Picked up a book called "The Cult of Lego" @ MPH today. Really interesting and they talking about the Lego history and how the simple bricks influence millions in this world. This is nice... a tribute to all AFOLs rclxms.gif rclxms.gif

QUOTE
It happens with nearly every adult LEGO builder. First, there’s the
initial exposure to LEGO as a child — a few models for Christmas,
perhaps, and maybe a tub of bricks from an older relative. Then,
as the child enters adolescence, priorities change, and they aspire
to adult trappings such as clothes, dating, and a driver’s license.
Unfortunately, these priorities seldom involve little plastic bricks.
Thus begins the Dark Age.
The Dark Age is a time when kids decide that they’re too cool
for LEGO and set it aside, dooming the bricks to languish in a basement
or be sold for a pittance at Mom’s garage sale. Of course,
for most people, being LEGO-free simply represents growing up.
When we reach adulthood, we set aside our toys, don’t we?
However, some adults (more than you may think) in their Dark
Ages return to their LEGO hobby. Perhaps a dad picks up a set
on a lark, or he helps his son or daughter build a model. Or maybe
a college student happens upon a box of bricks at a thrift store.
Once those adults are reexposed to LEGO bricks, something
magical happens: They begin to build again, but this time they seek
out new challenges, such as building scale models or reproducing
classic scenes from cinema. They spend eyebrow-raising amounts
of money on bricks, sometimes straining bank accounts and marriages.
For those who rediscover LEGO, the Dark Age is only an
unfortunate hiatus in a lifelong hobby.

Malgus ship design not bad la. The cons is that the figs are too few for the price tag.

could agree to that, they should add another sith, (forgotten his name, but double blader i think) from the cinematic trailer

but anyways, we cant argue that this set is still awesome.

QUOTE
LEGO initially underestimated the demand that these minifigures would create, particularly in America. While stocks were often plentiful in European stores, the minifigures were in extremely limited supply in other territories and shops would often sell out their small allotments within a day. Later series' redressed this issue, but Series 1 remains a highly sought-after item because of these problems.
so how was it like when series 1 reached MY shores in 2010? at that time should be relatively unknown, right? did local shops bring in any? did anyone start the picit2 craze? just curious ....

I heard the first 2 series was quite expensive, also why it did not sell so well. The first I bought was S4.

I do have a couple of 30004 left....bought them for the stand too. But you may need a few to support the weight.
