I wanted to get that Millennium Falcon one, but its like $800!!
All the cool Lego is INSANELY expensive, its hard to justify buying something like that, my girlfriend would slap me in the face when she found out how much it cost.
That Star Destroyer is wicked!! How long did it take you to build that thing? I've seen the Lego Death Star too. They've got cool stuff.

If you thought this season would have a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention.
This guy right here was a legendary part of many a battle in my bedroom:
That was definitely one of my favourite sets..
I was also huge into Castles and Knights genre, anyone remember when they released the new faction Wolfpack?
Got that one for my birthday one year, I still think it is so cool.
These pesky Black Monarch guys were all over the battle field as well:
LoL and this one I remember just because of the backpacks and quivers.
That is the lego I remember - the ole imperial guards vs pirates.
I had 2 ships and a castle - it was awesome. Todays lego has all these special pieces, how are you to use any imagination these days when everything is custom made.
I am glad my parents havent sold my 3 buckets of lego - it will be a great gift for my son or daughter, whenever I get married that is
I remember the first time I got a white horse, I thought it was awesome, then I opened my next gift to find it had 4 white horses pulling some chariot thing I my excitement was muted.
Todays lego fun times has been replaced with women, model trains, and computer games.

I still have all three of those......I can't believe that a 10 year old was able to keep such pristine instructions and not loose/break/chew the pieces. My niece and I just built the sailing ship (and the smaller one) a couple of weeks ago. Just as much fun as 20 years ago.
Not to derail this thread, as I should post this in the BSTF, but I have an extra sealed Millennium Falcon (the >5000 piece one) for sale if anyone is interested. They are now discontinued. I built one and saved one, it took me many enjoyable hours putting that bad boy together. PM me if your interested with offers.
Very excited at this store opening up.
I should add, I will sell it for lower than what Lego was asking on their website ($680)
My parents still have my Pirate Island set of Lego. Will make a great set for the future kids of the family to play with. I can't believe how much time I spent playing with it. This store will be awesome.
Does anyone know of a site that might have scanned copies of instructions for older sets similar to the brick factory site listed above?

Lego fans will certainly want to DL this episode of James May: Toy Stories. He builds a real life house (working toilet, hot shower, bed) out of 3.3 million bricks of Lego. The episode is wicked awesome for those of us who loved Lego, as is the rest of the series.
I remember living in Germany in the early 90's when lego was cheap-ass and my parents ended up buying me almost the entire pirate set (mostly used, but its freaking lego so it didn't matter) and it was sheer awesomeness. I remember getting the huge red-coat base with the lifting bridge and crane and everything. I bought that in England with my Xmas money one year. I think it was 40 british pounds.
I got to use all my dad's old Lego, we had a giant rubbermaid bin full of his old stuff, my brother's and my collection. I loved the smell of the older Lego.
My brother got this for me for Christmas one year...took us like 2 weeks to build it, and at the end I had one piece left over...so we had to disassemble it and start ALL OVER AGAIN.
Still my favorite set to this day, though. I'm pretty sure I still have a couple of home-made spaceships kicking around out in my porch in a box somewhere.
