you know what mate? you´re on page thrity already again...sheesh...^^


the terran flyers tho i couldn´t recognize... same goes for the should look like the gallactica..°°

The one is similar to a dropship I've seen somewhere...but no they aren't all BSG.

It sort of resembles the ALiens dropship a bit.
I found his Flicr page

@Vik- 30 pages? waaay OT, feels like home to me!

so on this converntion artist showed their selfmade concepts... interesting...

Yeah, it was more of a show. The guy who had the big LST also had a booth selling self-made kits of those tanks, and custom Minifigs, and weapons. The tanks were priced at a sharp $100+ pricetag though, I passed.

"Any attack made by the Rebels against this station would be a useless gesture, no matter what technical data they have obtained. This station is now the ultimate power in the universe! I suggest we use it! "

Don't be too proud of this technological terror you've constructed. The ability to destroy a planet is insignificant next to the power of the Force.

No I missed that completely it kind of blends with the crowd, I bet all those kids (including the big ones) are thinking dam my lego box sucks LOL

I've always liked the Lego Warhound - need to get me some more bricks I think...

That is badass! The Dark Red color is fairly new too a.k.a. rare, and probably a little more expensive on bricklink.

Looks like it was made from Atlantis sets - my boy has some of those and the colours/pieces seem to be the same - but yes, it's Lego so expensive is par for the course I guess - although I do find that some great bargains can be picked up at boot fairs (similar to yard sales in the US - i think...)

I do like your progess though on the Death Star, have you got to the detention centre yet?

"Uh, we had a slight weapons malfunction, but uh... everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here now, thank you. How are you?"

You get better boot fairs than we get then, ours are all old garden tools (no use at all ) and old lamps LOL

You gotta find the right ones tbh - generally those at schools are good as parents are trying to clear out old toys, the big fields full of open car boots are bad - too many traders...

eBay has also somewhat dampened the market though as people get more savvy on what stuff is actually worth, but there's always those who just want rid of the clutter and can't be bothered to go through the hassle of listing everything - it's all down to luck

Oh and don't go on a sunny warm day (if they exist in the UK), if you go when it's cold and wet you can get better bargains as the sellers are fed up and just want to go home... At least that's my experience

I see your hardcore booter then LOL sunny whats that then

The chances of finding LEGO like that are rare, IF you find some, they will mostly be primary color bricks, which usually don't help builds like that. No there is an entire secondary market for LEGO, www.bricklink.com, buy, sell, trade by the piece. That's the only way to go other than getting lucky or buying sets just for parts.

that sounds like you know your trade!!! and you are totally right... that´s how fleamarkets work... and i always try to get to look into stuff from middleaged women...there is big bargains to be made... trust me... they are likley to want to get rid of their stuff in a hurry...not really looking forward to bring all their unseeled stuff back home... thats your winning ticket!

No longer FO Dave this thread has become Lego-ized

Always Fallout!- My GF got me a Nuka Cola T-shirt!

The lower half of the Death Star is Complete

the first wip of that deathstar i mistakenly took as a web find...LOL


good looking... you are working in a good steady pace here!

It has a Cargo bay with working lift

And defenses


I'm pretty certain this thing is bigger around than the Cobra Terrordrome playset of my youth

Of course, the Internet found someone who had to build one to scale

LOL! Nuka shirt! and wow, a full size Terror Dome

aren´t the GI Joe bigger than lego figs?

i just love the laser turret of the deathstar... so WWI style!

Yeah, they're about 3.75" tall. Yeah it does Vik

OMG! G.I Joe for the massive win my friend! I love those toys! I used to collect them in my youth and am slowly picking old ones up as i find them so I can be a kid again and rappel across my couches finding hidden Cobra caves beneath cushions!

Oh.... Lego is good too *jealous*

Hell yeah! I spent most of my youth building COBRA forts out of encyclopedias and VHS tapes

Ahhh VHS tapes, the good old days where you got scolded for not rewinding!

They also made perfectly-scaled fortress walls for GI Joes
