Yeah, I hit that point by the time I finished assembling my fourth or fifth Exo-Toa set. Now, if someone can prove their ability to build the UCS Millennium Falcon from memory, I shall bow in amazement before that person.

@LindsayJoy:
If a guy can't accept that, toss him back.

@-Core-:
Do you mean sets #8285 (Tow Truck) and #8288 (Crawler Crane)? Your "insane reason" would be the fact that they were both released in 2006, and LEGO sets don't stay in production forever. Typically, the lifespan of a set is about 6-12 months before it'll disappear from store shelves, and eventually even LEGO S@H will clear out their lingering stock by discounting them. The rare exceptions are oddball stuff like the UCS Star Destroyer, which has been available on S@H for about 5.5 years now, and very generic stuff like green baseplates, which have been sold in some form or another, unchanged, for decades (even road plates have gone through several complete redesigns).

I could say things here...but I wouldn't want to embarass a certain someone that I know. :)

]]> <![CDATA[How to Love a LEGO Lunatic]]> I'm trying to relive my "Lego love" through my boys (3 with 5th kid on the way), but yesterday I was vacuuming out the food encrusted mini-van and almost sucked up a mini-fig stormtrooper helmet.

Needless to say, they're on Lego probation now and relegated to Playmobil for the moment. (and completely out of the will)

]]> <![CDATA[How to Love a LEGO Lunatic]]> Great blog! I can fully relate :)

Although the gf doesn't seem to mind the town based stuff and even helps out a bit.

My fascination [Obsession] with these little bricks, has inspired me to work on a brick based video game. Very early taste at whitehexagon.com

]]> <![CDATA[How to Love a LEGO Lunatic]]> Jesus is a lucky, lucky man (and I'm pretty sure he knows it). Addy, this is great. I think all wives and girlfriends of *insert dorky thing here*-obsessed guys should read this or at least be given a copy at the beginning of the relationship. I think we could save a lot of marriages.

On a side note, saw Eddie Izzard last week here in Philly and he was hilarious. Better show than the last few I'd say.

]]> <![CDATA[How to Love a LEGO Lunatic]]> I hope I will marry a woman like you one day.

Of course my thing is not lego, so she should be a bit better dealing with obsessed people then you.

You know what, I`ll have her contact you when I find a suitable candidate.

]]> <![CDATA[How to Love a LEGO Lunatic]]> LEGO can be great for a marriage.

Check out the LEGO catalog. You can buy a whip (part #4161403). You can buy chains (part #4512049). Hell it's even got some bush (part #4211622). That is, if you're into cherry picking (item #8292).

]]> <![CDATA[How to Love a LEGO Lunatic]]> Addy- you are smarter and funnier than you have to be writing about nerdy gadget stuff, and for that we thank you. Also, I'm going to make my own wife read this, since it makes me look almost reasonable by comparison. Also, I'm very jealous of your residing in Madrid, that metropole of jamon and tauromachy.

Somebody in my building saw me playing with my son in the corridor and gave me a miniature Lego kit to give to him. He said his Mom still gives him Lego kits.

Needless to say, I ended up building it myself. P3nnst8r- do you live down the hall from me in Brooklyn?

]]> <![CDATA[How to Love a LEGO Lunatic]]> @LindsayJoy: haha yeah I mean usually when I comment i read the entire thing of course otherwise there isn't much of a point, but I was at work and I was skimming through the entire article so I didn't get a chance to really sit and read all of it.

Thanks much for making me believe in gizmdo again! haha :)

]]> <![CDATA[How to Love a LEGO Lunatic]]> @carmen89:

People can be so mean here.

I made the same kinds of small mistakes. And even though it says "Eddie Izzard" in the article, it is not totally clear from how it was worded.

Also, even though they've posted this video several times before, it always winds up being on a Lego or Star Wars related post which may not suit your fancy, and therefore you may not have read it, even though you visit quite often. Which his pea-brain may not be able to understand.

Keep commenting, have fun, and un-fuck the douchebags by enjoying yourself endlessly.

Your list is just great, Addy. I can hardly wait for my wife to get home so I can pull her into my un-vacuumed den past the tote of Lego I just got to see it!

My wife recently had to sit through four nights of me sitting on the floor sorting Lego pieces from non-Lego pieces for a couple of hours while we watched TV.

I was at work and really couldn't look around too far into it and screw you I asked an innocent question and the guy underneath you was polite enough to respond, thank you! By the way your nickname should be eriksadouchebag. :)

]]> <![CDATA[How to Love a LEGO Lunatic]]> @nicjasno: Pretty cool stuff man. I always wanted to get back into lego technic like your doing. I have noticed that the Big Wrecker and the Large Track crane is not available state side through lego.com for some insane reason.

]]> <![CDATA[How to Love a LEGO Lunatic]]> Addy,

You are always a joy to read and certainly one of the most literate bloggers out there. It is refreshing.

]]> <![CDATA[How to Love a LEGO Lunatic]]> Oh, and just to be clear, I wanted to say that I've needed this guide in the past to give to someone else.

If a guy does not get grown men playing with LEGOs, they really don't get grown gals that play with LEGOs.

]]> <![CDATA[How to Love a LEGO Lunatic]]> Oy? Seriously, oy?

Also, I used to be the hero of my ex's nephew. For some inexplicable reason, my brain has partially memorized some LEGO assembly diagrams. I can build some of the first edition LEGO fortresses from scratch. Same goes for some of the Bionicle robots (which said nephew got as presents when we visited).

...

Although I suppose the hero part comes from the fact that I flip pancakes in the air...

]]> <![CDATA[How to Love a LEGO Lunatic]]> I remember my fanaticism for LEGO peaking when i was in 5th or 6th grade. Almost every day i would go to my friend's after school and we'd create a little LEGO world of our own (he had like every set imaginable). We set up a town over the course of the next year or two that basically covered a 10x15 room. Those were the best years of my life, recreating pirate battles, recovering crashed planes off the coast, etc.

Although my intensity with LEGO bricks have waned, i still get a small kit from my mom every year at Christmas.

]]> <![CDATA[How to Love a LEGO Lunatic]]> Since I am a LEGO fanatic, I most likely will one day use this guide, and I thank you!

But in my wildest dreams, I will find someone that loves LEGO as much as I do, that I actually love.

Sigh.

Aren't Jesus and Addy just the coolest couple in the world right now? Married young techno-bloggers. They're the F. Scott and Zelda of the 21st century, which is very cool or very depressing, depending on how you feel about true love and American literature.
