I’ve been “getting back into” Lego recently. I have always been a huge Lego fan since I was a kid. I still have a giant tub of Lego from when I was younger and I’ve been recently buying new sets and having a great time with it. I tend to gravitate towards building more interactive models — which is why Technic has always appealed to me and why that’s where I began when I started buying sets again.

Being the nerd that I am, I’ve been spending a lot of time looking at other models that people have been making – both Technic models and any assortment of random stuff that people make.

And OMFG is some of the stuff people make AMAZING!!!

Seriously, some of the things people create with nothing but a bunch of Lego bricks is unreal. Mind blowingly impressive.

The sad thing that I’ve realized is that by being “out of the loop” for so many years, I’m not only horribly out of practice, but I don’t have the majority of the cool new pieces that have really allowed people to take Lego model making to a whole new level.

I think I’m just going to have to start branching out begin getting additional sets beyond Technic to supplement my 25+ year old basic Lego bricks so I have better model making options. I’ll just have to add it to one of my wishlists!
