Quite possibly one of the coolest things ever (or at least on the internet today): http://www.truedimensions.com/lego/customs/2001/index.htm

Ken, you really could have stuck with the title alone. Stupid work is blocking the link, anyway.

Looks like some kind of a space ladies toy. Does it vibrate?

Finally got to see it!
Hands down, Legos are some of the best toys ever.

A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing.

Nice collection, Michael! That Star Destroyer was the big ticket item for my nephew this last Christmas. After a full day of building it with his dad, my nephew proceeded to carry it into the living room to show his mom and promptly tripped. . .
I gotta admit, I still love sitting down with him and building stuff.

Nice collection, my son has many of those Star Wars items as well, but now is freaking out next to me looking at these pictures.
He has lots of Indiana Jones stuff, as well as the Police Station, etc..

My favorite lego creations as a kid were the ones that resulted from The Great Lego Consolidation of 1980-something. We mixed all of the legos into a couple different bins and my brother and I would sit at a table and build for hours.

I don't think any movie has ever truly recreated the feeling I had as a kid as when the Star Destroyer just going and going and going past the screen in the first Star Wars movie. Pretty sure it's the first time my jaw dropped
With great power comes Awesome irresponsibility.

I think they got close with Empire and the Super Star Destroyer.
Or when the SSD hit the Death Star in RotJ. That was awesome.
I like me some Super Star Destroyers.

Am I the only one who doesn't understand how the steampunk meme came to be?
