Hobbes Posted July 22, 2005 Posted July 22, 2005 For non-Europeans: see http://www.euromillions.be/default.aspx?cu...=en&pageid=home What would you do?... after buying all existing LEGO, that is ;) I, frankly, have no idea. That's just too much to think about... just start spending and see what happens...
ApophisV Posted July 22, 2005 Posted July 22, 2005 First i will buy Lego. Sure thing. Then the B9, my beloved discotheque... And then I would start wondering for what else I could spend my money since I don't have to pay the alcohol there anymore... ;) Here are some suggestions: - holiday home in New Zealand - holiday home in France (Cote d'Azur) - a small sailing boat - a large house here in my home town - a house for my parents - car(s) for myself, cars for my parents and my sister (she's 20) - some money on a bank account for my small sister's (13) and brother's (3) studies - paying all depts of my whole family - a nice start up Lego collection for my small brother - founding my own company (business concept: my company does only two things, not less, not more: 1: It exists. 2: It earns money) - a large sum for organisations like "SOS Kinderd
Hobbes Posted July 23, 2005 Author Posted July 23, 2005 Well, another jackpot... So, let's rephrase: What would you do with about 113(!) million Euro?! PS: I won 11 Euro. Subtract 10 Euro for playing and I have an amazing net gain of 1 Euro ;)
MattZitron Posted July 23, 2005 Posted July 23, 2005 I'd buy every Lego set that takes my fancy, give my family a shed load of money, invest a MEGABLOCKS load, and buy every regular poster on Eurobricks a set.
jonfett Posted July 23, 2005 Posted July 23, 2005 - a ticket for Eurobricks Event 2005 ;)- stamps for Jon's package that is STILL somewhere in my closet... :$ What about the 2006 event in Windsor?? Oh yeah, and I still have a MISB Darth Vader Transformation sitting on my desk for you! ;) I will send it out when I send some stuff to Jay. But for me.. I would buy some storage room for my Lego. After that, well.. I would probably buy the Internet! Jon.
The Middleman Posted July 23, 2005 Posted July 23, 2005 - Manor house lakeside to Lake Harriet in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Would incorporate elements of the Italian Renaissance on the inside, but mostly medieval castle/church in architecture. - Life-size, working replicas of ancient warships. Namely the Greek trireme and Viking drakkar, although a Chinese junk would be nice. - Pieter Bruegel the Elder's painting 'The Tower of Babel'. - Every LEGO set ever produced, times two. One for MISB and one for building with. - Theatre room with speaker walls and 12-foot plasma TV. - Voice-activated house control. - Jaguar. That's all I can think of at the moment.
MattZitron Posted July 24, 2005 Posted July 24, 2005 Actually I forgot to add: - An Edward Hopper Original (He painted Nighthawks) - I'd fund my movie. - Treat my Girlfriend to the Holiday of a lifetime. - Buy a New York Apartment. - Buy lots of cool shoes. - Buy a cinema.
Governor Mister Phes Posted July 24, 2005 Governor Posted July 24, 2005 After building my theme park there isn't going to be much left over... Its just not enough!
jonfett Posted July 24, 2005 Posted July 24, 2005 After building my theme park there isn't going to be much left over... Its just not enough! Your own personal theme park? I hope this isn't some kind of Michael-Jacksonish plan to lure kids to your mansion! ;) Jon.
Governor Mister Phes Posted July 26, 2005 Governor Posted July 26, 2005 Why is that? Do you want the kiddies to go to your mansion instead? Naaaaah... I want a PG13 theme park... At the very least!
Sarg_Kulo Posted July 27, 2005 Posted July 27, 2005 I would buy FBTB and become a MOd and torture everyone and spread the word about how great eurobricks in and then i'd be able to swear and ban colin cuz I'd be a MOD. God I sound like a n00b :D
Governor Mister Phes Posted July 28, 2005 Governor Posted July 28, 2005 Duplo? What are these strange words you write? n00b sounds like a pretentious elite term for New User.
SuvieD Posted July 28, 2005 Posted July 28, 2005 Hmm. Pay off my house. Buy a new Camry. Go to school to be a teacher. Buy some land. Save the rest. If I was feeling ambitious I would build a plastic molding facility to make miniatures for board games. I might also buy an old building and renovate it into a community education building that would offer low cost or free classes. I could turn it into orphanage or halfway house for troubled teens.
languages Posted July 29, 2005 Posted July 29, 2005 I would buy: - A Ferrari Enzo - Storage for my Lego - A house in California and Tokyo - A unchartered island - A huge Plasma TV - An ISD - All the Lego themes - Microsoft and Apple - A Film company and make a film about Lego - Any artwork by Keith Haring - HOLIDAYS!
Sarg_Kulo Posted July 29, 2005 Posted July 29, 2005 n00b sounds like a pretentious elite term for New User. *Cough* It is :D Even though I am not a new user
Hobbes Posted July 30, 2005 Author Posted July 30, 2005 (edited) Well, some lucky Irish mid-40s woman won it all, she was the only one to "guess" the right numbers. The exact Jackpot was 115,436,126 Euro. That's 139,977,846 US Dollars 171,374,877 Canadian Dollars 184,965,045 Australian Dollars Congratulations... I guess... Edited July 30, 2005 by Hobbes
Sarg_Kulo Posted July 30, 2005 Posted July 30, 2005 Actually the first thing I'd do with it (to late but who cares?), would be to turn it into Pounds ;) :-D :D
dragunov Posted August 9, 2011 Posted August 9, 2011 (edited) No, No, No, For lego fans, you guys have it all wrong. I was half expecting at least someone to say everyones lego based dream... Build a house, No mansion, Out of lego Mr Phes, I believe (in my own lego community, flickr based expirience) It is common to see an expirienced builder call someone a n00b if they are acting like a serious annoyance.

Fugazi Posted August 9, 2011 Posted August 9, 2011 Do you guys realise you're posting in a 6 year-old thread? And I don't think there's much of a point in continuing this discussion either. Locked.
