As I point out in nearly every post, I’m not terribly motivated.  I make posts now and again when the inspiration strikes, and while I sometimes wish I were as prolific a writer as others here, I’ve accepted that it’s just not my thing.  Part of my lack of posts is due to me putting in a ton of overtime at my job, and when I’m at home, I find that I just want to sit in peace and quiet, with no TV on, and so no anime DVDs being watched.  But, just sitting and staring blankly at a computer screen is only fun for the first 7 days or so.  After that, I find I need something to occupy my time.  Ever since I was a kid, I’ve always loved Legos.  I had many kits of them, and of course a lot of the fun back then was mixing and matching them to make my own creations.  These days I still love Legos, but they have such amazing kits that I’m quite satisfied building what they show.  In this instance, I really got back into building with Legos a few years ago when I came across a Lego store in a mall.  Never having seen a Lego store before, I went in and was instantly hooked on their Star Wars collections.  I started with the Super Star Destroyer Executor, and haven’t looked back.  The most recent kit that caught my eye was Slave I, which is Boba Fett’s iconic ship.  It was a nearly 2000 piece set, and the final product is about 18 inches tall.  Instead of me rambling on more than I already have, I’ll just let the pictures do the talking.  For the most part every picture is the completion of one bag of parts, of which there were 13.

Well worth the $200 and 5 or so days (only doing a couple bags per day) it took me, and it’ll look quite nice with the SSD, R2D2, and the AT-AT that I also own.  My only regret is not getting into this much earlier, since there are several limited edition sets that I’ll never realistically own due to their insanely inflated prices.  Yeah, I’m talking to you Ultimate Collector’s Millennium Falcon and your $5,000 price tag.  Could have had you for a mere $500 when you first came out!
