If I could embed this video I would. Recently the guys at Gizmodo took a tour of the LEGO factory. As you know we love LEGO so I was sucked in.

One of the things they were shown was the vault full of every LEGO set from the 1950′s to now. Wow! Some of this stuff is amazing. The video is viewable on site and well worth a look.

See how many sets you recognize and remember. I saw a few that my brother had and I remember being launched across the bedroom But they are a real treasure and brought back lots of those memories.

The other thing is check out all the videos and stories from Gizmodo’s LEGO trip, very cool. Great write up as well.

Share your happy memories in the comments!

Welcome to the Global Geek Podcast Number 87! Another bumper show this week. Makes up for it being a bit late, but there are other reasons as well. The first 1 minute lets you know what the go was this week.

Hope you guys enjoy it. There may or may not be a show this coming week as I have had to make a rushed trip to Sydney. Just have to see how thins pan out.
