I think I just filled the cup.....

[FireCrack]

ohh, it's at 30k

[pyro-manic]

I want it.

[an0n]

I still prefer block-Lego.

All this 'special pieces' stuff just seems like cheating to me.

[Janos]

Look at that guy.

He's so screwing your significant other.

you just can't get "traditional" stuff nowadays.

And I thought the Clone Fighter (quasi early x-wing) was cool.....

yeah, starwars and grown ups playin' with lego is always a hit with the no-tails...

[aldo_14]

Just show 'em a double-studded brick and their pants go down like an American presidents approval rating.

[Fragrag]

How much polygons? (Can't believe I said that)

[Lt.Cannonfodder]

The guy builds a insanely gigantic Star Destroyer from legos and names it Rebel Attack Cruiser 

[Clave]

*** As some of you have pointed out, we made a mistake on the name of this model. The model is actually called REPUBLIC ATTACK CRUISER (not Rebel Attack Cruiser). The certificate of authenticity does say the correct name of Republic Attack Cruiser. Sorry for the error!***

[Styxx]

I'm hoping that the guy who buys it drops it on the floor right after opening the box.

[Jetmech Jr.]

That's so geeky even I want to beat him up.

[Flipside]

I'm with the 'bring back normal lego' crowd though. If anything, they've actually reduced the amount of imagination required to build lego models these days because you are given parts that are obviously designed to be a particular object, that's never what Lego was about.

[Corsair]

Yeah... I still get the Lego shop at home catalogue every holiday season and everything in there is pretty much Star Wars or Harry Potter... all the fun sets are pretty much gone, except for the one or two "classic" sets they sell every year as throwbacks from like the late '90s.

[Flipside]

Yeah, Lego's motto used to be 'Learning through Play', these days it may as well be 'Profiting through Merchandising'

I lusted for a Model team Rally Van in my youth....

Amen, brutha!

Ditto.

[CP5670]

Extremely cool, but $30k?

You know, I might have enough parts to make one of those things myself.

I lusted for a Model team Rally Van in my youth....

haha, so did I. Along with just about everything else in the catalogs. By now I have actually gotten most of the sets I always wanted from ebay. Just need to find two or three more things now.

I didn't get that particular one though, since the Magic Flash is a better version of the same thing.

The modern Lego selection is really a mixed bag. I also think that this brick specialization has become far too common in most sets, but on the other hand the current Technic sets are just as good as the old classics.
