retro and cool B)

I made a bird feeder out of lego once - they had to sit on a pearch to get the nuts out... the birds didnt take to it...

this is going to sound really geeky - build it under water or it will be full of air and float
I made many a floating submarine untill it learnt that

thats actually a great tip ! never would have thought of it myself, but then again I never tried to build my lego underwater

No! this is not a good idea, I'm not sure about recent changes in the lego corporation (I gave up after they rollled out a whole bunch of new lines in 6 months, then followed that with bionicals, who knew they could make one toy in 6 colors and sell two of each to each kid, legos are different k'nex is the new budding engineer toy) anyways as recenttly as 2001 the standard lego blocks get slimey if they go in water, the boat shells that they rolled out in the early 90's can handle the water quite well but if you hold them in your hands you can tell that its a different plastic. In the fish tank the traditional legos would eventually break down because believe it or not some plastics are not waterproof. Who knows what they leech when they do, best to avoid the whole mess if you ask me.

i would have to agree with that...prolly would take quite a while to break down, but is not worth the risk to save a couple dollars...i'd rather take the chance of using driftwood i find in nearby lakes/ponds/rivers to save money

well thank goodness it's been (quite) a few years since I've outgrown my lego fase then !
