When i was a kid in the 80s, we came home from school one day and my friend's mom had made almost all of his space lego ships during the day. It was awesome!

Long long ago in a previous marriage far far away. I remember one of those home makeover shows. A guy and his wife had all there furniture pieced together out of Legos in their TV room. The TV stand, couch, coffee table, clock......that's right, I said clock. I was saddened to see when they took it all out. I was like, I want those.
Lego has come so far since I was a kid. I grew up on the late 80s 90s Pirates and Space sets. Looking at things now you just see how far things have come from blocks to slopes and curves of every kind. I'm also really into Technic now and it is nothing short of amazing. The connectors they have now are a far cry from even 8 years ago.
I definitely picked that up at launch! I think it has some very good potential!
It was also on decent Steam Weekend Discount with a lot of other LEGO games two weeks ago, correct?
I agree that it's still cheaper than a 40k army, and appreciate the update on the new sets!So any of you that saw the pictures of my office that I posted a while back know I ABSOLUTELY LOVE Lego.I've always been a fan and even though I'm almost 30(sucks) I still love how inventive the sets are and how fun they are to build. I don't have space to just take random pieces and make new stuff so I settle for keeping the sets intact and displaying them. They are to me what a model builder gets when they are done.
Today Lego released some new sets. I have several weekends and hundreds of dollars to be spent in the near future. Here are some sets that just came out I'll be getting this month with links.
Mercedes-Benz Arocs 3245

Since I'm also a Classic Pirates fan this works out so well. I bought the Mercedes set this morning and by the afternoon it was sold out. Glad I got mine. I'm going to spread the purchases out and get the Crane next and then the Plane and another set to reach the $75. Any Lego fans here like me?
p.s. this is still better and cheaper than trying to buy and paint a 40K army(Which I would totally get if I had enough money and time)
I picked up a 7965 Millennium Falcon that I'm saving to put together after my defense. Ordered it during the Star Wars Sale of 2014, when they were offering those Revan Minifigs. Part of me still hopes that they will do another UCS Falcon as I was a poor undergrad at the time when the first one was released. I saw it in a LEGO Store in the mall and passed up. Though I know I would have opened it and built it. I think few people anticipated how much they would go for these days!

Seeing as I have that one I can help you out. It really is an amazing build. Everything from start to finish doesn't seem like a chore or too difficult. Eve the string mounting was fairly easy. It is solid and fun. Also I liked the colors a lot.
Pulled the trigger on a few more purchases today.
First up is this: http://shop.lego.com/en-US/LEGO-Star-Wars-Stormtrooper-Minifigure-Clock-2856080
It doesn't look very big in the picture but Google came through and it is quite large. Also can be posed like the minifigures.
Second was a new set from the Episode 7 line. The First Order Special Forces TIE Fighter: http://shop.lego.com/en-US/First-Order-Special-Forces-TIE-fighter-75101
And finally in recent years I've started buying seasonal things when they look good so here is the Thanksgiving one: http://shop.lego.com/en-US/Thanksgiving-Feast-40123

I just recovered three boxes of my old Legoes from home. Time to start building some stuffs.
Ok those are cool sets! I like the clock to but I rather get the giant lego head that holds lots of legos :D
It's waaaaaaaay early in the process but I'm working on a Vanguard. Definitely looking forward to getting this one bricked out IRL:
