEGO Mass Effect

[Fayathon]

A miniature size Gabe Newell?

I wouldn't be able to do him justice.

Oh, that's not in stores here in the US either, at least not that I've seen, you'd have to get it online or a specialty shop, if they sold them in stores I'd actually be tempted to buy some, I love Legos.

Yeah, it's too bad. When I was a kid, you could buy them by the bucketload. And I did.

I never had Legos of my own, I always had K'nex, it was my cousin that had Legos, of course playing with both was always awesome.

 

[Fayathon]

Yes, I have a shitload of K'nex as well. I also had Mechanix, which is basically like the die cast metal version of K'nex. I used to make great contraptions with that stuff.

I could never convince my parents to get me any Mechanix, those looked like so much fun.

Build a LEGO Gabe Newell.

I would, but I don't have enough blocks.

Incidentally, that's also what's so great about hallucinogenic drugs.

A miniature size Gabe Newell?

Or just a bust of him. Then you wouldn't use too many, or too little pieces.

OT: Those are freaking awesome. If I knew where my LEGOs were I'd dig them up and make some that would most likely suck.

Thats is too awesome!!! he has to add it to this:

Then i'd buy it what ever the cost!

Damn... I was expecting an announcement for the LEGO Mass Effect video game.

I don't suppose they'll start making that until they're done with LEGO Modern Warfare, though...

 

[Fayathon]

Oh, they were.

Tough to use though, but unlike Lego and K'nex, they stayed together when moved, meaning you could make moving things with them.

Yeah, I had a few things that were K'nex that were indestructible, but most fell apart with any heavy usage, at least they were easy to repair.

when i saw the title of the thread i thought it was about a LEGO mass effect game, like they did with star wars. but the awesomeness of that normandy quelled my rage very well

 

[Not-here-anymore]

Haven't played with Lego in years... But now I feel the need to dig them up and attempt to either build the original Normandy or a turret from Portal

Well, he beat you to the original Normandy, too.

Yeah, I saw it when I checked the link... Turrets it is then!

This is pretty amazing. I always wished I had enough LEGO to build something like this. I got a big box of stuff once, but it was just the big, chunky pieces so I couldn't make anything too precise.

I always preferred Bionicle. I still have a box full of that stuff, and Technic from a big-ass Mars Explorer. I just packaged it all up on a purge of my room, but once I move out and can't be the subject of scorn from my family, I'll open them back up. I was actually in the process of building a model of an Elite from Halo and never managed to finish. I'll do that someday.

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

A LEGO Portal Gun?

Tis been done.

How about one TO SCALE?

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

How about one TO SCALE?

How about no?!

I really can't muster that kind of effort.

How about a LEGO Ireland flag?

 

[szaleniec1000]

I regret rediscovering how cool Lego is after I'd already donated all my old Lego to younger relatives.

 

[Rewdalf]

I don't have any images, as I have left my creation in Europe, but I made a pretty nice crane transport truck using pieces from a fire truck and ambulance set...
I actually made the colors work with the truck, the cab lifted up like so

(Wow, that image was really hard to find...)
I payed a lot of attention to detail, like a fuel cap, engine, seat, the front grill and headlights plus roof lights. It had three "axels", so six wheels, the rear was a bit long, with ramps that could be moved up and down, and the crane was a scale model that fit perfectly onto the truck and...
This is all totally off topic, I just love reliving my LEGO moments...

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

How about a LEGO Ireland flag?

Don't have any orange pieces. They didn't sell them back when I bought them.

Hell, I might stock up off the net when I can.

LEGO Chainsaw? Leave it hollow for your hand to fit in!
