Stickle bricks where a bit naff really
You can't make much out of them.

Lego was fun too. Lego Technics especially
I made a remote controlled programmable ROBOT!

nerd
i loved lego. but would generally spend hours making some kind of base or something and then i would to go home for tea. if i had the money i would have a huge lego room full of lego minifigs and bricks and none of that star wars lego crap.

must be a brighton thing.
could you program a lego robot to give handjobs ? mmm... bricky. you'd deffo get in the newsletter with that.
( connor, Sun 29 Jun 2008, 16:43, archived)

Probably not, the motors aren't too strong
But I could knock up a fake in After Effects quite easily.

Next time I need to promote something via the newsletter I'll keep it in mind

Did you not see the person who posted that comic here with the lego prostitute?
"I may not be able to spread my legs but for 50 bucks I'll give you the best damn handjob you've ever had..."

My lad has lego mindstorms

Bluetooth lego, bot in my day!

BLUETOOTH?!
Bloody hell, it's moved on since my robot. I programmed it via COM port :D

STICKLE BRICKS!
Awesome! *glees*
( WiL can take it all!, Sun 29 Jun 2008, 16:29, archived)

I was full of glees that they still exist
as I discovered whilst searching for source pics :)
( Bryan Damage, Sun 29 Jun 2008, 16:33, archived)

So much friendlier than Lego or Meccano,
tho not nearly such clean lines, but awesome for making animals and such!

What are they?
Everyone here is talking about them, but I don't know what they are.



EDIT: I like the pic, too. How rude. Woo!
( Killerkitti You look so dumb and you sound so twee., Sun 29 Jun 2008, 16:35, archived)

They're the bricks in the picture
They're like, err, cubes of plastic with soft "prickles" on them, which you can use to connect them to other bricks.

Structures built with them were not particularly durable.
( cr3stmas is highly scalable, Sun 29 Jun 2008, 16:38, archived)

So like soft Legos?




I wish I had lots of Legos still. :[

They need to make more modular stuff.
Except not just toys and crappy robots, actual decent stuff which you can just swap all the parts round and customise it.

Where is my modular computer you bastards? WHERE?
(Jeru War and Piss, Sun 29 Jun 2008, 16:42, archived)

Err, computers ARE modular.

LIES!
I'll believe you when I put eight processors in my computer and they actually fit in instead of being incompatible and unsupported by the motherboard.
(Jeru War and Piss, Sun 29 Jun 2008, 16:50, archived)

Get a better motherboard.

Sorrrrrrt of, but they didn't stay together very well in my experience
It's the poor man's lego, and the bricks were much larger and in different shapes.

Sort of like a "My First Lego".
( cr3stmas is highly scalable, Sun 29 Jun 2008, 16:43, archived)

Oooooh.
We have these things kinda like that, they're big square things with letters on them, and you connect them to make like...squareforts, and alphabet mats.

ANIMALS?!
The geometric, spiked camel?
The pointy square penguin?
The short haired rectangular woodfinch?

*edit* Am I being too harsh on your inner child?
( Letum Spack Monkey, Sun 29 Jun 2008, 16:37, archived)

I liked making animals!
What can I tell ya? Rabbits were my fave.

Somehow more tactilely rewarding than lego
But not as able on the construction front.
