I think my wife may have made a huge mistake. This weekend, as a surprise, she bought me a small Lego truck/car set. As soon as she gave it to me (Saturday morning in bed) I opened the package and assembled my new toy. I had forgotten how much I loved playing with Legos as a child.

Sunday, we went to Target and I purchased two more Lego sets which I spent the bulk of Sunday night assembling.

Today – I purchased the Lego UCE Imperial Star Destroyer (10030). I hope it arrives before this weekend because I cannot wait to build this 3100+ piece set.

After that, I have my eyes set on building the Lego UCE Millennium Falcon (10179).

I’ll post picks when done.

  1. I love Legos. Right now my girlfriend and I live in a 900 square foot downtown condo, but when we get a house… look out! Because I’m going to finish the basement and it’s gonna be stuffed with Legos and Star Wars figures and computers and everything else I couldn’t afford when I was 12.

    I’ve got this one (http://www.brickset.com/detail/?Set=6211-1) sitting on top of my TV in the basement along. It was “only” 1,300 some pieces but it still took forever and a day. I REALLY wanted the one you’ve got coming but I just don’t have the room for it (or the Death Star which would have been super cool).

    Looking forward to the pics (and to know how/where you’re displaying this bad boy).

    One suggestion… take the time to lay “similar” pieces out together. Otherwise you’ll have a hell of a time wading through 3,000+ “gray” pieces looking for that ONE that you need.
