I was obsessed with lego star wars in elementary school. Gonna nerd out here for a sec but I had an AT-AT, AT-TE, Dagobah X wing, republic gunship, tie interceptor among others. I never had more than two bigger sets built at a time before I'd fuck them up and scrap them for random stuff I felt like building. Traded minifigs at school almost daily. The kids with older siblings that had outgrown legos were ballin cause they had all the rare trades.

I was a big Megablok guy. Don’t have them anymore (brother destroyed most) but used to have: aircraft carrier, nuclear submarine, space shuttle, blue angel, Starship Enterprise, Abrams M-1, Harley Roadking, Harley V-Rod, Apache helicopter, destroyer, battleship. Turns out they’d be worth thousands now lol.

I never got them to work (I think I tried sometime in 2015 as an adult haha) but you should try some mods, apparently you can make the rock raider AI better, I remember playing as a kid and they would never follow your "priority list" or whatever. This was where I found everything: https://www.rockraidersunited.com/forum/193-rock-raiders/
But man, the nostalgia, I wish I owned some actual Rock Raiders sets back then.

Cool I'll totally try this. The ai is a little whack sometimes
I always wanted to build something like this as a kid but im pretty sure the train on this coaster was motorized to push it through flat/uphill sections because friction and coaster mass dont scale down linearly
I spent part of my second stimulus check on this bad boy
Legos are so much cooler and more creative than when I was a kid. This one was my absolute favorite back in 2005. Nothing better than playing Lego Star Wars on my mom's old Compaq and then flying some space ships around with my younger brother
I actually just bought a Lego set for the first time in like 20 years on Monday, although I've never actually bought them myself and always just got them for Christmas growing up. Have they always been this expensive? Damn thing cost me 50 bucks and the box isn't even that big. I'm gonna build it tonight

Since the late 1990s, LEGO retails for roughly 10 cents a brick. It's stayed consistent for over 20 years now. With the rise of inflation, LEGO has comparatively gotten cheaper. That set costs the same now as it would've in the year 2000.

Wow, learned something new today. I would have guessed the opposite with pieces becoming more and more unique and needing molds for those.
My girl got me this for my birthday two years ago. I can never look at any lego ever again because they are inferior to this 7500 piece monster. Took 19 hours to build.
