and that was so much fun!

And they were always the right scale.

….and your heart was an open book?

You used to say live and let live…..

You know you did, you know you did, you know you did….

But in this ever changing world in which we live in

Makes you give in and cry

Say live and let die……live and let die….live and let die….live and let die

I like this one:

Problem is: there's no rear wings on the thing…

Aw, one can dream…although I do have a bunch of new lego stuff, most of it's earmarked for woodwork projects (for miniatures, of course).

Shiiiiiine on you crazy diiiiiamond!!

Inverse, I had the smaller one in front. It was very cool. The probem was these were crazy expensive even when I was a kid.

The plane reminded me of this:
Right after Midway came out (my dad took me to see it in 'sense-around'…cool huh?) there was a kid down the street whose dad took him to see it too. He had the HUGE collection of Lego. He had built planes similar to those (he added tail fins, and wheels), tons of them, white & blue. He colored red spots on the white ones for Japanese and had some 'good behavior' star stickers for the US. We played Midway for six months.

you guys had legos, I had wooden blocks, castles and forts,
