Me and my brother grew up with a bunch of these and we made some awesome things. We would link them across the room and build bridges and stuff and crazy aliens.

We didn't have legos but another form called 'Construx' which I found superior. We'd build all kinds of things out of them and have Construx wars where we'd smash them together. Pieces would break all the time and we'd giggle our heads off at the carnage.

Also had He-Man and Turtle figures, we'd love placing them under the couch coushins to try and hold them up by the strength of the figures alone. Sometimes their legs would give into weird splits and stuff. We'd try and weigh the coushins down with stuff to see when they'd collapse.
Ahh.... good times.
