VFTF1 Posted January 22, 2009 Author Share Posted January 22, 2009 Eugimon - that pic with your son is fantastic Great looking kid; the expression on his face is priceless. Also, the size of the YF-21 in kiddie hands is ginormous However- I generally gett he feeling from that picture that the kid wasn't very rough on the 21 He doesn't look like he'd be prone to doing anything dumb with it Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostly it involves him holding it and swinging it making swooshing noises while I have visions of him tossing it at a wall or something.

Macette Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Well my stories aren't so happy. I had my first Yamato, my vf-1a Hikaru fell off a 6 foot bookshelf and the clip that holds the intake that attaches the leg to the fusalage of the fighter break off. now he can only be displayed in battaloid. I also got my then 12 year old cousin the same valk for his Birthday (tried to get him hook, I failed, apperently pokemon have more appeal to kids back then then Macross valks did) well kids being kids, he managed to snap off both tailfins. but of my 12 valks, that's the only one that has taken a fall and or has ever had anything break.

Vostok 7 Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 I don't let her touch my Yammies, but my 2yr old daughter has been loving to play with the 1/55 reissue CF chunky monkey I got a while ago. She swooshes it around the room making engine noises in either mode (fighter or battroid) and loves turning the different parts and moving the legs She's SO her daddies girl. Now whenever I play around with my Yammies she comes over and goes "OOOOOoooO!" while I transform them or pose them, and usually tries to steal away with the gunpod or other pieces I have laying around Vostok 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SchizophrenicMC Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 You guys are lucky. It took my dad years to get me into the idea of transforming giant robot planes. It'll probably be the same for me. (Although, maybe I can have sucess with this in the same way my dad did with me and Legos.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She's been playing with the normal LEGOs since before she was "old enough" even for the DUPLOs. One time in a LEGO store she was playing with some of the bins of small parts they had around for kids to build things and play with, and people kept asking me if she was OK because she was so young Vostok 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he has the manual dexterity to do the normal sets are work with some of the smaller pieces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When she as little as I was mentioning in my post she couldn't quite get stuff together or apart quite right, but now she can. She loves the little LEGO men the most The biggest thing was she was always good about not putting the parts in her mouth! Vostok 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vostok 7 yeah, thankfully my kid never really went through that oral fixation stage either! Okay, you have inspired me to get my box of legos from my parents place and play with them with the little guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By 2 and a half, I had my own, giant creator set, complete with the big bin-thingy (This was in 1997, mind you), and I still have the baseplates that came with it... I remember one time, when I was 4, I made a Taco Bell.... I don't know why, but I did. Maybe it was because my mom ate mostly Taco Bell when she was pregnant with me. My current collection is from a lifetime of lego fanatacism. It's so big, I have to keep half in the garage... Vostok, you're lucky you're near a Lego Store. In Texas, there are none, and the closest one's a 20 hour drive to Disney World... I plan on going to Lego Pick-a-brick online and ordering 100 of each brick they offer. If I do that, it'll only be a matter of time before I have a transforming 1/48 Koenig, similar, though larger than this one[/i], to complement my Yammies in the scale. I love lego... :needs drool: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
