It's even harder to find 'normal' Lego afficianados. :)

I remember having like, a Space Shuttle set, and a Police Station set... Little race car sets you could buy, that sorta "normal".
I find it kinda sad that Lego nowadays seems to have... Sold out? I will never understand how they can make Lego videogames... Kinda defeats the purpose to me.

It is neat that they have a "build-your-own Lego design" thing now though, that you can submit your design, and then buy the parts from Lego to then go and build it.

for a while I was really worried about the direction Lego was going, though I do really like the most of the star wars sets and a lot of the other pieces they've been coming out with, even if the sets aren't great. I prefer to build my own things anyway. However, certain sets for exmaple make me very happy about the direction lego is going, and i do so love the video games, they're a ton of fun and don't defeat the lego purpose at all.

I suppose I shouldnt place judgement on the video games... I've only ever tried a demo of the second Star Wars one, and it really wasn't a long enough play through to give it a fair chance.

That set you linked was really impressive! I had no idea they had stuff like that, or this. Good to know that's out there, as you said in an earlier post, you do just need to know where to look. ;)

The video games are really fun, the Star Wars ones are probably some of my favorite games. Just saying.

Congrats on 6 years! That's very impressive! Keep up the good work. :)
