Gizmodo have a video of a trip into the Lego vault that contains an unopened box of every Lego set ever created.

During the video I glimpsed some sets that I had when I was young. Mainly train lego.

Were you into lego? and if so what kind?

i never had lego... only thing similar i had as a kid was 2nd hand sets of meccano with 70% of the parts missing :P

f*** lego .. that s*** is for newbs (like console and Mac owners).

Meccano for the child-hood win with actual challenge.

bonus edit: i had meccano sets as well, but lego was way cooler

pirate lego ftw.

w00t space exploration!

OMG Lego castle, jeez my memory aint what it used to be...

i frequently do pirate lego with my 5 yo nephew.

he loves the awesome exciting stories i tell. (they s*** all over pirates of the carribean FYI)

I had a bunch of the space lego and the Western town.
Still have the town in it's original box.

Lego rawks.

My Dad made a lego movie about 15 years ago. I think I taped over it :(

What copyright reasons would mean they have to remain unopen?

that was a real flashback. Space & castles.

I can't wait till my kid(s) are old enough for lego, tried duplo a few weeks back but 1 year olds just don't get it.

The original Lego Star Destroyer they released was an epic monster of a kit - Vaguely recall people who bought it saying it took the best part of 4-5 hours to built.. I only ever saw one once at the Star Wars: Magic of Myth exhibition in Sydney about 6-7 years ago & it was huge. Not to mention bloody expensive!

A friend of mine has the Star Destroyer and Death Star kits.

Both remain boxed because they're too f***ing big and he has no room in his apartment to build them. :)

legoland dk ftw.

Shame its in the middle of f***ing no where though.

Bonus pic - lego dragon attacking a lego pirate ship at legoland dk

pirate lego ftw.

Agreed. One of my mates had a bunch of pirate stuff, the ships were badass!

I still have my electric freight train from when I was younger stashed away somewhere :D

My lego pirate ships :D

two things ruined lego: curved blocks and star wars.

you know its true.

And coloured bricked that went outside of primary and secondary colours.

And customised facial art.

And purpose built pieces.

Takes the imagination for creating new things away.. :P

all i know is i loved my train lego so much. it is all still packed away at my parents place.

it started with this train

then i electrified the tracks, and put in points, then remote control points, then lights on the train. so much fun.

haha I had that train, I recently sold it on ebay for $47 and the tracks for $40 something :)

I loved my lifting face mask for my jousting knights - is that a purpose built piece? they clipped on to heads/helmets

My bad boys

Thats an awesome video. I still remember getting the space lego they were showing there for Xmas in 1979. I still have most of it, my kids play with it now. I also the the technic lego chopper they were showing (got the box too). Lego truly is the ultimate too.

I bought this last year, f***ing rad, first lego set I bought since I was a kid.

About $250 Megabux (and that was on sale too).

I bought my first sets since I was a kid a few months back, got the indiana jones ones (not from the new movie) and this behemoth
