They make me feel the same way but it's because I hate his voice :lol: But hey, my loss as far as his fans are concerned, right? He's got some killer hair, I'll give him that.

When I need a crooner who can make me react like this I usually go for Crime and the City Solution. They didn't make my DID cut, though for the hypesters on here their records can be really, really, really hard to find.

definitely can see that. Used to skate in the 80s playing Morissey songs in my head as much as the punk stuff. Used to get me amped and in a way still does though not as much.

They make the best toys ever designed or manufactured on this planet. EVER! Granted, they aren't what they used to be, but as long as they are still manufacturing their basic bricks, they will remain #1. :)

I am have to agree with this, LEGO rules!!!!!!!! Those late 70's early 80's space sets were the shit. Not to mention the town series back then.

Ed, is that castle the one that folded open to
have a wider face? Kinda simple horses made of
Lego, not a premade horse? If so that is an awesome set, especially if you have the little jaosting set to go with it. :). Now I gotta go build some space
sets I have in a box somewhere. :) :) :)

Nice! The yellow castle set is truly a classic. Some of my favorite sets were from the mid 80's Castle theme and the 70's-80's Town theme. Like I said before, a lot of the contemporary stuff isn't as good as that older stuff, but they still make basic bricks and if you have a good supply of them, you can reconstruct a lot of those great vintage sets.

Heh, I know. I was never a big fan of Lego though.

It was pretty expensive (and still is, at least IMO) back when I was a kid here in Brazil... and I always liked Playmobil more.

Carry on gents.

It wasn't easy to pick just one, but I'd have been giving up the ghost if all 5 slots were hers.

Yamomark, Zollmen and Shik not in any specific order. Buta gets honorable mention, and Elegab would be on the list were they putting out GID versions of all their neato sculpts for me to buy.
