I was watching Lego stop motion videos on youtube and like many others I stumbled upon the "Awesome Lego House" video of someone showcasing their Blockland creation in RTB.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tzaLRjayeY4I remember getting really excited about this because up until this point I only knew of and played Lego Digital Designer which wasn't really what I wanted in a Lego game but it's all they had. and then there it was; everything I thought a Lego game should be and it actually existed, I purchased my key in the summer of 2007. I can definitely say it was the most significant $20 I have ever spent.
was either https://youtu.be/_iaSREGcUcs or a certain series of videos using rotondos zombies to make a machinima series of escaping zombies in the bedroom that mightve gotten unlisted
played it with a friend at his house and my dad thought it was cool so he bought it for me, used to use lego digital designer as a very small kid so this was the next step up I guess lol
