Why not? IZ is from the Shire and we let him speak about his adventures traveling amongst humankind.

He is so small that he uses the nails as swords. He should post up here, he saves money by living in a Lego castle.

Anyone else notice the tow strap in this pic? Would love to see the look on peoples faces as they cruised by.... Of course the clackity-clack of the motor could get annoying. :)
I used to love to play with Legos! When I was a kid my mother helped to organize a Lego building contest through the AIA for the local schools. Afterwards, we got to keep 3 Rubbermaid bins filled with every Lego you could imagine. I really liked the lego train. They are such great and simple toys... they hurt like a bit*h when you step on one though!
Do kids even still play with Legos?
Legos rule. So do Erector sets and Tinkertoys.
I'm pretty sure all three contributed to me becoming an engineer. :)

This was cool, a guy actually scanned the little Mario and generated a 3d brick diagram to build his Lego Mario:

You're never too old for Legos! [thumbsup]

+1000
And, the new legos suck - they use too many specialized pieces that look great, but can't be used for anything else, and kill a lot of creative opportunities.
