Nope!  This is the first thing I've ever discovered in my life that I want to actually collect.  I've bought and sold hundreds of Multitools, but I've never collected them.  I kinda collect coins, but only very intermittently and I never pay to get them, it's usually stuff I find in my change. 

I'm having a blast collecting minifigs though, it's awesome!

So where are the photos showing 90+ minifigs.  I don't know if you are familiar with the term  :worthless:?

I'm having some work done on my house at the moment so they are all neatly packed away in a safe spot for the time being.  I don't have an updated pic, the last one I have only has like 12 figs in it.  As soon as this project is done, I will take a good photo!!   :D

I love those creator sets!  I have two of the larger ones.  Tons of fun if you need to just zone for a while. 

Pics of the Minifigs are coming, I have been crazy busy this week.  My flippin house has about driven me over the edge with all the remodel and crap.

The Imperial Assault Carrier - one of 2 kits that comes with Sabine Wren, and the only one that comes with her helmet.  :ahhh the other I believe is a speeder bike where she is helmetless  :facepalm:

Tell me about it. Just finished another model...the Imperial Shuttle Tydirium.















I have one other set to complete and I might take a break after that.

No...but it was most interesting.

I just finished the Millennium Falcon Force Awakens Lego model.





It opens up quite nicely.


You can sit a figure inside the central laser compartment. That round hatch opens on a hinge.


Some details of the rear section.


Towards the front.


This was a very fun build with 1329 pieces in total. The instructions for this one were a tad difficult as many steps required a search for where the pieces were positioned in the illustration step. It turned into a big where is Waldo event on a few of the steps necessitating my having to go back a few times to fix some minor errors...but that is part of the fun.

Anyone ever wonder where the cargo goes in the YT-1300 Stock Light Freighter?  Doesn't seem like there is a lot of space to haul stuff....
