Time for a change of subject —Rob Hendrix
So... When you hear, see, or think the word "Lego" - what's the first element that comes to mind (any color) without even thinking? Mine's a 2x4 plate. -brickmodder (21 years ago, 18-Mar-04, to lugnet.general)

	Re: Time for a change of subject —Tim Courtney
	(...) 2x4 brick for me. -Tim (21 years ago, 18-Mar-04, to lugnet.general)

		Re: Time for a change of subject —Matthew Miller
		(...) Yeah, 2x4 brick. Closely followed by a minifig. (21 years ago, 18-Mar-04, to lugnet.general)

		Re: Time for a change of subject —Tim Strutt
		(...) 2x4 brick here too. Tim Strutt (21 years ago, 18-Mar-04, to lugnet.general)

		Re: Time for a change of subject —Adrian Egli
		(...) Absolutely no doubt- 2x4 brick too ... AND IN LIGHT GREY!!! Adr. (21 years ago, 18-Mar-04, to lugnet.general)

	Re: Time for a change of subject —Gregory Muri
	Most definitely 2x4 brick. Those would be in red, blue, yellow, green, brown, light grey, black, and white. I think I would be a lot happier with less colors. Before I came out of my dark age, I didn't have any idea colors other than these existed. (...) (21 years ago, 18-Mar-04, to lugnet.general)

		Re: Time for a change of subject —Samuel Morrison
		(...) Same here - losing lime green or trans orange certainly wouldn't break my heart. And the 2x4 brick is the classic. Sam (21 years ago, 18-Mar-04, to lugnet.general)

	Re: Time for a change of subject —David Gregory
	(...) The first element that comes to my mind is a red 2X4 brick. (21 years ago, 18-Mar-04, to lugnet.general)

	Re: Time for a change of subject —James Trobaugh
	(...) I'm with Tim, the 2x4 brick is what I think of...then maybe the classic smiley minifig jt (21 years ago, 18-Mar-04, to lugnet.general)

	Re: Time for a change of subject —Mike Kollross
	(...) I think of a Classic Space minifig in White. Long live Classic Space!! Mike (21 years ago, 18-Mar-04, to lugnet.general)

		Re: Time for a change of subject —Robb King
		(...) ... bounding around on the moon, with a Mobile Tracking Station just a few 'meters' behind on his right. That must have been one heck of an ad/catalog, because it's still the first thing I think of whenever the topic of LEGO comes up. Of (...) (21 years ago, 19-Mar-04, to lugnet.general)

	Re: Time for a change of subject —Wayne McCaul
	1x4 brick. Sometimes with a classic headlights and grill pattern. Sort of odd, now that I think of it... -Evil Wayne (...) (21 years ago, 18-Mar-04, to lugnet.general)

	(...) 1x16 technic brick ROSCO (21 years ago, 18-Mar-04, to lugnet.general)

		Re: Time for a change of subject —Doug Eaton
		(...) Definitly the 1x16 technic beam, preferably in yellow, black or gray. (21 years ago, 19-Mar-04, to lugnet.general)

	Re: Time for a change of subject —David Laswell
	(...) Minifigs. As much as I've gotten into BIONICLE, it can't undo two decades of conditioning in a mere three years, and when I was growing up, if it wasn't designed for a minifig to use, it wasn't done being built. Well, except for those odd (...) (21 years ago, 18-Mar-04, to lugnet.general)

	Re: Time for a change of subject —Nathan Wells
	(...) Nothing comes to mind when I think 'Lego', but I always think of a red 2x4 brick when I think 'LEGO'. ;) I also think of the classic smile minifig head, my collection, a RCX and any other 'normal' brick.

	Re: Time for a change of subject —Kelly McKiernan

	Re: Time for a change of subject —Pamela Hale
	(...) Actually, mine's a 1x2 brick. (21 years ago, 18-Mar-04, to lugnet.general)

	Re: Time for a change of subject —Allan Bedford
	(...) I see, hear and think of.... A mixed pile of bricks, slopes and plates. But then that tells you what the rest of my mind is like. ;) Good topic. Thanks for something fun to chat about! All the best, Allan B. (21 years ago, 19-Mar-04, to lugnet.general)

	Re: Time for a change of subject —Erik Bush
	(...) Hey, When I think of "Lego", the first thing that comes to mind is not an element but a model. But you said the first element... Mine would have to be the 2x4 brick in yellow because it is the "TRUE BRICK". Wow I never thought of that before (...) (21 years ago, 19-Mar-04, to lugnet.general)

	Re: Time for a change of subject —Michael Harrod
	(...) Like several others, it's not a specific brick....It's that 'click-click-click-click-click' sound of bricks clicking together in the 5 colors--yellow, red, blue, white and black--used in LEGO tv commercials back in the 1970's (and I apologize (...) (21 years ago, 19-Mar-04, to lugnet.general)
