13. Invasion! - 4estFeller - 1 point 21. Containment Breach - phuonom - 1 point 41.Deployment Island - commanderhawk - 1 point 54. Floating Rocks of Algastarr - Guy smiley - 1 point 65. Planet Express - Oky - 1 point So very very hard to choose. So much awesome.

I'm probably going to spend the same amount. The problem is that this year there's MORE I want to buy, but I can't.

Hello. My name's Dušan. I go by Dr. Legostar or D. M. Jeftinija. I've been building with LEGO for almost 3 decades now. I've only recently gotten on to flickr and started sharing some of my work. http://www.flickr.com/photos/67320293@N07/ I'm also the author and builder of the first and longest running LEGO webcomic. http://www.legostargalactica.net/ I'm trying to get myself more invovled in the various LEGO communities and this seemed like a great place to do it. I'm pretty sure I could have made that introduction more awkward, but I'm not certain exactly how I would have done so, so there you have it.

Here's my entry for the Micro Sci-fi Contest. A survey ship scouts a rocky planet for life and life finds them. There are a couple more pictures here and here. Just slightly different angles.

Pretty much that many. Might have a couple more beyond that, but not much more.

Whatever it was that started it, it's a shame it was ended. Would love to get more licensed minifigures the way we can get the collectible ones.

Ultimately they just need to do Star Wars Collectible minifigures. 16 different background characters or character types, then you can amass the droids you're looking for, or storm troopers, or clone troopers, or officers, or whatever.

That is a good point. It would be nice to be able to buy a 4 pack of straight storm troopers, really, just to bulk up the background for me and armies for army builders. I would love to see more battle packs of imperial officers just to get four more of those uniforms. Also, and this is quite possibly entirely irrelevant for army building but a battle pack of four random Jedi would be great, especially if they're species that haven't been out before.

I'm in a little bit different situation. I'm not out to build armies, I like to get as much of a variety of minifigures to put into my comic. In that sense the new battle packs are great for me, they offer a bigger variety of figures and have a great minifigure to price ratio. I can see where it would be frustrating for army building though, but then you get an addition to both armies with each purchase, instead of buying two sets to get more clones in one set and more droids in another you buy two sets to get more clones and more droids in each.

Recently I've been trying to get more involved with the general LEGO community, started posting things on flickr, working on other projects, but for the last 10 and a half years my primary reason for building has been Legostar Galactica. It started as a single comic to make a friend laugh and I just kinda kept updating. Some of you may have seen it. Some of you may have read through the archives (and are currently suffering from PTSD from doing so). Some of you may never have heard of it and migh want to check the archive out... I recommend packing a lunch and possibly a dinner. For those of you who decide it seems like something you might want to read I wish you hours (days?) of entertainment to catch up with those who already read. Comments and questions are always welcome. If you must throw fruit, could you please make sure it's fresh, the rotten stuff is terrible and I can't use it for a snack later.

Very nice custom horsemen. I'd feel bad for Ronnie, leaving before they got popular, but he seems so happy.

Thanks! Great to be here!

Try to control myself and not buy every single new awesome thing that comes out in 2013 (And there are SO MANY!) since my wallet couldn't actually handle that.
