Supposedlt it is like 5 feet long. In lego prices, that would be about $750 or so...<P>I miss the old legos. I think the golden age of Lego was about the time of the Ice Planet series...then it started to go downhill

Pirates are a given, as is some of the older castle sets. <P>I have all the ice planet sets except for the base. All dissassembled though. :(

I never got any pirate ships...I almost did, once...but I chose some hockey stuff instead...<P>My cousins had a couple pirate ships though...they were great. <P>Oh, I liked those Aqueanoughts I think they were called...something like that...the ones with the submarines and stuff. Those where fun.<P>Anyway, yeah the ssd looks awesome.

My favorite set was always the exploriaan sets. loved the blacktron and space police though. i was always into making custom rebel fighters before there was an official lego star wars series. i made decent depictions of the rebel fighters (z-95, x-wing, y-wing, a-wing, b-wing.) they all looked like shit, but it was cool anyway. <P>that was basically star wars rpg in a very rudimentary form.
I like otter pops. especially the purple ones.

My favorites were the Pirates, Black Tron and Castle series... one question though, was there more than one Castle series?<P>I never owned any Pirate ship as well, but they were really awesome. Back in the days I made a Y-wing and a TIE Defender(for cockpit I use a "glass" brick of a Lego-compatible toy called Tyco). The TIE Defender looked really decent, too bad I never took a pic of it.

There probably where several castle series. I had a few widely different castles. But I only remember the name of one of them. Maybe on the instructions. I actually have them all...just not all the piece. :)<P>Yeah for the ships my grandparents bought me this huge one called the "Black Seas Barricuda". It was awesome and enormous. Then I got much smaller colonial British-esque ships, which I forget the names of.<P>Man we are offtopic! but does anyone care? :D

I never got into the giant LEGO sets. Never touched their ISD or Blockade Runner. I liked the smaller ones, easier to display.<P>Unfortunately, of my many Star Wars LEGO sets, only a few remain intact :( Those being my Lamda Shuttle, Delta-7 and B-wing. My ATT Tank is 99% complete, but it's missing the cannon.<P>My TIE Fighter and AT-ST were disassembled and sacrificed to the creation of a big ship my friend and I made.<P>The MTT...that's actually quite a funny story. I had placed my Naboo Royal Starship toy (the big 3-4 foot playset one) on top of my Star Wars shelf. I was kneeling and repositioning some other toys when the ship <I>fell off and slammed right on my head</I>, causing me to violently and accidently toss the large R2-D2 toy (big one, about 6 or 7 inches tall). As luck would have it, the R2-D2 soared right over all my LEGO sets, and landed square on the MTT, smashing it to bits. I never even found all the pieces :(<P>Bah, just remembered that the Lamda is missing the cockpit canopy, and the B-wings S-foils had to be slightly rebuilt with improvised pieces, and now they lack the ability to open or close without breaking off.<P> :(<P>I would REALLY, REALLY, REALLY like to build that Deluxe X-wing and TIE Interceptor.<P>Hmm...come to think of it, the only large LEGO creation I ever built was actually not LEGO, but MegaBlocks :P<P> :D<P>I'd like to start building them again, but they're bloody expensive. I want to do the entire Episode II collection, I like those a lot.<P> Image <P>That...I want to build that. It'd be the perfect compliment for my AT-AT toy.<p>[ 24 July 2004: Message edited by: One Point Two ]

Yeah, I have quite a few legos myself, including the ultimate series x-wing, which totally KICKS ASS. I remeber having the deep freeze defender or whatever from that ice planet mining set. I saved up for weeks. If I could get my hands on the Tantive IV ultimate set... anyway. If you guys like lego Star Wars you should check out <A HREF="http://www.fbtb.net" TARGET=_blank>From Bricks to Bothans</A>. It's got an <I>amazing</I> ultimate collectors set quality Tie Defender as well as a HUGE Death Star I diorama in the customs section.<P>Found some links on fbtb.<BR>Here's <BR><A HREF="http://www.fbtb.net/customs/index.asp?s ... Meeuwissen" TARGET=_blank>The Otana</A><BR>and... <A HREF="http://www.fbtb.net/customs/index.asp?s ... 20Defender" TARGET=_blank>the UCS Tie Defender as well as the DS 1 diorama</A>.<p>[ 01 August 2004: Message edited by: J boy ]

Wow, that is one impressive model. Some people have way too much time, money and Legos. Actually, as everyone knows, the SSD is 17.6KM long ;)

Deep Freeze Defender! That was it. I have that one, in pieces. I loved it :) That was near the end of the golden era of Legos

I loved the castles, I made a castle during my exams to stay sane. I haven't had the heart to break it up yet.
