So there's a lego store that's opening nearby on May 14th. I am excited.
Very, very excited. I've already begun scoping out things I want; I'm looking for a project that is not only awesome but reasonably priced.

I would go for the Taj Mahal (http://shop.lego.com/ByTheme/Product.aspx?p=10189&cn=52&d=100), but that's a hefty price tag...
Regardless, which one should I go for, Modacity?

e: I forgot to mention whichever is chosen will have pictures taken of it through the process of building it.

Lego's are the shit. Fuck Megablox!

That said, I think the 787 would be an interesting choice, E: 26x27 inches, got damn. Whatever you think will look best on your shelf (and what you'll want to rebuild again and again).

Ahhhh, Lego. <3

I have a giant tower of boxes full of pieces next to my PCs that I organized by now 5 or 6 years ago.

I must suggest that at some point you build one of the things from www.brickcommander.com, that guy has seriously good stuff. I've built a Cougar, Bushwacker, Timber Wolf, Summoner, Dire Wolf, Uller, and Mad Dog (the latter of the two were sadly scrapped) using instructions for that site. I've got parts for a Hellbringer sitting around, but I never got to building it...

God, I haven't touched my legos in years. I remember having like, an entire closet full of them when I was a kid.

I'm surprised the lego model of the lego person isn't in the catalog. Well, with the list you have, get either the Eiffel Tower of Cafe Corner.

Agreed, the only problem is that whenever I did that I could never get enough of one color for certain components so my structures always have rainbow colors. Sometimes it looks cool, sometimes it looks fugly. But yeah, building your own stuff is the way to go.

Hey if you're forced to express your object's sexual orientation, there usually is something wrong.

Legos...I haven't built a damn thing with them since my mommy took them from me for some other kids D:

Bionicles were awesome when they first came out, used to love making Titan-esque mega dudes out of all the pieces.

Legos are the deal, but here's something fucked up:


Mega blocks, a rip off from legos, is making a Halo Wars Series, and they look like shit, just google it or something.

quotin dis i had these huge buckets of random pieces, i could just sit there and build for hours But you're still shit at Gmod, what's with that? :downs: Also, if you want something to be like "heh I made that", get the Boewing, if you want to show off get the tower, and if you want something for you (and others) to just sit and stare at, get the corner store (the street store thing is shit) thing. If it were me, I'd get the boewing.

It ended imo after they phased out the original Toa, the Bohrak, and the Rahkshi. The Rahskhi were the most badass enemy I swear.

Out of those? 787 Dreamliner ftw.

But get this, it's worth it. (http://shop.lego.com/Product/?p=10179)

Mines STILL not built and I've had it for like two years. I'm to lazy to work on it... Got about half way in a few hours of work then got bored.

I've got the Death Star II (http://shop.lego.com/Product/?p=10143) BNIB as well, haven't bothered to crack the seal to even take a look...

I'll work on them this summer probably. My biggest issue is that I'm to lazy to sort my pieces, so I spend FOREVER looking for the right ones and it gets boring real fast.

Yo guys, just postin to let you know i got the Eiffel Tower today, as the Boeing wasn't there and I changed my mind :V
Should I make a new topic so I can have all of the posts at the top? It's split into three parts, so it would be 3 posts.
