Do you collect the Star Wars Lego sets? I have a bunch of them. I'm a total nerd. I recently bought the Death Star set that comes with over 20 minifigs. I'll post some pictures as I build it. It has 3803 pieces.



No, I have to severely limit myself to what I choose to buy. My son has a few of the smaller Lego sets, but not too many (and the Lego Star Wars games for GB and PS2). I've been sorely tempted by some of the "Ultimate Collector's Series" sets like the X-wing, Star Destroyer and Death Star, but never actually went for it.

While my kids have a large bin full of action figures and vehicles, my collection consists mainly of posters (original one-sheets), a few special action figures that are still sealed, some coffee-table books, and some hand-built models. I've had to get really, really good at seeing something I really want and not buying it. :mad:

These are my "someday" purchases...

Those are awesome pics. I was at my mom's this weekend, going through some family photos. There's a shot of me opening some presents which included the AT-AT and Boba Fett's Slave I. I wish I still had those toys. I'll post the pics when I get them scanned. They're pretty cool.

I really want the Lego Ultimate Collector's Series Millennium Falcon, but it's $500. They had it on sale last week for $380, but I just couldn't pull the trigger:
