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)

lmao angus ouch! id have given him a scorned look every time he came near just to put the fear of god into him :P
were you able to substitute the missing pieces to rebuild it?

kingcong, thats god dam impressive =O
think id have cried hard... lol xD u got any other creations?
what i dont understand is how people manage to end up owning soooooo many bricks of the same colour? i mean, are you able to pop down to your local lego production plant and buy them straight off the machine that makes them kinda thing?

btw checked out the stukka, mitsi zero and fubuki pics, lovin the fubuki you totally captured its character! stukka is pretty cool too and the bulky float under the zero is spot on :P

Thank you, sir. I am flattered by your interest. Here is more

Transport / gunship

Iowa class. Built out of reject pieces (non gray/black)

I got all these gray pieces from star wars sets and a passenger train set. Also there is a lego store at the mall near my house and I sometimes buy bricks in bulk such as 1x4 gray wall pieces.

You can also custom order pieces but it is more expensive.

lmfao a 5 ft tower?! thats crazy tall xD bet your cat jumped outta its skin when it hit the floor :P

thats a pretty neat 'reject' iowa :P transporter spaceship looks cool too, what are the blue bits that imitate thrusters?
are lego stores quite common where ever you live? the closest one to me is like, 100 miles away, its silly miles after that :< and theres only 6 in the uk :<

the only way ive been buying bricks is off bricklink, it seems the only way i can build particular things i want to build :< and yeah, it gets expensive >.<

they are blue versions of these thrusters from exo force sets. (Largest I could find)

theres a lego store about 1 every 70 miles here in california and mostly in malls in tourist areas. And they only have what seem to be leftover parts of some recent sets, like lots of doors pieces but sometimes lucky to find flat panels

Alright thanks Chief0Milo, for the clarification. Also, I appreciate all you guys flattering me, but most of my military stuff is made from "reject" pieces (whatever colour is available) and I'llonly be satisfied when I can do proper camouflage. :P Anything that looks on-colour has been modified from a purchased set rather than built from-the-ground-up.
I know it's a bit late as it's been some weeks since I put links in here but I'm going to do a youtube video showing my LEGO city diorama soon. Plus, one more thing. Here is a Chinook Helicopter.

I'll get back to you with more, later. ^^
