The X-Wing is my second favorite of all my sets. The only thing wrong with it is that it doesn't come with a Luke minifigure, but that isn't hard to remedy. The seat inside the cockpit is a little big for a minifigure (which is probably why one didn't come with the set) but I easily modified it and put a plate in there that a minifigure can attach to. What's great about that X-Wing that the non-UCS versions of them don't do, is that R2D2 fits in it properly. All the other X-Wings he always fits in at the wrong angle.

That UCS Tie Fighter is huge too! You've got to get the Slave I as well, that ship is awesome.

The Millennium Falcon one has a special spot in my heart. When the first set of it came out a few years ago, my nephew wanted it so bad and saved up his money for it. He knows that I am a HUGE Star Wars fan and called me from my sister's cell the second he walked out of the store with it and asked when I could come build it with him. That was like a Monday and he waited almost a full week for me to be able to make the trip down. I was amazed that he could hold off that long but, sure enough, he did.

Glad to see this thread taking off.

Next up for me is The Beatles Yellow Submarine set next week. Also thinking about picking up the Wall-E set. Reviews of that one have been very good with many saying how fun it is to build.

I was thinking to myself the other day about how cool it would be if Lego came out with sets of all the MLB stadiums. Probably a pipe dream but I would love that!

One of the funnest things we do is go to the lego store and maximize the number of logos we can get into the cup. The store in Detroit is laid back and will tape the lid on for you. So we put all the blocks together first and then put them in there. Always feel like we get good value out of the cup and we have a lot of fun choosing the bricks and getting them all to fit.

Going through this thread has made me want to go and order a bunch of lego kits. Good stuff fellas.

I could bring some in to work. Kids still love legos

There's some sets I really want (Kwik-E-Mart and Ghostbusters firehouse), but I just cannot justify dropping $200 on something I have nowhere to put.

Yeah. I really want that Ghostbusters firehouse as well but I just have nowhere to put it. At least the smaller sets I can display on a shelf or a case.
