I now what do dismantle it all and create one big 'thing' but I've decided these will go on the shelf in a minute to be shown off (do you think girls might not like a 28 year old with lego on his shelf?).

I just feel the need now for a big project like that F1 car although I don't like Ferrari! :(

Perhaps a Star Wars one?

Oh and also, I've been into the MK Lego shop, it was like magical....:p

I'm not even much of a Star Wars fan but this is just awesome:

My Uncle worked at Lego Land as a Security Manager, we used to get in for free quite often.

In the main board room/meeting room, everything was made out of Lego... fruit bowls, fruit, pictures on the walls, ornaments, even the chandaliers were made from lego, pretty awesome.

I worked at LegoLand, in the Wild Woods/Castle Land areas :D Happy days.

Although I wasn't working there that year apparently the year Attack of the Clones was out the park had thousands upon thousands of clone trooper Lego men, and staff were leaving the park with their pockets full of them!

Can anyone remember that really old lego technic advert with the red car that they could drop from so high and it showed the suspension setup off. As a kid i really wanted that but it was sooo expensive at the time lol.

What was it called ?

Now I have been looking at the bulldozer and considering buying :D Good kit to build?

I also really really want the 8880 super car. Never got it as a kid and it was one that I really wanted. In the run up to xmas these are fetching a fair amount!
