There will never be another era like the Golden Age of Hollywood.  We didn't know how to blow up buildings then so we had no choice but to tell great stories with great characters.-Ben Mankiewicz

Lego doesn't need to be pluralised.

The large print giveth, and the small print taketh away

Thanks Bill, that's fascinating.  Pity it wouldn't float!

     I built a model of the Yamato when I was a kid. It was small plastic one.

I am currently working on the last lego Helldiver out of the 280 in Task Force 58 and now that the position of the ship has been revealed, I will launch my attack shortly

Ouuuur Staaaaar Blaaaaaaazers!!!!!!!!    :D



On a semi-related note, my kids and I have been playing Lego Batman on ye olde Xbox for months now, most highly recommended if you have little 'uns about....

The man that hath no music in himself,
Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds,
Is fit for treasons, stratagems, and spoils.
The motions of his spirit are dull as night,
And his affections dark as Erebus.
Let no such man be trusted.

-- William Shakespeare, The Merchant of Venice

 LEGO Concentration Camp Sets!  By Zbigniew Libera











See:  http://www.chgs.umn.edu/museum/exhibitions/absence/artists/zLibera/

An excerpt:

QuoteDuring an academic conference in Brussels in December, 1997, an agitated audience, who felt that the Lego Concentration Camp was a real toy which was available for sale, demanded that I comment about why I constructed it. My response then, as it is now, was: "I am from Poland. I've been poisoned."

- Zbigniew Libera






"Meet Miss Ruth Sherwood, from Columbus, Ohio, the Middle of the Universe!"

- Brian Aherne introducing Rosalind Russell in  My Sister Eileen (1942)
