[geeks] LEGOhelp?

[mrl]

I had a conversation with a friend last night about Lego sets that I
used to play with. So, I went a-looking around on eBay, and I can buy
all the Ice Planet, Blacktron, and M-Tron stuff that I really wanted
(but couldn't afford) when I was younger :).

I don't generally like the movie-related sets, but I went looking on
lego.com anyway to see what they had for sale. I hadn't remembered that
there were Star Wars "Classic" legos being sold... hey, this is cool, a
mini Star Destroyer[0]... ooh, nifty, an AT-AT[1]... OH HOLY SHIT A HUGE
STAR DESTROYER[2]!!!

So much for being able to afford the legos I want now. 

Anybody here still play with these? Is there a cheaper place to get new
sets? Heh... yeah right ;p.

look pretty cool, actually, and won't break you:).

also a Millenium Falcon at the same 100$ price tag.

There's also a Rebel Blockade Runner (aka Corellian Corvette for you SW
buffs, or "that rebel ship at the very beginning of Ep IV" for the rest
of you :P) at "only" 200$.
