I had two big buckets of Legos as a kid.

Blacktron and Mtron were my favorites. Intergalactic space wars galore !!

Haha, that's pretty rad. Lego should have released a Lincoln themed set to crush America's National Toy! It was all about Lego for me, I'd build all these shitboxes out of the smaller shitboxes and pretend they were cars and everything. "LOOK AT THIS DINOSAUR" and it'd just be like four green blocks joined together. I even had ONE HUNDRED PERCENT UNOFFICIAL Lego town mats that had flat buildings and so forth. Oh my yes. Later I got into Mechano, which was the 'mature' version of Lego, but here's a secret! Mechano was shit!

Lincoln logs suck ass. Lego's are incredible. What else is there to say?

Completely useless post, but it's always freaked me out that American's say 'Legos'. It's always just Lego here. If you have some Lego, you have some Lego! Wait. Kind of like pronouncing Seegah as Saygah.

HOT HITS TODAY, HOT HITS ON THE WAY!

THE PLURAL OF LEGO IS LEGO.

And Lincoln Logs are fucking lame. Denmark forever. Best sets were Blacktron, Pirates and... That one early-90s underwater scifi set. God I loved that.

(Blacktron was the one with the monorail, yeah?)

Lego rock! Lincoln Logs were cool until I found out about Lego. My brother was really addicted to Lego as well.

We used to make a Lego version of Civilization. Actually it got really intense and we had a great system going. We also used to build forts and stuff and have 12 or so Lego guys hiding in each one. Then, we pitted them against each other about 20-25 feet apart and put together a Lego ball or square and used that to throw at each other's forts. Whoever killed all the guys in the other fort first won.

It was a lot of fun.

I didn't really play with Legos a whole lot when I was little, but I never played with Lincoln Logs, so it beats that.

Either way, I prefer Legos since there alot more room for creativity as opposed to the linear designs of the logs.

Guys... what about Tinkertoys?

Tinkertoy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I played with these things all the damn time when I was a kid.

LEGO ftw. I still have dozens of buckets of Lego pieces in my basement somewhere. I love it. As I grew older though, I moved on to K'NEX, and I have every important large set that was released before I entered high school. Meanwhile, Lincoln Logs were crap.

Also, there was this other construction set brand I used to play with a long time ago too. I can't remember what it was called, but it consisted of colored triangular pieces that could interlock with each other to create awesome. <3
