Two new hobbies in one week. A personal record.

**RGM-79N_GM_CUstom** · 10-07-2007, 09:44 PM

The latest additions to my long list of hobbies is Lego and graffiti.

So far I have the Batcopter and Scarecrow, Y-Wing, and B-Wing sets. As for the graffiti I am painting something on one of the walls in my backyard. Still working out exactly what though.

I started with legos when I was 3 and got sets every year until I was about 13. Great stuff.

If I ever have lots of money to blow on nothing, I'm buying about every set ever and recreating the Star Wars Universe.

I still have a motley collection of Legos under my bed.

It's a lot of fun building what you like and using your imagination and creativity.

Yeah, I'm lucky 'cause I have a 7 yr old son that likes Legos, so I get to play with his! And I always built the kits once and then tore them apart and built WAY cooler stuff on my own...

I am treating them along the same lines as my PVCs/resins and using them only for display purposes.

It's a shame how expensive Lego is though. You should see the prices for new in box high demand items like AT-ATs, snowspeeders, etc.

I do plan to expand past Star Wars and Batman lego but I am going to focus on getting SW/Batman first.

Batman isn't too bad but SW is a pain since there are so many kits. Since they are for display I try to only buy the decent sized ones.

I think the most expensive one I have seen so far is this Falcon that is over 1k pieces. It's 500 dollars but it looks amazing. I am hoping I can get it at some point.

Legos are great

.

When my wife and I got married we got a small Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream cake instead of a big ol' traditional wedding cake. I had to go find appropriate cake-toppers.

Hoth Han and Lea

Of course I had to buy a whole Millennium Falcon set to get them... ah well

.

Wow it's just crazy how much lego is going for. I was fighting over a AT-TE in excellent condition with no box just the AT-TE and the clone troopers plus speed bike and manual that the sell wants 250 for buy it now.

The auction is at 133 so I guess this week I will be making a Ultimate Collector's TIE Interceptor or maybe the UC AT-ST. Either that or I might just get this Batman vs the Joker set.

I would die if you could start a trend of Gundam-related grafitti in cities around the world.

Literally, I would not be able to stop laughing.

Heh. Picture of the top half with a beam saber and the caption reading: "Gundam! Effeminate boys need large toys with an equally large Schwartz!"

Watch any Gundam series and you know it to be true.
