yeah, but it's basically a jigsaw puzzle. it's only meant to make 1 thing. how much replay value is there?
how many times can you tear down/rebuild the death star till your bored with it? heck, after you build it the first time, what are the odds that you're even going to tear it down?
it's like a paint by numbers coloring book. (albeit an expensive one)
just some lego trivia for ya:
(as of 2007) if all the Lego bricks ever produced were to be divided equally among a world population of six billion, each person would have 62 Lego bricks
I think you just won the nerd of the day awardOk, some nerd can double check this

I'm pretty sure I saw both the Death Star and Millennium Falcon at a few department stores for only $100.00 a few years ago.
Maybe it was one of the smaller ones?

(I have 0 Star Wars LEGO models, but I think this $500 one is a fairly recent addition to the collection)
Ahh my old ship, for sale, I see I see
But yea Lego is amazing, best toy I had as a kid. I had a mad collection of different sets, underwater aqua stuff, mars discovery kits, alien base kits, space shuttle kit, etc. At one point I combined all my stuff together to make a giant city that took up my entire rooms floor, all connected, complete with buildings, gas stations, houses etc. I then had my hot wheels cars in the city, rolling around, and my electric CN Rail train kit intergrated into it all, it was the best shit ever.
My kids will be def playing with Lego, now I just wish my mom didn't give away all my toys to some bastard kid a few floors below me. That fucker!
You obviously dont have a clue about legos.
They are the ultimate in re-usable. Because every set, wether its star wars, Indiana jones, Castle, pirates, city, harry potter, etc, are all built with standard sized, compatible parts.
When we were kids, me and my brother would combine a dozen or so of our castle and pirate kits to make MEGA castles. We never made the same castle twice.
Fail.
Most expensive set I ever got was the $230-ish space station mono-rail set. It was cool, but didn't go fast enough.
Hey,
The plural of Lego is in fact Lego. Just like the plural of fish and sheep are fish and sheep.
Sort it out.
I have tubs and tubs of Lego in my basement. I would build the sets and play with them for a bit then take them apart and put the pieces into a big tub. Then I would build other neat stuff out of them using my imagination. Lego has one of the highest replay values of any toy out there in my opinion. It's probably the only thing from my childhood I'm going to ensure my kids have access to.
I remember that one. I always remembered wanting it, but the Castles really got me excited the most. And the pirates. Anything pertaining to history really.
What was the mono rail piece made of?
edit: btw, I still have all my LEGOs. Not in the same sets though, the LEGO pieces got mixed up a LONG time ago. Which is just as well imo. The standard sets were annoying and mainstream.
I'd be erecting dark age forts and stockades and had no use for instructions.
You mean the set, tracks or train?
Tracks were plastic with a center-rail with teeth for the motor on the train to latch onto and propel the train. Operated on a D battery.
Space station had one thin, injection molded base. The rest were custom-to-the-set trusses and supports for the rails. Not many individual, buildable pieces.
I also mixed up most of my lego pieces, They use to go in a big basket, which effing cockroaches use to get into. I still cringe thinking about the one I accidentally picked up while building something with. *shudders*
