The "modulars" from my childhood..
These are a few pictures from the Lego Maniacs magazine from when I was a child.
I absolutely was envious of some of the designs "kids" would send in of their creations, especially since they usually were a full 3 dimensional in depth model.
"Ed Boxer's Lego Castle" on the right was something I had wished for years that Lego would do something similar, even though back then I was fully aware that it would've cost thousands of dollars, but I kept that dream alive.
Fast forward to 2006, when I hadn't bought a Lego set in nearly a decade, I see Cafe Corner and it draws me back in. Then just a few years ago, they released Lion Knights Castle, which was a nearly 30 year dream come true.
But I'll always wonder what happened to Edward Jones and his amazing castle? I had never seen anything like that in my life up until that point.
