¿A quiénes les gustan los Legos?
 
Cuando fue un niño me gustaron los Legos:)
Me gustan las fotos, Difference Engine, y V8 engine, y Relativity



LEGO is something people just love to play with. No matter if you are a kid, an adult or an old person, if you are able to see, you will love LEGO. These small bricks when coupled with some creativity and time can turn up into some of the most stunning and breath-taking sculptures ever. If you want to built some LEGO creation of your own but don’t know what to built, here is some inspiration. These LEGO creations are a wonder in their own and I am sure that you will love most of them.

Beautiful work! It's amazing what people do with their hobbies. :)

Although it seems to me that Escher's one is tricked... I can't imagine how they made the spatial effect on stairs with volume. :thinking:

Basically, big giant robots that ruin everyones day.

sosia June 25, 2009 12:49 AM

¡Muy divertido!
@Irmarmar
As Vega says, big robots/robot armour. For you, mecha == "Mazinger Z"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mecha
Saludos :D

irmamar June 25, 2009 01:16 AM

¡Yes, I know who is Mazinger Z! "¡Puños fuera!:D

They actually save their days. ;)



@Sosia & irmamar: ¡Planeadoooor abajooo! :D

CrOtALiTo June 25, 2009 10:36 AM

I have had these bricks before, when I was a kid, but I never could to do a figure of thus size, I don't know perhaps my imagination does not gives for more, but I believe that the people who does that kind to figures, they have to a ability in the build of the structures, or they are Engineers, I'm not very sure, but I believe that toys created in the pictures are made with planes and other kind to machine to precise the sizes and tall height of the builds.

I don't remember "planeador abajo" :confused: Sorry! :) But I remember Afrodita A :D

Angelica, what do you mean with "save their days"? I didn't know this expression. Thanks :)

¿Has mirado la película 'transformers'? Es de Hollywood y en inglés.:) Supongo que se podría llamar los robotes males o buenos, porque ellos ayudan los humanos, y los males robotes atacan los humanos. Pienso que Angelica habla de los buenos robotes los cuales ayudan los humanos, o 'save their day/save the day'

Jaja siempre los heroes en las películas 'save the day:)'
Nunca siempre los robotes grandes/mechas son males:lol:

El plural de robot es "robots" ;)

I didn't see that movie.

Does save the day mean "ayudar a los humanos"? Why is it not "help people" or "save people"? :confused:

Jessica June 25, 2009 11:38 AM

oh my wow!!! 0.0 my little brother plays with legos, he built a gun (but he isn't really violent) and I have a "bathroom" made of legos with a door :P

Pienso que Angelica habla de los buenos robotes robots los cuales ayudan los humanos, o 'save their day/save the day' :good: Cierto :D

Nunca No* siempre los robotes robots grandes/mechas son males malos. :lol:

*Either "nunca" or "siempre"... one cannot mix both in one sentence. ;)


@Irma: tenía varios nombres, dependiendo del doblaje, pero el "planeador" era la especie de helicóptero que se acoplaba en la cabeza del robot para hacerlo andar.

En cuanto a "save their days", Bob está en lo correcto. :)
En realidad era un comentario irónico sobre el montón de ciudades destruidas por una pelea de gigantes. :D

...Y salvo la mejor opinión de un hablante nativo, se usa "salvar el día" como una forma de decir que el resultado al final es favorable y se salvaron de la amenaza.

Supongo que 'ayudar a los humanos' significa 'save the day', pero es un modismo usamos aquí. Cuando se ayuda alguien de un día arruinado. Pienso que eso es más mejor traducción.

Save the day =
Helping someone from having a ruined day/week/ect.
Helping someone from a bad situation:)
Like Angelica said, 'helping someone to reach a favorable outcome'. Well said!

Bob helped me with my homework, and I recieved an A+ in my Spanish class. He saved the day!:)


@Angelica, ¡gracias por las correcciones!
