Lego Biograth: Who are the Lego people?

The lego people are the best knowen toys that i've ever played with, they were toys that made my childhood a worthy experience. Lego duplex was made in 1977, the same time that award winning movies like Star wars and Pete's dragon were made. The Lego people came as a family. From there they date back with several memories. In their own ways they made Lego history. The house living room was knowen as Legoland.
Playing
with the Lego People would vary in many ways. They would stand out in the rain
waiting for lightning or get played until they were abused, yet they still
lived on.
The Legos
villan was Tinkerman, Prominance and Trucrane were imaginary. Until 1993
I'd
always bring the Lego People with several lego blocks to Aunt Mary's. When i
stopped bringing Lego blocks then i'd bring the Lego people, Though Todd, Andy,
Laura and Cousin Jon were too old to play with legos i still had several
adventures. The Legos
were full
of imagination. When we still had large wooden blocks, i would have them drive
cars over the wooden blocks. I would also have extensive time to pit Alex's
tiger Felepe against the Legos. Tinkerman's brother was Tonkerman. Later in
life came Legoboy, Legogirl and Jeepy and the Lego helpers. They were also fun
to play with, Legodog came with the Lego people. There were times of complete
terror. For quite a while i lost Legored in the ivy and then found him a few
months later. Legos were popular in the seventies and eighties. Yet they were
also used in "Honey i shrunk the kids". Legos are almost impossible
to find when they get lost. There were several times when i would lose the Lego
people. The legos were so enjoyable that i let them watch me eat my lunch. At
times i'd even talk to them. There were several ways to play with the legos, i
have them fly planes, drive cars very fast around the house (It would scratch
the floor so this was only done once in a while). I also used to play with them
in the bathtub. They would stand on my stomach, chest, legs and even near my
crotch.
While i
made Tinkerman fight the legos, i was videotaped. In one instanse i think i
even had Legored or Legoblue pretend he was throwen into the Videocamera lens.
To dad it was not polite but it was a bit funny. (At horse shoe curve Alex made
several strange appearences and he would stick his tounge out and make stange
faces while Dad was taping the trains. I always took the legos where ever i
went. To grandma's, Aunt Mary's
and just
about every where we went. The fights between Tinkerman were awsome, they'ed
take hostages without mersey, they'ed fight with Tinkerman and Tonkerman.
Other
challenges in life were when the Legos raced around the living room carpet
challeging eachother to win and this was done with Tinkerman too. I'd like to
make a note that Legos and Tinkertoys were the toys i loved most! There were times i lost tinkertoys too. Some
i never saw again. They are still probably buried in the ivy.
There are
several places in the world where there are even lego parks. The lego factory
has a huge giraffe with a younger one eating leaves and they are made with over
50,000 lego blocks. Legos are the perfect toy for children. Late and in mid
time in my life came Grandma Legored and Father Legoblue and then Legobird.
Legobird would fly the friendley skies. Even adults play with them too. There
are also huge sculptures that people made with legos. Tinkertoys were also fun
to play with. At certain points you can connect with legos. I pretend the blue
bucket that the tinkertoys came in were
Tinkerman's evil flying Labratory and factory. At times i'd pretend it goes out
of control. When i got older i stopped playing with the legos and bought a
recorder. I audiotaped all my lego adventures and trips. The first tapes were with
Prominance and Trucrane. Then i introduced the evil Tinkerman. Tinkerman had
several evil plotts His plotts were Kidnapping the president of the united
states, blowing up the world with nuclear weapons, Robbing banks and vaults and
kidnapping the mayor after escaping the hurricane and the legoland police. The
legos fly a plane up through the eye of the hurricane and make it without any
probilim.
The legos
are terrific heros in many ways, they foil robberies and negotiate in hostage
crisis. They would always fight the evil tinkerman. The legos would always
fight crime and protect Legoland, either the legoland in my story or the living
room at home. The legos did what no other person could do when the do good. My
most well knowen story is "Poisoned" It's about the legos when they
drink chocolate milk, Prominance and Trucrane switch the milk with poison and
the legos get terribly sick. They fall in the hands of Legoboy, Jeepy and
Legogirl which encounter Prominance who shoot them out but manage to escape before
getting killed. They go to Legolady's friend DR. Blite (name of super villan on
Captian Planet) but he is a good guy on the Lego people. Legoboy, Legogirl and
Jeepy try to find a cure for the legos to save them from the poison but they
get captured by Prominance and Trucrane which tie them up and feed them to
robotic sharks. Meanwhile the legos wake up and drive after them. (It's a
miracle they got better so quickley and tried to find them, they're still
supposed to be poisoned!!!)
They
moast likeley find the antidote prepared just before DR blite and the others
get kidnapped. Then they go after them, only to be caught in a huge traffic jam
and an empty tank of gas. Not to mention that Legored asks for a ride in a taxi
Bruce Willis style.
