I found an old Lego round canister that's about 15/20 inches tall from the 50's or 60's that was more than half filled with Lego's from that era.

The only thing it's missing is the lid. It's very cool to see the old style packaging that companies no longer use.

Today you get everything in cheap flimsy boxes but not back then. This is pure sheet metal and has lasted through 4 or 5 decades.

TWB and I went to a model train show a couple years ago and there was a really cool Lego train layout with some historical Detroit buildings all done in Legos. One even had a dragon perched atop it.

And one more picture it wouldn't let me upload.

so I'm reading this morning's Free Press' travel section, and lo and behold, there's an article that mentions a LEGO convention in Chicago. It's called Brickworld and it's there in June.

Anyoe remember American bricks,I had a set that came in one of those cardboard cylinders back in the 1970s

They were awesome as well,just not as advanced,but still fun.

I like this guys model he built

I don't 'remember' American Bricks--I say so because they were not in manufacture at the time of my first acquaintance with them. However, I am familiar with them. My mom has a shoebox full of the original American Bricks, which were made of pressed cardboard (uncorrugated). The windows and doors and roofing tiles were the same plastic construction used in the more recent sets.

How did I go so long without seeing this thread? Legos are so awesome! Not only can you build the toy on the box but you can build an infinite amount of others with the pieces. Your only limited by your amagination. But damn have they become pricey over the years. Im a huge Star Wars nut as most of you know and the Star Wars Lego sets cost a small fortune.
