Ooh, ooh! COLORING BOOKS!
Seriously, my roommates and I are going to have coloring books and art supplies in our common room this year, for de-stressing purposes.
YES! Coloring books are awesome! And so are children’s lands.
Part of one of my science classes involves coloring books as homework.
We should all totally create a fantastic kid-land (you know, our own Narnia/Terbithia thingy).
Dibs on designing the geography of it!
Darn you.
Well, then, I do the characters. But someone else gets to draw them, I can’t draw.
Ooh, who wants to name it?
I get dibs on writing some of the country’s history!
I get some, too!
I say… Miragia.
The land of Miragia. Its western and northern parts are bordered by sea, the south by an impenetrable desert, and the east by a great forest. The north is naturally coldest, though the land of Miragia is temperate. The capital of Arn is in the center of the kingdom on the great river Boreon. The west of the country is for the most part plains and fields. The east and north are forest.
I love giant robots that wear sunglasses.
Lego’s…. <3
I like LEGO, Gargoyles, action figures, trading cards, dinosaurs, aliens, Doctor Who (it was a weird thing for a small child to like before it was popular again), princesses, magic, birds, people with wings, massively oversized swords, children’s TV and pretty dresses.
Lego is freakin’ awesome. Way better than playmobil.
I like Gargoyles, Power Rangers, Jurassic Park (I was terrified), and Japanese RPGs.
Japanese RPGs aren’t childish!
Barret says naughty words!
Oooh.
I’m going to go sit in my closet and try to get to Narnia!
I used to cut out paper dolls and build giant paper houses for them on big art sheets of paper. Of course, I was only five, so architechturally they weren’t great. No hallways.
Oh, and I used to play with my stuffed animals…I failed biology too. (Snowy my Himalayan cat and Blackie the black lab are married. Teehee)
I made up a secret magical world with my stuffed animals. And then all of a sudden, I thought I was too old and didn’t.
I miss it. It’s sad.
I used to make cut-out 3D net things of pterosaurs out of paper and stuff them with crumpled tissues. It wasted so many school resources, but it was so much fun!
I still like Pokemon, despite the fact that the franchise was murdered by the time they released RSE.
Someone shoot me
Pokemon, Dragonball Z and any other old school anime!
Lego, too. And books. And Super Smash Brothers for the N64.
I used to sit in the closet and hold entire conversations with an imaginary Mr. Tumnus. My sister always got mad that she was younger but I got to be Lucy. Then, of course, I turned into a total Susan…
Count me in the colouring book love.
I want to draw pictures of everyone in Miragia now. I’m just… not that good, though.
Who cares? It’s fun!
Legos! Ooh, legos, how I miss thee…. greatest thing is having an excuse to play with them.
“This lego castle? Oh, I built it for my nephew….”
I never knew the price…. but yowch.
Wowww.
A whole ten cents for those tiny things? Five cents per small, model-size ones, and ten cents each for the chunky ones, like the ones I had.
Ohhh. Five cents each for the small ones. That’s ok then. I thought he meant ten cents per small one… ick.
I think he did mean 10 cents per, as an ideal price. I was expressing my outrage.
It’s sets like these that I love Lego for.
Oh my gosh. I had that as a five or six or seven year old!
Man, there was this child-care place I used to stay on Saturdays when I was a kid that had the most massive collection of duplos ever, and this big table thing with a duplo surface. Made some pretty epic structures.
Hell, who am I kidding? I still do that….
So do I, so do I.

I wish Narnia existed. D:
Oh man, duplos rocked!
I used to have a set of these!
Magic exists. Yes, yes it does!
I wish Narnia existed. D:
I…used to write letters to that owl in the silver chair asking him to take me to Narnia. In my defense, my dad read it to me when I was all of five, so I think that’s an excuse. Then again, he read LotR when I was six, and I definitely didn’t write to Gandalf.
I had that exact same marble run!
More awesome LEGO sets:
Indigo Island:
Dark Dragon’s Den:
Skull Island:
Interstellar Explorer:
Spyrian robot whose name I’ve forgotten:
I still play with Lego’s occasionally. I have my masterpiece though, a spaceship.
I make stuff out of black legos. I made a house for a guy called Headless Harry.
All the originals lego sets were the best, for money value and play value. These days lego is just copying old themes and making them worse, like Rock Raiders into Power Miners, and Life on Mars into Mars Mission. Also, the first Bionicles were the best. D:
Yeah I remember the first bionicles.
The cowboy sets were the best, I remember when me and Sly used to play with these:
Johny Thunder was also awesome, but now they’ve got Indiana Jones (whom I don’t like as a lego D: .)
We still have this guy:
I remember when Lego Club Magazine called him Sam Grant, and also nagging my parents constantly until they bought me the big pyramid sphinx set for Christmas.
I loved Rock Raiders! We had the PC game, and the one with the light-up laser!
I liked how they did those little comic strips with the Rock Raiders and Star Wars sets.
Of those sets I posted, I only had the fifth. I eventually got the first years after they stopped selling it, and still mean to buy the others eventually.
I had the medieval one, complete with a lego Robin Hood. It was AWESOME.
Johny Thunder > Indiana Jones. Had to say it. Anyway, Lego bricks were basically my entire childhood. And then I moved on to computers where I still put things together using little tiny bricks of code. :D
Eh. Computer not as awesome as legos. I used to want to be an architect when I was very little, because I loved the legos so much. Then I found out about all the math involved, and….
I’ve wanted to learn coding for a while, but it’s coding. Difficult. Where would I start? How? Who? etc.
I love motorizing my lego’s, cars, helicopters ect. I just have to add a motor to them. :D

Read _why’s (poignant) guide to ruby. It is absolutely the most fun you could have while learning programming. I’ll help out if needed. :-)
I never got much into Lego sets because all the characters were guys. I was at the age where boys still had cooties.
Yeah that sucks, all the girl sets they make are just ridiculous.
54 pieces for 20 dollars? Really?
WHYYYYYY?!!! WHYYYY must “girl” versions of things be pink and have ponies! WHYYYYY?!!!!!
sigh
Actually, I was a fairly stereotypical girl when I was little, playing with Barbies and stuffed animals and my pink dollhouse. Of course, this is assuming that stereotypical girls play “war” with the evil Barbies oppressing the good Fisher-Price dollhouse dolls. The Barbies, being larger, almost won every time… but in the nick of time, the dollhouse dolls’ giant friend (my stuffed horse named Midnight. It was black-colored. I was seven. What can I say?) arrived to save the day.
I built a three foot long aircraft carrier when I was.. ten? It was fun.
Sweeeet.
My Barbies almost all eventually ended up headless. I’m not sure exactly how/why I did that…..heh.
On the other hand- playing dress up. Best. Thing. EVER!
I have a obsession of making human-like Bionicle figures. >.>
I was a stereotypical girl. I think I still am, in some ways. Not really in others. :D
I used to have a set of these!
I did, too! I loved my marble rollers!
My Barbies almost all eventually ended up headless. I’m not sure exactly how/why I did that…..heh.
My Barbies were rarely used, so their hair inevetibly became tangled. It was only when I got older that I started dressing them up. I would dress them up and have fashion shows, complete with tiny little pieces of paper on thread for medals and certificates and trophies made of paper… I was really into little delicate things.
I really want a dollhouse with dolls that fit. One day, I will buy an old, awesome dollhouse, a real one, not those disgusting plastic things.
I WANT. NOW.
I. WANT. NOW. TOO.
Is so pretty!
It was Queen Mary’s, apparently.
See, this is why it’s good to be a princess. You get freaking fantastic dollhouses!

I am, like the White Rabbit, always late to reply. Thank you.
I love Lego. I am a Star Wars freak, so I have a lot of Star Wars Lego sets. I got them when I was about six, so I wanted to build the alternate sets. Of course, I never finished them, so they lay around in pieces for a long time. Two years ago I decided to rebuild them, so now I have complete Lego sets.(almost) My favorate set is my X-wing. The one that had Biggs and the maintaince guy. I also have the Y-wing and Tie Advance, which they don’t make anymore.
Also, the first Bionicles were the best
Oh yes, but I only have Kopeka and Lewa, and they’re both missing pieces.
I got a few of the Johnny Thunder sets, but they are all in pieces.
The Rock Raiders were awesome. I have the Base(reassembled) the Granite grinder, and a few others all dissassembled.
I know I’m late on the Legos, and I’m Going on and on, and I’m stopping now.
I stopped paying attention to Bionicle when I realised how impossible it was to follow the storylines and keep up with the latest range of models…
Ditto.^^
I stopped paying attention to Bionicle after that stupid Hordika arc.
Silly LEGO tie-in sets.
Are they going to team up to make X-men Lego sets? Three tie-ins for the price of one!
My little brother and I used to hunt for fairy tunnels (sometimes the snow melts into a tunnel shape, or a mouse or something makes a tunnel). We had such fun…
Also, killing spider egg sacs by burying them in snow. There’s a lot you can do with snow…
My friends and I made an entire Lego city once. We all had families and houses, and we made a restaurant, a hospital, a school, a play place, and a bunch of other stuff.
My sister and I built and acted out a Lego version of some mystery story once… it was back in the day when we were obsessed with the Hardy Boys and Trixie Belden, no doubt. It was rawther a lot of fun, and I wish I could remember the actual story… meh, it probably sucked anyway.
Best set ever.
I was sick once, and I did those LEGO playsets. I had a couple of Harry Potter ones.
I was feeling nostalgic, and this is the best thread to post in… anyone else remember Wishbone? It’s what got me into books at first… all the stories, with an adorable doggie in costumes! :D
What’s the Story, Wishbone?
Wow. I remember that show. The real problem was that they had to cut the stuff from the books down to maybe 15 minutes to fit it in with the non-book story, usually to the detriment of the book. I remember the episode about The Odyssey, and they cut it down to the last bit of the story.
But…but…
Whosa good doggie? Yousa good doggiewoggie! Whosa bwave, bwave Wobin Hood doggie?
It was a good introduction into the classics for kids; I remember begging for the books after each new episode. Luckily my parents believed in regular trips to Half Price Books :D
Half Price Books was boss.
Ahem
IS boss. Christmas shopping in one stop FTW!
Oh, didn’t realize it was still around. I guess not hearing the jingles when I stopped living near Austin/stopped listening to the radio probably led me to assume the worst.
Well, it’s still here in Indiana… we loves our HPB. So, so much. My local one has names on all the book carts, such as “Magna Carta” and “Cart Vader”. Also, they have, on multiple occasions, played the LOTR soundtracks while I’ve been shopping there.
