I'm a Lego Maniac! (Self-Diagnosis)
I have been playing, building and learning from my Legos for many years. Legos make a perfect gift for kids, one which gets a lot of attention from them. So far, the biggest kit my kids and I have built is the Lego Y wing which contained 1500 pieces and only took about 5 hours to build. In addition my kids and I enjoy the Mindstorms NXT and RCX robots.
I have always thought Legos were great because there were no constraints on what I could build, it was left up to my imagination, but others argue that when they are sold as model kits, they tend to limit how the legos are used. I assume there are between 10,000 and 25,000 Legos in my home, my wife lets me know every time she steps on one.
When I grow up I want to be a Lego Certified Professional and a Brick Artist.
Lego Off Roader model 8297
Ages 11-16
This model has the most complex suspension that I have see yet! It is a complex build with 1,097 pieces. The power kit is used to power the winch and raise the suspension but not drive the vehicle. Gears are used to control the steering by hand and other gears move the engine pistons up and down if the vehicle is pushed. At $119, it is a cool kit My Latest Lego Projects
