Top 11 things to do with lego in 1975 ish as a kid

1) use blocks to look like the logo on the box

There is no end to lego...an omen for afols

2 take large red spoke wheels put on a green baseplate as a car

3 tow the blue car around living room (and untangle the string)

4 substitute the biplane yellow struts with minifigure heads and figure out why they are thin vs. fat

 

5 use hinge bricks and wind strings up and down

6 build and use forklift to launch bricks by using spring action of the forklift

7 put every black 2x2 with wheels on to a 2x8 beam

8 stack the blocks as high as possible 

9 losing small pieces in shaggy carpet of 70s

10 trying to fit legos neatly back into the nifty comparments

11 perseverate on why you need and could build better with a motor

Ahh the good old days!  Actually launching bricks from the forklifts spring action never gets old.
