Actually...
I was oblivious to the fact, but my mom saved all my Lego from when I was a kid... and gave it to my son when he was old enough! Moms are good that way!

From Wiki:
The Lego company estimates that in the course of five decades (since 1958)it has sold some 400 billion Lego blocks. Annual production of Lego bricks averages approximately 20 billion per year, or about 600 pieces per second. To put this in context, if all the Lego bricks ever produced were to be divided equally among a world population of six billion, each person would have 62 Lego bricks.[

I'm so uncreative with lego. I can't build anything, nor could I when I was a kid. I did have a Mrs. Beasley doll, perfection, baby tenderlove, operation, a commadore 64, and even an Intellivision game! lol
Are you sure it's not an 'Imperial Walker' Dad? Fuck sakes get it straight.onthebottom said:

If you mean Mindstorms, it has been around for a long time (original RCX, and now NXT). It is incredible value though. If you have any interest in robots and programming them, highly recommended. Something like this I find superawesome:tboy said:

Hmm mindstorm? I dunno, I thought it was called robotix but I really wasn't paying attention to the name, just the parts. I was looking for small scale bevel gears etc and that site came up. I did notice however that some of the stuff was quite pricey. Too much for my parents to afford that's for sure.Garrett said:
