Is anybody here a LEGO fanatic?

I have a question, where can I find data on actual lego piece dimensions??

Please let me know.

I don't know where you can find them, but I could measure some pieces for you with my calipers, which are accurate up to one thousandth of an inch.

I used to be obsessed with LEGOs. We're talking like, hours spent playing with them EVERY DAY.

I should have a few pieces here in my house in Texas....

legomen where great to chew on and you could turn them into lego women with a small plastic hairpiece. Dynamic!

I used to be crazy about lego, would make everything out of it: cats, cars, towers taller than me, aeroplanes... That was when I was about six... Good times

I've no clue where my lego is now.

I modded a lego space man and put him as my tire valve cap recently. My basement has tons of legos. I spent my whole younger childhood playing with them. I only play with them now if I have a good idea or I'm bored. I got into lego mosaics a while back and made some really cool mario and pacman mosaics.
(if i find pics i'll put them up)
