I have more boxes/whatevers to store legos than I have not storing legos:).

      In any case, I went back and took out a number of my old ships and they ended up being more in quantity and diversity than I originally thought. Some are fairly cool. I've been somewhat inspired to not only dig through and find the rest but also use them as models for ships for EV ships (eventually). Thanks to all of you.

      Yes, this topic has inspired me, too. When I get the time (in roughly: 5 eons) I'll go through my legos. I think I have about $2000 worth, who knows. My cousin (about 8 years old, he doesn't know how lucky he is) has better legos then I do, and he throws em away. It really is a shame.

(Also note that parenthesis within parenthesis are sometimes confusing (when they end at the same time)) You must always close parenthesis (with a ) symbol) because otherwise it will confuse the reader even more.

    • Throws them away?!? What is he, nuts?
      Tell the kid to send them to you (or me for that matter ;)).
      At least send them to a charity of some sort, or sell them at a yard sale. I've gotten good legos at yard sales.

    • I think that I am to young to really remember blacktron. I started getting into lego's just as Ice Planet and Space Police where leaving. (by the way, I REALLY wanted the ice planet cruiser! It was way cool!) My favorite series were the Explorians. I have all of their ships but one. The last set of lego's I got was a long time ago, my parents decided years ago that they had spent enough money on lego's and wouldn't buy me any more. Then, when I got the money all the good sets were gone. I really sucked. But, oh well. I have on really cool ship that I designed, but I don't have anyway to get it on the web.
      Also, I have some of those older sea ones. Aquazone and some scorpian one.

    • I think I remember the Ice Planet Crusier. Anybody got a picture of it?

    • Some of the ships you guys have been describing sound really neat. How about posting some pictures?

      Are you willing to buy me a decent digital camera or a scanner? I have an old QuickTake 150 (made by Apple, that's right, Apple, very old), and it wouldn't do justice for anything I've made. I have no scanner.

      If you're talking about the official LEGO sets people have been mentioning (like the M-Tron, Blacktron, Space Police, Ice Planet, and so on), the (url="http://"http://guide.lugnet.com/set/")LEGO Set Database(/url) on (url="http://"http://www.lugnet.com/")LUGNET(/url) may be a resource you would like to examine.

    • For those of you who use POV-Ray, there's a bunch of people who have the time to model most every brick. They'd then assemble the models using the modeled bricks. But, what does this have to do with Ambrosia?

      Ambrosia? We're talking about graphics design processes! Okay, only loosely...
      But come on, these are Legos we're talking about. They are the root of all creativity!
