Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler Proving I'm a nerd

Nice collection, my son has many of those Star Wars items as well, but now is freaking out next to me looking at these pictures.

He has lots of Indiana Jones stuff, as well as the Police Station, etc..

My favorite lego creations as a kid were the ones that resulted from The Great Lego Consolidation of 1980-something. We mixed all of the legos into a couple different bins and my brother and I would sit at a table and build for hours.

Hmm, makes me want to take out my rather substantial Lego collection and see if i can build some Speakers from them

I don't think any movie has ever truly recreated the feeling I had as a kid as when the Star Destroyer just going and going and going past the screen in the first Star Wars movie. Pretty sure it's the first time my jaw dropped

I think they got close with Empire and the Super Star Destroyer.

Or when the SSD hit the Death Star in RotJ. That was awesome.

I like me some Super Star Destroyers.

I like the steampunk legos.

Am I the only one who doesn't understand how the steampunk meme came to be?

I had no idea what this was, but thanks to the magic of Google I now have a better idea! Wikipedia offers an explanation for the origin of "steampunk."
