You're older than that.  It's Lego.  Megaphone, if I'm not mistaken.  You might have seen something like it in the Space Lego back in the day, but I'm pretty sure it's newer than that.

I think it does date back to Classic Space. I've got a few. Also the bazookas and walkie talkies.

Currently reconstructing LL928 out of the original 1979 pieces that are on their third generation of kid...

Oh, so that's why I didn't get it. I'm too old.

That can't be Atlanta.  Only seven of those intersections include a Peachtree Blvd/Road/place/Circle/Drive/Way/etc etc etc....

They look like they could be Stargate glyphs!

I'm 57, and I'm not too old.

Ack, I guess I see it now.

Sadly, my mother never had to worry about stepping on those. We could not afford legos.

The age cutoff seems to be 1961, when Lego contracted with Samsonite to produce their blocks in North America.  https://www.lego.com/en-us/history/articles/e-production-of-lego-bricks-in-north-america#:~:text=Production%20of%20LEGO%C2%AE%20bricks%20in%20North%20America%20The,a%20licensing%20agreement%20with%20Samsonite%2C%20the%20luggage%20manufacturer.

I'm too old.

Sure, I was six in 1961, definitely in the lego age group. I remember visiting someone whose kids had legos, but all I remember were the bricks, and we couldn't afford the current hot toys anyhow. I really had no experience of my own with legos until I had my own kids.

Meme thread, so here's something totally unrelated. I don't even know why it's in my downloads.

According to Bricklink, the megaphone first appeared in 1982 and was used in a bunch of space sets in 1983 and later. So base your "too old" math on that :)

My mom's family is from the Stratford area. Grandma had a big bucket of LEGO sweepings from the factory floor (literally) that we would play with.

In reply to NickD :

I don't get it?

It looks like Mars but none of the models indicate that Mars will ever collide with Earth....the models predict that Earth will be consumed by the Sun long before that happens.

If that's supposed to be Theia (the early planet that crashed into Earth creating our moon), you can't have Earth and Theia talking while the moon exists...the moon came into existence after Earth and Theia collided.

Can you help out here, WTF are we looking at??? 

In reply to RX Reven' :

It's about how we stopped doing anything with the moon and how NASA has been all about sending stuff to Mars lately.

Well, ignoring that whole Artemis thing that's sucking up billion$ right now anyhow. And all the moon probes that have been launched recently. It's just that the Mars robots get all the attention because they're just doing such a great job.

Why would a spaceman need a megaphone?
