Visiting the Secret LEGO Vault

By Robert Birming in Toy & Video Games, Video Clips on Jun 24, 2008 at 7:39 am


Gizmodo has published a video from their visit to LEGO’s Memory Lane – a “secret vault guarding almost every Lego set ever manufactured”.

…the impressive view of the 4,720 Lego sets inside this lair. These weren’t just simple boxes full of bricks. These were tickets to ride a time portal to emotions and simpler days long forgotten.

    After the apocalypse, when your ordinary Joe is donning the "Leather and Feathers" a la Mad Max, and fighting over gazoline, this is where I'll be going.

    Ah yes, one big box of assorted legos, some polyhedrals left over when D&D lost it's excitement, and 8-hours of otherwise unproductive summer vacation time...

    I miss old-style Lego Technics. Sure, the new pieces are fancy and all, but the old ones were much easier to be spontaneously creative with. I do recognize a bunch of old sets in the video, some with much sentimental value for me :P I wonder where all that Lego I played with is now..

    The great thing about being a eunuch is enjoying things like a kid. I don't get as distracted by the more lascivious aspects of it. I wonder if some of the people in this district have done this life-changing and wonderful operation.

    Wow, I had the starship and the rocket they were showing... I spend so many hours playing with those.

    I miss that innocent time ; I don't mind my balls neither...
