    Star Wars Legos and Bionicle have to be the best Lego has ever done in its 50 years

    Oh this is the thread for me! I've been collecting Legos for a long time now. I've don't have pics for everything uploaded but I'll be working on that.
    These pics are some I've gotten in the past 4 months but not the newest.

    I have all the Indiana Jones sets that are out and the big Escape from the Temple set is my favorite, very fun to built.
    The Ferris Wheel I hesitated getting because it wasn't to minifig scale but I could have a minifig ride in it.

    The train is actually a combo of the motorized Holiday train and the motorized Hogwarts Express.

    Is that train electric? I always wanted an electric Lego train, but never had the money for one. Sad day...

    Four Weeks ago saw my return to the Lego Mania of my long forgotten youth. First was every set I owned being put on display in place of my TFs. Second was my decision to put off collecting TFs for a while in favor of playing catch up with as many sets as I could comfortably get. I have big, big plans including perhaps a Lego Youtube style stop-motion video if I can get the time, money, equipment and all the sets I want.

    I have no pictures on standby to upload yet, but I can say this much.

    My Lego Haul since four weeks ago has been as follows:

    Clone Troopers Battle Pack
    General Greivous' Starfighter
    Republic Cruiser
    Imperial Dropship
    Droids Battle Pack
    Droids Battle Pack
    Clone Troopers Battle Pack
    Clone Troopers Battle Pack
    Droids Battle Pack
    Hailfire Droid & Spider Droid
    Hailfire Droid & Spider Droid

    My Lego Droid army currently is around 24 Battle Droids 3 Battle Droid Commanders 1 Battle Droid Pilot 2 Droidekas 1 Droid Fighter AKA Vulture Droid 1 General Grievous 11 Super Battle Droids 2 Hailfire Droids 2 Spider Droids and 5 STAPs Not to mention Three New Droid Carriers 1 Battle Droid Carrier and 1 General Grievous' Starfighter. My intention if luck and fundage falls onto my side is to get 2 Trade Federation MTTs, 1 original Trade Federation MTT, 5 Trade Federation AATs, 1 more Droids Battle Pack, possibly 1 more Hailfire Droid & Spider Droid set if they go on sale again and a few extra Jedi Defense II sets to get more Droidekas. Considering that's just my plans for the Trade Federation Army and it doesn't take into consideration all the Droids that are included with the other sets like the Clone Turbo Tank it does appear to be pretty ambitious. But I say if you're going to build up Lego Star Wars Armies right then you have to be willing and crazy enough to buy duplicates especially duplicates of the larger sets.

    My twin Naboo Swap STAPs are also being modified to make them fit in as best as possible with the newer model STAPs. I've been taking the spare parts from the Droids Battle Packs and attaching them to the STAPs, as soon as I've uploaded the pics from the camera to the computer I'll show you what I mean.

    The best thing about Legos, for me, is that they are a direct inspiration for Minimates, the greatest block figures ever made! Plus, the Mosaic bases are great for Minimate displays.

    No, not on the ground. He who spits on the ground spits on himself. You're supposed to close one eye and spit over your left shoulder like this. *Puttup*

    Otherwise your seventh child's seventh son will be born with hooves. Or so I am told.

    Now here is a Lego Spychanger battle-walker:

    Okay, that was made of heretic Mega Blocks, really.

    Yes it is. I actually have three electric trains technically. Holiday and Hogwarts, plus I got another motor so I could build another train of my choice.

    Mine started out small, too :eek:  , but they are more addictive than crack to me (like TFs are to a lot of others here). But then again, I've seen a lot of collections much larger than mine.

    However, I didn't even show my Avengers and JLA members in that pic. Further, I just ordered two of the Civil War sets last night, and got a case of Marvel wave 9 figures, a 24 4-pack, and a Classic BSG 5-pack in the mail today. It is a problem.

    Probably even more poorly executed than the gummy Legos.
