LEGO

[Deszaras]

While I do hav4e an awful lot of lego {A large box full} I never did keep them in there original configurations and I've not not really touched the stuff in years.

I did however enjoy the old Slizers line and some of the bionicle figures. Again these have been reconfigured into different forms. Heres a pic for you:-

For about 4 years I was a pretty hardcore collector of the Lego Star Wars series. I had to stop once they started releasing to fricking many for the newer movies and once money got a little tight, but I still have some of my older ones. My absolute favorite was the original Millenium Falcon (the play set, not the fancy display version or the 2.0 play set they released later). It was pretty (ok, really really) fragile, but everything inside had quite a few details, it came with a bunch of figures, and it was a blast to build!

I actually think I'm going to dig them out this spring break and put it back together. It should be twice the challenge, since all the pieces are mixed in together. XP

Hey nice to see you OS

[Octane]

well, seeing as how this is a Transformers forum, I figured I'd try my hand at something:

Whirl!








Robot Mode:





Yes, it's fully transformable. The only part that needs to be removed is the little black antenna (lego guy hand) on the side of his head.

P.S. sorry for the hairs in the picture...we have many dogs and cats running around

thats awesome!!!!!!! did it take long to make?

[Octane]

thats awesome!!!!!!! did it take long to make?

Thanks! And it took me yesterday evening to make. I actually had a G1 Whirl next to me while making it (even though it doesn't transform EXACTLY the same way.)

I've made other "variable mecha" in a similar fassion, but almost exclusively macross-like planes. I can post pictures of one of those, if you want.

Nice job!

@ Octane: Fantastic. Reminds me heaps of the Convertors Whirl.

BTW, does anybody here know Tente blocks? They were just one more of those who copied Lego, but they were much sleeker and they had in the 80s a line of transforming robots called Roblock... Some Google-Fu will give you an idea.

Jose,

I just noticed your post and practised some of my (admittedly limited) google-fu.
I got real interested and I thought others might be too, so here's a linked pic of (some of?) Tente Roblocks.

edit_ I had to link to the google-pic as the full original sadly wouldn't load as a link.

Jose,

[Taskmaster99]

kinda late to this thread...but I am also a LEGO junkie. Just finished building the new Death Star and the motorized AT-AT. I will have to post pics when i get a chance.

[Galvatron]

Octane, that Whirl looks really good. I like that

Jose,

Yes. They were made in Spain and seems they weren't too popular abroad, although I have seen them for sale in non (officially) speaking countries like England, USA, Canada, Germany.

I had four Roblocks when I was a kid; now they all went to a friend's collection who is into Tente.

Nevertheless, if you needed some help with a quick translation, feel free to drop me an email!
