"Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst."

Lego has been around for 50+ years. PS3? What, 3yrs? Lego can be resold for close to (if not more than...) buying price. [Certain restrictions apply.] Games can be sold or traded in for only a fraction of buying price (50% money or credit if you extremely lucky...). New sets become discounted from time-to-time. Games become discounted only after a new game comes out.

Jango Fett's Slave 1 when it was discounted @ K-Mart for $25.

Oh - okay. If I could close the thread or merge it myself I would...

Carp... I can never remember that stuff. I tried to add an attachment, but it was too big. EDIT - How's this? http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Dadster/...icknews_001.jpg

That looks pretty wicked.

Okay - I'm not a huge SW thread follower, so I was just trying to help.

I found this set today in the Easter stuff section @ Target for $3.99 (only one they had...) ------>8033 General Grievous Starfighter BS pic link

Just got a new mag in the mail. Game Informer (#192). There is a little blurb about "Lego Battles" for the DS utilizing Castle, Pirate, and Space factions. I wish they'd do other gaming versions (360, PS#, etc), but until then, I can always borrow my daughters'... From the Article... After conquering Star Wars, Batman, and Indiana Jones, Lego is finally building a game out of its own parts. Lego Battles for the DS uses the toy maker's Castle, Pirate, and Space series for more than 70 missions and six different storylines as players create bases and command armies. Link to small picture... Lego Battles

I'd say Lego keeps its value a lot better than buying a car. No crazy eBay deals lately?

Greetings and welcome!

What fantastic introductions! You want to be called BTK and you are a Bionicle Fanatic. Okay, got it... Hope you enjoy your time here looking at all the other members creations and discussing all things Lego. (Or Bionicle in your case...)

I stopped collecting and building during the HS years and didn't start up again until after my first child was born (just under 20 years), so I re-started in 1998 and have gone full-force for 10 years now.

I like the idea of a taxi themed set. Even if the car can't hold 2 MF's - just make the cars yellow with checkered signs, etc. Not sure how they'd model them after the Euro counterparts (I don't know what cabs are like in other countries...). Bring back the Wild West and Vikings. Templar Knights, Saracen warriors, Mongul Hordes, Egyptians in "Historical Battle Packs".

Greetings and love your avatar!!

Great story! Welcome and enjoy yourself!

Greetings and welcome to the forums!

Greetings and welcome!

PMed you back squeaker.

C'Mon - where has Batman gone into hiding?!

The red beard is from BrickForge, I believe. Happy St Patrick's Day! Anyone else getting the requisite Shamrock Shake at McDonald's today? Drinking dyed-green beer? Whacking snakes?

Minotaurs and Pirate Code look very cool.

Great thread idea. I know "they've" (fantasy line) got a lot going on right now, but I'd prob bring back/ update the Forrestmen, Wolf Pack, Bull Warriors, etc. Wild West would be cool as well though... Oh! And Ogel needs to return!!

An Exclusive offer until April 15, 2009... F5610 Builder (Construction worker pushing a small cement mixer). Just $.01 when buying $75. or more on Shop At Home. Use code PSJ1 when checking out. I agree. I'd love to have all those gray pieces, but the (discounted) price is still too high for me.

I think TLG confirmed no more sets, but I'm buying the game rumors. It makes perfect sense.
