What is Digg?96 Comments
- JavertHolmes, on 10/12/2007, -1/+62Don't care about PS3 versus X-box. Don't care about Emacs versus vi. I don't care about Linux versus Windows. I don't care about wine versus beer, but I am a LEGO zealot through and through. I feel like any kid who hasn't put together a few LEGO sets growing up has had their brain atrophied in some subtle way. What an awesome compilation.
- behindcurtain3, on 10/12/2007, -0/+42Wow, brings back the memories of growing up
- remove, on 10/12/2007, -3/+35Sweet!
- EbenieRosa, on 10/12/2007, -2/+30Well, it's not exactly software?
My old Computer teacher used to say Hardware is "Anything you can kick" while crude, you can indeed kick a pile of Legos :) - schadenfreude56, on 10/12/2007, -4/+23I hated Knex because they always hurt my hands...And they weren't nearly as realistic looking.
- Damaos, on 10/12/2007, -5/+22Wrong spot digg me down.
- Naga10, on 10/12/2007, -6/+22Eww, no. Knex sucked. I never liked them. I was an all Legos kid.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+19dude!
- GeneralFailure0, on 10/12/2007, -1/+17We refer to each individual piece as a 'Lego brick'. Since you're usually playing with a bunch of them, we call them 'Legos'.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+14I actually remember specifically drooling over 1/8 of these sets, mostly between 1990 and 1998. Thanks.. great find.
I know I have about that many of them in a massive bin in the garage, as well. - steve693, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13Childhood nostalgia overload!!
- tagawa, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10Agreed. Our young child has recently discovered Lego. It's now as though nothing else exists in the world, even TV! We are amazed at how he can express his creativity. The only downside is his nails are getting ripped to shreds as he tries to separate the tiny blocks. That's something we all have to go through, son. You're not a man if haven't had Lego-builder nails. It's worth it in the end.
- jnosanov, on 10/12/2007, -3/+12Kinex blows. Go lego go. Long live Lego.

Please no comments about the referrer. - smb3d, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9The Facts:
This is America, we do what we want. Over here it's Legos. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -4/+12'78
- matman730, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7AND if the bricks aren't made by the Lego company, they're not Legos (something I understood even when I was 6.)
- Becky, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Not entirely sure why you're getting dugg down for asking that since it's a good question. I'd never heard the term "Legos" until an American friend used it. Over here in the UK the plural is Lego with induvidual bricks being referred to as pieces of Lego, I can't speak for the rest of europe though. IMHO both are acceptable.
- rh387, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7as soon as i saw legos, i knew this site would be down quickly
- tim7423, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8Yep I found the first "expert" set I had from 78' man made me feel old
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7' = foot, " = inch. FYI.
- digmc, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Oh the fond memories box set #241 brings. I must have been 5 or 6 years old (so that would be 1971 or '72) and remember building it with my dad on Christmas day at my Grandma's house. sigh!
- curios, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5The enthusiasm comes straight back to me.
Technique Lego rocks.
I'm buying myself a present for christmas. - Fluidity, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Very cool! I actually much prefered designing and making my own things with lego and didn't often build using these instructions but it's very cool to have them all to look at. I still want the lego top gear set though! http://www.topgear.com/content/news/stories/1430/
- reetix, on 10/12/2007, -7/+12Why do people call it "Legos"?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Bah. Everyone knows it was more fun trying to build the things that were pictured on the back of the box -- the ones that never came with instructions to begin with.
- sgu222e, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4I think it's time to dig the old collection out of storage...
- MonkeyFit, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5Yeah, early to mid-90s legos were the best sets ever. They started going downhill, but their recent creator series seems to be back on the ball. Now they just need to be making all of their series with unspecialized pieces. Those are what's killing lego.
- trylleklovn, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4The danish company, Lego, produces them, and the product name is Lego.
The name is originally a combined word of the two danish words, "Leg" (which is play in danish), and "Godt" (Which is the word "well"). Then you get: "Play Well".
The word, however, also means "put together" in Latin, although this was not known when the name was invented. - TenebrousX, on 10/12/2007, -5/+978 inch tall men never gave me legos :(
- apyoung, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4had it

- danielman94, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3The nerdy one is the one who goes and comment on something he doesn't like. Legos are fun. What is wrong with being creative? Not "cool" enough for you?
- driftless, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3This thing worked like a charm. Had a set that we lost the instructions for.
If you want faster times, go to his homepage and browse using FTP. As long as you know the model number, you're OK. - Mattman1, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Having the instructions is great, but what about all of the pieces I lost under the sofa?
- Zlatty, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Peeron is so much better ( http://www.peeron.com/ )
For example: http://www.peeron.com/cgi-bin/invcgis/scans/8880-1/?ct=1
Lugnet is still god when it comes to legos...
http://guide.lugnet.com/set/8880 - cyroxos, on 10/12/2007, -3/+6Why is Knex being dugged down, I rather enjoyed Knex myself. I spent many days making little compound bow guns that would shoot out one of the Knex shafts... those were the days.
- Louis11, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2The bigg ass alien saucer? :-)
- Shivalyn, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5Aside from the crappy load times, pretty cool site.
- justinjacobs, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Duggmirror doesn't even seem to be working. I love this resource though:
http://www.peeron.com/cgi-bin/invcgis/scans/?ct=1 - zioxide, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3woo lego
- mecole21, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3i always wanted the big castle, but every year my parents wouldnt buy it for me for xmas... damn you mom & dad, this is why im such a ***** up person today...
- Orangutan, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4http://duggmirror.com
- pmuaddib, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2OMG, I had that too. The childhood memories are flooding back in. I remember that I would eventually dismantle everything then sort it into colors and shapes so that I could build something grander. Sometimes I would spend half a day locked up in my room just building.
- deehaw, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2lego, so many good memories.
- Dmaulchris, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2 23159 page views today
- brainwashed, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2woah, what a blast from the past, excellent find.
- AngryRepublican, on 10/12/2007, -0/+21989, The Black Sea Barracuda, Box No. 6285... I got that for christmas when I was 4 and built it every year for 10 years.
And the Mega Core Megnetizer! I had one of those!! Memories...
This was the greatest link EVER. Thank you sooooo much. - greyhacker45, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2This is making me want to crack out the old LEGO sets and build something. The problem I began to run into was that I had so many pieces, I could never find the part I was hunting for. Kind of an ironic problem to have isn't it?
- TenebrousX, on 10/12/2007, -3/+5the only thing good about Knex were the roller coasters and such
