Unfortunately, I haven&#8217;t had a chance to touch a Lego set for decades now&#8230;which is a shame, because I know really cool stuff exists that can even challenge an adult. Once a year, one of my best friends, a Math major and current successful system admin for a telcom company, takes a holiday week off and purchases these super expensive Lego sets that might take him a week to put together. It&#8217;s his way of relaxing. These sets are so exclusive Lego will only send you the catalog if you request it or if you&#8217;ve ordered stuff from them before.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m a bit jealous&#8230;I just don&#8217;t have the time or the expendable funds to to pick up a fancy Lego set yet. But perhaps in a few years I can get Kingston into this kinda stuff and we&#8217;ll make it a point to build something together.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, if you&#8217;re anything of a lego or R\/C fan&#8230;.check out this <a href=\"http:\/\/gizmodo.com\/5666287\/lego-for-the-love-of-the-brick-gods-make-this-rc-tank\" target=\"_blank\">Gizmodo article on the R\/C Metal Slug<\/a> vehicle above. Video available too&#8230; so neat!\u00a0 I think I&#8217;ll send this link to my buddy and see if I can make his eyes pop out of his head.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve always been a Lego fan since I was a kid.
