Actually, when I went back to check my purchases for the whole of 2014 & 2015, I was in shock as to how much I (over) spent. These were the items I bought:

Wall-E (21303)
Technic Race Truck (42041)
Technic Race Kart (42048)
Technic Heavy Lift Helicopter (42052)
City Heavy Haul Train (60098)
Star Wars Millennium Falcon (75105)
Technic Crawler Crane (42042)
Technic Street Motorcycle (42036)
Technic Mercedes Benz Arocs (42043)
Technic Volvo L350F Wheel Load (42030)
City High Speed Passenger Train (60051) x 2
City Train Station (60050)
Star Wars UCS Slave I (75060) x 2
Technic Mobile Crane Mk II (42009)
Technic Mercedes Benz Unimog (8110)
Star Wars UCS R2D2 (10225) x 2
Technic Supercar (8070)
Technic Mobile Crane (8053)
Pirates Imperial Flagship (10210)
Star Wars Slave I (8097)

Sigh. I think all of us here have a Lego addiction....

That was a one-off purchase. I found that I didn't quite fancy the pirates range after that... same thing with my London bridge. That was also a one off purchase, and was tempted to get the Creator Sydney Opera House, but realised that buildings weren't my interest.

I would DEFINITELY buy that!!!!

These are the kind of sets that I enjoy building & collecting: from my personal collection - the Technic sets are in my living room, the Star Wars sets are in my basement:

Thanks for the kind words. Since the photos were taken, I've already finished a Technic Cherry Picker and the Technic Race Car Am now working on a very old set - the Technic Ferrari 599 GTO

More Lego pr0n for all of us hopeless addicts:

The Mercedes Arocs:



Two UCS Slave I:



THE UCS Millennium Falcon- this is the second set I have, and as you can see, it is still MISB. Next to it is the London Bridge.



This is the super star destroyer UCS, next to the Unimog.



And my UCS ROTJ Death Star II MISB:



The Technic Race Car:



And, you can just glimpse the Cherry Picker to your right, next to the Technic Scrambler:

Don't recount, my friend.... the truth will be too painful hahahah

Yeah, that's my other vice... I have a whole room full of Academy, Tamiya, Dragon, ICM, Trumpeter, Hasegawa, Verlinden etc etc etc ... and my wife isn't happy!

This is what she built for me at our basement, to house all the Lego sets I have not finished building yet:

Haha, yeah. I already have display cabinets in the hall, and she refuses to let me build any in the bedrooms, so the only place I could get more display cabinets was down in the basement, just outside the lift entrance. I'm already very grateful that my poor wife allows me this indulgence. Between the 1/35th & 1/32nd plastic modelling kits, the Lego sets - Technic, Star Wars & City Trains and the car collection in the garage, she has been a very patient lady.

In case she's browsing these pages: I love you many many, darling

Please, my friends, I'm not here to flaunt whatever money you think I might have - I'm just very happy to be part of this great community where we can all share our passion together - be it Lego, transformers, 1/35th or other scale modeling, Star Wars or our car/motorbike/vehicle collections. I'm here in the hope that I can contribute to our common passion, that's all

I see your light saber and I up one Star Destroyer

Another view of my Star Destroyer - this is the non-UCS version one. I have 2 UCS ones unbuilt yet. Will show those when I'm done with them. For now, enjoy:

Yes, the UCS Imperial Star Destroyer has more than 3000 grey pieces, approximately 3.5 to 4 times the number of pieces of this version. It's more than a metre long in length! When I'm done building them, I'll take photos and show you

I'm hoping & wishing & praying that they'll release a UCS version of Poe's X-wing. It'll go very nicely with my old UCS X-wing & the Red Five UCS X-wing....

Thanks to this wonderful, magnificent Lego thread, I went back home and started to look through my collection of Ultimate Collector Series for Star Wars Lego. Here's what I have in the cupboards:

7181 TIE interceptor x 2 sets
7191 X-wing (the old one) x 2 sets
10030 Imperial Star Destroyer x 2 sets
10129 Snowspeeder x 1 set
10134 Y-wing fighter x 1 set
10143 Death Star II x 1 set
10174 AT-ST x 2 sets
10175 Darth Vader's TIE Advanced x 1 set
10178 Motorized AT-AT x 1 set
10179 UCS Millennium Falcon x 2 sets (best investment EVER!)
10188 Death Star (playset) x 1 set
10212 Imperial Shuttle x 1 set
10221 Super Star Destroyer x 1 set
10225 R2-D2 x 2 sets
10240 Red 5 X-wing x 1 set
75060 UCS Slave I x 2 sets

I'm really in a dilemma whether I should get the TIE figher 75095 or not. Frankly, I'm not impressed with the design, but it's such an iconic item in the Star Wars Universe...

Sorry bro, I can't bear to let any of my precious babies go... I could however, take some nice photos of the R2-D2 which I've finished building and share it with you later when I go home for lunch

I don't dare to do inventory on my Technic sets....

OK... sigh. Here is my (probably 80% complete inventory) - I'm pretty sure I got a couple of extra boxes here and there that I didn't take into account. The more I count, the more sakit hati dompet saya I feel...

8043 Motorized Excavator
8046 Helicopter
8051 Motorbike
8052 Container Truck
8053 Mobile Crane
8068 Rescue Helicopter
8069 Backhoe Loader
8070 Super Car
8071 Bucket Truck
8110 Unimog
8292 Cherry Picker
8420 Street Bike
9398 4x4 Crawler
42000 Grand Prix Racer
42007 Moto Cross Bike
42009 Mobile Crane MK II
42030 Volvo L350F Wheel Loader
42033 Record Breaker
42034 Quad Bike
42036 Street Motorcycle
42041 Race Truck
42042 Crawler Crane
42043 Mercedes Arocs
42048 Race Kart
42052 Heavy Lift Helicopter

After my Lego Star Wars UCS (I didn't even bother doing an inventory for the non-UCS items, like Jabba's sand barge, the Hoth battle scene, my non-UCS, non-motorized AT-AT etc), and after my Technic sets, the only other significant Lego theme I haven't itemized and tagged is the Lego City & Trains kits... I really don't dare. Dompet sakit sangat...
