I Love Lego
Growing up, I'd always loved building and using my imagination to create, well anything. I remember having some kind of Malibu Beach building block dream house, in our house. It was probably my sister's and most likely Mega Blocks. However I played with it the most, G.I Joe, Batman....They needed a base of operation! Don't you judge me.
The thing is, I'd always sworn by Lego my friend's had some of the coolest Lego sets and just plain tubs of blocks to build this, and that with. I had a pale full of hand-me down Legos that were hand-me downs from my older siblings. I was the after-thought baby. Most of my siblings are 20 years my senior, while the closest to be is 6 years older ( I digress). However I'd had things to build with, and my parents probably didn't have tons of extra cash around. I've always been the child that asked for things I needed more than just wanted. I figured, when I grew up, and got older I'd have money to buy my own lego. Ahhh, the joys and innocence of youth.
Then I grew up, I knew more about the value of a dollar and the cost of life. My money started going from my savings to education, and pitching in at home where I could by getting groceries. I'm on a very tight student budget, with student loans. However one day I'll get me some Lego.
I got my very first set of Lego my Freshman year of College. I was invited to a Christmas Party and that was what I'd ended up with at the end of one of those party/ secret Santa number game things. There was a $10 limit on gifts. It was a simple Lego Creator 3-in-1 plane Toy. I played with it for hours, It was the first set that was Mine. It wasn't a hand-me down or previously loved. I still have 1.5 to 2 years left of college, hopefully I'll land a good job in the field.
Since I'm a dreamer. I'm going to list my Top 5 Lego related things, The one's I'd pick If I could have them today.
1. My First choice would be a Lego Millennium Falcon, Han Solo will always be my favourite Star Wars Character. I used to play in my closet when I was really little and pretend it was my ship. This would be so cool to build and it'd hold a place in my heart.
2. Poe's X-Wing Fighter, I finally saw The Force Awakens. Poe might just be my second favourite Pilot in Galaxy Far Far Away. This also looks like a fun little ship to build. Should of seen some of my " Well I Tried" creations for an X-Wing back in the Day.
3. The Avengers might just be one of my favourite series of Movies, Tv shows and Comic Books. Iron Man and Hawkeye are my favourite characters of Time. The Avengers Tower would not only be an amazing build but look awesome as a decorative piece in my Bedroom.
4. Lego Architecture New York City. This has to be one of favourite places in the United States. New York is home to some of the richest and most authentic Italian Pizza outside of Italy. The culture, and restlessness of the city our Beautiful and I'd love to have a piece of the city at home.
5. Last but not least the Lego Avengers video game. I've never had much in the way of Video Games. However for the past couple years I've received a Lego video game at Christmas. I fell in Love with Lego Batman 2, and this year I got Lego Marvel Super Heroes. I usually wait a couple years and then tell my parents to get the recycled versions for Christmas. However this game is something that I'd love in my collection. Since a PS4 is going to have to wait for 5 years before I own one, a PS3 copy would have to do.
There you have it, my Top 5 Lego Picks.
