I've been playing with LEGO again...

I've been playing with LEGO again...
Today we had a meeting of AFOL:s (Adult Fans Of Lego) in Norrköping, Sweden. We talked a lot, got some food, and played with LEGO!
First we built 'vignettes' depicting scenes from films, and guessed what the others were trying to re-create. The first is mine...
You just can't miss this one!
A golden oldie...
Then we built a GBC (Great Ball Contraption), unfortunately only three working modules, but still fun.

Then we should team up two and two and build a catapult (or whatever) and try to land five 2x2:s inside a fortress 3 meters away. My team built a trebuchet:

The winner - all five ammo inside the fort - unfortunately not ours:

What's up with that flying bull on picture 2?
Alcohol is not the answer, it just makes you forget the question.

LEGO is really all-time toy. I played with it, and now I play with it together with my son.

Re: I've been playing with LEGO again...
Yeah, I need a son too.
Re: I've been playing with LEGO again...
You don't need any excuses (like children of your own). You are allowed to play with LEGO all by yourself. if you feel like it. I mean, there are grown-ups going out for half a day chasing a little white ball with an iron stick - why would it be worse sitting at home, constructing something?
Here's my latest GBC module:

Re: I've been playing with LEGO again...
I've got a pirate ship I built about 7 years ago in a cupboard somewhere. Might see if I can dig it out and repair it at some point.
Re: I've been playing with LEGO again...
Here's a little movie of the current state of my GBC:
Actually, since the film was taken, I've finished another module and a 'bridge' so now I can let the balls go round forever

The kids and I are doing a StarWars week, we saw Episode IV Monday night, Episode V yesterday and will watch the last one tonight. I couldn't resist building a LEGO Millennium Falcon after watching ep. IV (the color of some parts is due to my limited supply of the right ones):

Re: I've been playing with LEGO again...
Lucky you. I allways look at SW bricks, but they're very expensive here.

I don't quite get what you mean? I didn't buy a SW set, I constructed it myself, with the bricks I have available.Wile E. Coyote wrote:Lucky you. I allways look at SW bricks, but they're very expensive here.

Re: I've been playing with LEGO again...
Really? I was convinced that this is SW set. You did it very nice.

Re: I've been playing with LEGO again...
Well, we've had a LEGO-meet again (I arranged it). Over 60 people, most of them grown-ups, played with LEGO, took part in small competitions, and had fun in general.
Pictures: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=448823
People showed off their own constructions
All my GBC modules (later there were five or six more made by others)
The prize table - all donated by LEGO!!!

Wow, looks awesome! I wish more people I knew shared the hobby.
