Lego - the Number 1 Manufactururer of Tires Worldwide

[RagingSamster]

"Tire production accounts for some of that number; the factory also produces 306 million tiny rubber tires a year. In fact, going by that number, LEGO is the world's No. 1 tire manufacture"

Cool read on legos .

Team St*ke proudly endorses Legos.

One of my all time favorite toys that actually survived and I still have.....

Team St*ke's current work project:

Designing a scale model of Stang's boobs with Legos. Even at scale, we're still looking a massive amount of Legos...

Fortunately, he is now able to design them on the computer and have the bricks sent to his house for assembly.

Way back when I was working at the furniture plant and using AutoCad on a daily basis, we had a guy working in there that had just taken a class on 3D modeling. He spent the last 2 weeks of his employment there working on a 3D wire frame (and later rendered) drawing of a nicely proportioned and lovely shaped set of bewbs..... It was awesome.

True Story.

Although Legos have a special place in my childhood, my favorite is still Lincoln Logs, it was the first "building blocks" type toy I had and excelled in awesomeness. Give lil sammy a barrel of Lincoln logs and you can leave for the day.

That was me with Legos. Give me them little plastic bricks and I was good to go all day long....

I have to agree that Lincoln Logs are one of my favs, love Lego's too. But I think because it was my grandparents who had the Lincoln Logs for us to play with when we visited, I always associate summer vacation and grandpa's pancakes with Lincoln Logs; I can almost smell that Lincoln Logs smell opening the lid.

I was young enough that I can remember Lincoln logs taste! /gnaw gnaw gnaw

[Stang]

Lincoln logs and Tinker toys is what I think they were called, straws with the wood circle with holes, could keep myself occupied making houses for my dolls or barbies .

I saw a large drum of Lincoln Logs at Costco and wanted to get them for my nephews but think they will need an extra year before getting them.

LEGO's rule!!!

My 28 year old brother still actively collects Legos. If asked he will proudly boast the EXACT number of individual pieces he has and how long he's been collecting. I personally don't remember, but its well into the millions.

Millions?????? WoW!!


I have 4 blocks and they are all the same color.... I'm sad!

[Banne]

How does one count the number of lego blocks he has?

[Stoke]

I'm willing to bet that there is an Excel Spreadsheet involved.
