It would be so funny to see Darth Vader ride a motorcycle. Especially if he had Lego boxes strapped to the back of it.

Well a true playa would drive this with the seat back a little and sporting a gangsta lean with some rap music pumping out da trunk. :P ;) Just like this guy but just imagine a steering wheel in his left hand...

Not after the heart attack he just experienced. :P ;)

Well they are in trouble because Anakin is as dumb as the day is long. ;)

These are known as the survival sets. They are great but they where designed with the hopes to keep the company alive. Is that succeeding; to your opinion? It also seems to me that Lego has created a great offensive; a truckload of Duplo sets to market to the young'uns to 'breed' new Lego fans. Is that true? Or have I just overlooked the Duplo line the last couple of years? These are known as the survival sets. They are great but they where designed with the hopes to keep the company alive. Is that succeeding; to your opinion? No I'm not. Most of the kids that are into playing Lego need instructions and do not know what to do with buckets. This is why the Creator sets were created. Lego has lost a bunch of kids to video games, computers, MP3 players, etc. Most of these kids no longer play with Lego. No, you are very correct. Lego has been developing a ton of new Duplo sets to get kids into Lego at a earlier age. The other thing that Lego has learned in the past few years is kids want to grow up faster and play with adult toys such as computers. This is the reason why most new sets are marked as starting out a year or two younger than before.

LOL!!! ... don't do it Anakin, for the love of god no.... :-D ;)

Anakin looks like he is trying to remember his next horrible line.

You can thank MP3 players, computers, the Internet and video games for that.

as Orlego high-fives Vader.... :-D :P ;)

Ok, you know they are thinking some terrible diologue. :P ;)

Most of my SW sets are stacked up in storage bins because I have no room to display them anymore.

I thought he was Tobey Maguire. :P ;)

True but sadly creativity has been lost in today

I will check TRU today and report back any findings. Damn I'm going to need more bookshelves and a bigger room after this year. ;)

Very, very true Vader. And yes, I think we have all heard of Miniland but I call it all city even before the new "City" or "World City" theme came to be. I have known about 4886 for a very long time but was powerless against the forces of the Lego Marketing team. We just need more sets like 4886 just to spark life back into the city/train themes. When you go into a hobby shop you will find all sorts of cool things for model railroad builders. Lego needs to build more sets based the model train set ideas. I can build anything if I have enough bricks but others, especially kids need sets to show them how cool the themes can really be. Right now I use model railroad magazines to get ideas on what to build. But if Lego started producing more cool city/train sets that appeal to a wide audience and see people are interested then maybe, just maybe, new molded track pieces would be made. Right now it would be really nice to have wider curve rails, new electronic switch rails, a roundhouse *wub* , DCC controls, new town lighting, etc... Just think about the possibilities.

Hmmm, could be..... ;) Just imagine the cool Matrix sets we could have had?

Hehehe, my store is only about 10 min away from me. Orlego starts running from his own army...

Grown men that know way too much about girls toys??? :D ;)

It looks great Matt! Keep up the good work. *satis*

How about Strawberry Shortcake?

Must you torture us with your realistic thoughts Vader? I

S@H & Lego Store at least. I will still get my 30% off :P ;)

It would be great to have this set made primarily of bricks. That way I could really build my new brown collection when Wal-Mart has this baby marked down to $30 after Christmas. :P ;)
