Did you play with "LEGO" when you were a kid?

[seonadancing]

Shortly after going through this thread, I got invited to join the Philippine Bricksters club. If anyone is interested they are on multiply at philbricksters.multiply.com.

[testament11]

[pajerokid]

wawa naman si 'lil Kim

[ryan_pogi]

yes i did play with LEGOs.
no, i dont have them anymore.
before sa giftgate sa harizon plaza manila (80's), libre palaruan.
i had a big firestation set (yung kulay yellow yung bldg), a big spaceship set (yung nabubukas yung likod at me mini car), and a lot of mini sets..
wala lang, nasira lahat. kasi me & my brother love to build a big truck, tapos bungguan. pinaka matibay at hindi masira, panalo :lol:.

[gretzy]

yeah, nakalagay sa box na may gulong korteng truck, pinabili ko pa un sa states kay santa. :mrgreen:

[Tifosi]

Ako rin! Ang dami ko ring Lego nun. Meron akong pirate ship tsaka 2 castle hehehe :D Galit na galit ako't naiiyak ako nung Grade 4 ako nang naabutan ko yung pirate ship ko na nasa sahig at kalas-kalas

Now I don't know where they are. Mahanap nga :?

[boybi]

una kong lego yung free pag nag open ng kiddie account sa banco filipino :wink:

tapos, wala na pala. yun lang, dalawang tao ng lego.

[DonT]

Yup i did. Sabi ng parents ko..it was probably one of the reasons why I become an engineer. I don't think so.

Pero I did enjoy playing with it.

[yebo]

naglaro ako pero hindi sa akin. binilihan kasi yung kapitbahay namin na kalaro ko (mayaman sila) pero zero mechanical aptitude e, so tinawag ako ng nanay niya kasi umiiyak na siya at hindi nya mabuo. kilalang siraniko kasi ako sa amin hehehehe! fire truck with firehouse yung set if i remember right. nuon lang ako nakakita ng lego so tuwang-tuwa ako. gabi na ayaw ko pa umuwi kasi pagkatapos ko buuin yung fire truck saka firehouse e kinalas ko ulit at iba naman ang ginawa ko. sinundo pa ako ng tatay ko para ako umuwi. ask ko siya kung pwede nya ako ibili ng lego, wala daw kami pera. poor lang e, lam nyo na hirap ng buhay. next day andun ulit ako. and the next... nagsawa lang ako nung nagkaron ng service car si erpats (international scout). so yun na pinaginteresan ko na kalasin. yun lang nga bigay agad ng warning si erpats, di ko daw pwede open ang hood at tinago nya pati ang tool box nya hahahaha! grade 4 yata ako nun. hangang tingala na lang ako sa ilalim ng makina, nakakatulog pa nga ako dun e hehehehe! kaya heto hangang ngayon siraniko pa din.

yung little brother ko (16 lang siya ngayon) binilihan ko ng madaming lego nung maliit pa siya. naka-6 sets yata siya basta madami. ngayon nasa plastic box na lang, wala nang buo at dami na nawala. mga anaks ko mahilig din sa lego, kaso maliliit pa di pa pwede kaya yung big lego lang muna. pag nagkaron ako ng anak na lalaki kahit isang truck ng lego bibilhin ko.

it was my life back then, then one day i shifted to real life construction.

[inday25er]

Oh yes. :smiley:

Before I knew of Lego, I played with Barbie. Nung may Lego na ako, ginawan ko siya ng bahay.

At dahil hindi naman marami yung Lego ko, maliit lang yung bahay niya. Pero maganda yung bahay na ginawa ko kasi pag hiniga mo, meron na rin siyang ...


... kabaong.

[mommyblue]

i had tons of it before and i'm planning to buy some for my baby if she's already old enough to play with it..

Slightly OT: Is there even a Lego Club there in Manila? Somebody contacted me a few months back about establishing a Lego club there. I won't disclose his name but when I was there last June to August, I contacted him back and wanted to meet possibly talk Lego's, etc, but I never heard from him ever since so we weren't able to establish anything.

For those who want to join clubs here in southern California there'll be another Lego meet on December 8th. You can join the Lego Users Group Of Los Angeles (basically all of southern California na rin) called LUGOLA - they have a Yahoo group too. Debating whether or not I will join their meeting this time, wala pa ako nagagawa recently. I'll post pics if I do - maybe inspire those who plan to join.

[CVT]

Yes I did, pero hindi sa akin. Sa mga pinsan ko....

I don't think that there's a Lego Club in the Philippines yet, if there was, I would have been a member already. Lego got discontinued in the country for a while due to poor sales and limited outlet, but now that Giftgate is not the sole distributor already, it's pretty much available in most toy stores now. I think sales is better now since I check the people buying when I buy Lego sets. I wish that they would open a Lego retail store here. Meron bang gustong mag invest dyan? =)

I had just two sets of my own and they were pretty small. Incidentally the bigger one was of a car.

I also remember playing with Lego bricks at my dad's dentist's clinic in EDSA. A neat way of keeping little tots' attention while their folks are on the chair.

I wish I could pero wala ako $ to start it ... an informal Lego club would be possible though!!

Here's my gallery though

Seonadancing you have nice models, I'll be in Manila January 17th until March. Let me know if you want to meet up. Gusto ko baunin yung Lego models ko, if you want to meet up I will bring them. Currently I only have five 1:24 scale cars built, nothing more. The gallery is just full of my other previous and the current models so collection lang ng pics yan.

Eto lang ang currently existing, pero kakalasin ko na yung wagon and the black coupe in favor of two more car models from one of the Top Gear episodes (season 10 episode 4 when they went to Africa to drive the cars across the desert - with the Lancia Beta Coupe and the Opel Kadett A "Oliver" alongside the Merc 230E)

The Ferrari 288 GTO is missing from the pic but here are the rest:


Nice to see a fellow Brickhead like me here on Tsikot!

[JohnM]

Had quite a few sets as gifts. Ilang beses din kami nag-away ng mga kapatid ko dahil nagaagawan ng mga "rare" parts hehe.

Pangarap ko talaga ang Technik mahal nga lang Mindstorm naman ngayon.

[LadyRider]

I still do have my LEGO toys! Before, when I was still working, I usually set aside 5,000.00 pesos to add more for my collection. But now ang dami na kaya I stopped buying na! (hehehehe) Ipapamana ko na lang sa mga anak ko in the future! Unless someone here makes a good deal for me kung gusto ninyo bebenta ko na lang sa inyo? (hehehehe)
