Lego Club (When you were a kid)

Kintarō Hattori · 30-06-2006 2:20am #1

Did anyone ever join the lego club when they were younger? I remember being really impressed by it as a kid because they sent you out an impressive birthday and christmas card every year, as well as a letter from the owner of the company, along with a magazine and various stickers and patches. There was more too, but it's been so long I can't remember.
It was free too, and I remember they kept sending me stuff for years and years, but then they stopped, probably 'cause I had never replied to anything or actually bought anything.

But I remember being dead impressed with it all.

My brother and I were members, there was a badge that I wore on my school uniform for ages. We're talking 20 years ago now though, I cannae remember all of it, but like yourself, I was amazed by the coolness of it all.

Yep, I was a fully signed up member of the Lego Club.

moi aussi!

One of the biggest indulgences of my young life. Took me weeks to save me pocket money and then my parents paid half. It was all worth it!

Still have the badge somewhere was a great idea though

Hello, I'm new here, but this thread caught my eye.

I was a member of the Lego club too. I treasured my little square badge and enjoyed reading the news letters etc. And the stickers - what is it about stickers when you're a kid?

My room was a Lego temple ! Town, Trains, Castle, Space - It was all good. I'm glad kids today can still enjoy it.

Bye for now, Rich

I was for a couple of years too, I used to look forward to receiving letters and stuff from them.

I was in it for years and years - had all the badges and two of the jumpers and everything.

Was still a member when i went to Legoland Windsor for my birthday and got a present frm them and everything - those were good times.

Loved it. Ultimate dream was to get to Lego land.

you used to be able to buy the new products before they came to the shops, my friend was a member, my miserable arsed parents wouldnt let me join!

i was a member of the lego technic club when i was younger:D I got magazines, i still have the membership card in my wallet and i still have the t-shirt:D

davemc06 · 02-07-2007 12:49am

I sure was. Yet no cards ever arrived!

Oh lego! I still have absolutely loads of it left in my attic.
Nearly every toy I got as a child was lego! Loved the stuff. Collected the stuff for years and years!

I was never in the club(parents wouldnt let me, dont know why!), recently went through a nostalgic phase and got the new technic tow truck. Took me ages to put together-brilliant.:D

Cookie_Monster · 12-10-2007 1:34pm

i was in it to.

the best bit was where they showed you how to make a completly random thing, like the elastic catapult:D

Was buying extra cables for my NXT last week from the lego shop website, and there was a tick box asking if I wanted to sign up for the lego club magazines. Never got to be in it when I was a kid, but now I am! i don't think its as good as it used to be. I would give anything for a Lego patch to stick on my jacket. And the magazines will probably be all lego, and not technic which is what i play with, but I will tell you what its like when I get it.

hi, just seen ur thread, used to love lego, especially technic during the early 90's, was in hamleys in london last week, big lego section with live size models, deon't ever remember the club though, wouldn't have minded being part of that

Annatar · 07-04-2008 10:28am

yeah I joined waaayyy back....
...counting....

dear God am I THAT old already!!!!

Still have the magazines stuck in a draw somewhere. Who said nostalgia was a thing of the past?!!

Yeah I remeber saving up pocket money to buy lego parts... huge big wheels, lights in blocks etc...

Technic came later... somehow making things too easy.
