who has some? 
what do you collect?
What is your favourite model?
Which would you dream to have (but probably cant/wont get)?
Any customs or modified ones?

ive somehow recently got back into it... dont know why, 
just seem to now have the inclination to collect star wars lego :P 
I mostly prefer ships/vehicles that are closer to minifig scale...

I have the 8017 Darth Vaders Tie which tbh I absolutely love and think with this one they got it spot on,
specially with the colours (hated the old blue trimmings)

8088 ARC 170, really nicely designed i think, just couldnt resist its beauty!
8087 Tie Defender, it seems, i dont know.. too... spindly/thin and long on the wings perhaps? 
but i liked the design of the ship itself so got it anyways :P
7672 Rogue Shadow which my lovely gf bought for me (was actually my first one that got me started on it all :P

7676 Republic Gunship originally saw it at TrU for £90 but decided at the time i couldnt afford to spend the 
money on it... then after my collection started I wanted it but no longer for sale in shops so I ebayed one and 
bricklinked the bits that were missing, including the minifigs (havnt got plo-koon, dont care much to get him).

Near the end of gettin the 7676 version complete, I saw on Ebay instructions for a custom of the 7163 version
replicated to look like the Clone Wars series ARC version. Instantly fell in love with it :P started ordering all the 
pieces required but I felt it was just a tad bit too short mainly in the clone bay (being based on the 7163 version,
I personally prefer the 7676) so also ordered bits to extend the clone bay by 4 studs, as well as to extend the
forward doorway an extra stud so instead of 3 wide and unable to fit a minifig there, it was 4 wide and I could 
fit a minifig there and also make a door for it. I much prefer my extended version (even over the 7676) now it can
fit a more modest amount of minifigs inside it (roughly 16 in the clone bay and 3 or 4 just forward of the clonebay).
I also made a medical droid as I have Bariss Offee stood in the clone bay being a medic Jedi herself :P 


just wondered how many out there also collect and what you collect?
Unless you have just 1 or 2 pics, please refrain from overflowing this thread with pics,
but pleeeease do provide links to an album of them =D

My lego pics can be seen here:  https://www.flickr.com/photos/66283772@N04/6066779952/in/photostream
any wth does my damn typing go far off the page and i actually have to press return to keep it within my view? 
(in this typing box)

I have a HUGE collection of LEGOes. I'm 19 and an AFOL (Adult fan of LEGO). Here's my photobucket:
http://s1109.photobucket.com/albums/h439/barracudasp/
Warning, there's a lot of NON-LEGO stuff in there- you'll have to go back many pages to see everything.



Here is the IJN DD Fubuki made from LEGOes:

IJN Seaplane (F1M Pete)

These are all custom, mind you. I do own many sets but with the sheer amount of extra pieces I have I end up making lots of military stuff,

Some interpretations of NF characters:

Well, this isn't my thread so I won't post way too much, but if you're interested then have a look @ the photobucket from time to time. I may update soon. I also have a brickshelf account, but I didn't upate that because I get frustrated with the upload format a lot...those folders hate me... >w<

I think we had 3 big tubs when I was a kid, mostly Pirate and Space sets. Used to have tons of fun making Pirate hideouts under our living room table.

Waiting for someone to come in and post the Lego Yamato.

I have some 3 large boxes worth of older lego pieces, and a 10030 star destroyer. My little brother tripped on it somehow when he was running around the house and lost some pieces. Very sad day for me.
