Aw, you guys are fantastic :)
KielDaMan, I am a big fan of Batman in general, so I got "back" to Lego (used to be a Lego Technic addict when I was a little kitten) via Batman. I'm counting the days until The Dark Knight Rises!!
I know the sets are ridiculously expensive, that's why I collect single bricks and use the download building instructions from the Lego website. Not the "true" way, but in this way at least I have the set bricks. Maybe I'll get lucky and get my hands on real paper instructions :D
SpiderSpaceman, I am studying Art History, and the thesis is for my Master degree (the German "Magister", as it is the pre-BA/MA generation study. But similar to the MA.). Will start on Monday. For sure.
