It's LEGO, like sheep, the singular is the plural.

Right, now i've finished my rant, i have, at last count, £15,000 worth of lego at sale price, with well over 100,000 peices, from god knows how many sets. I've got 3 of the ultimate collectors series, and a crap load of mindstorms.

My most current building project was a fort with an automated double door system. It was a security type thing, one door could open (the motors would stop when it hit the touch center), and only when it closed would the next one open. There was also a light sensor, so should one door open when the other was open, they would both automatically close.

Took me f00kin ages to build into a fort model, hiding all the wires and motors. It underwent several rebuilds when something broke off into the model, had to be fished out, and i could remember where all the bits i'd just pulled off went

Um, i'm going to play now, well, i'm going to play tomorrow, it'll take me several hours to clear a room, move my lego in, get comfortable and put on a good DVD audio commentary to build to, by which time it will be tomorrow morning

Thats a point? What do people build to? Most of the time i spend building lego involves searching for one fucking peice that ALWAYS turns up where i first looked. The LOTR DVD commentaries are my favourite building materials, they always so funny, and you can learn crap loads, not to mention keeping your mind occupied while constructing.
