After much agonizing over the price, I ordered myself a Lego
Star Destroyer for my 25th birthday. It finally arrived on the 12th
of December, and I spent 20.5 hours putting it together over the next
weekend. What geekiness! What fun! What a wonderful set!
(It was missing three pieces, admittedly. And I passed the time by
watching the third and fourth seasons of the Sopranos, 17 episodes of them
anyway...)
(Update 06 Mar 2003: I got the correct pieces in the mail yesterday
and installed them. The Star Destroyer is now complete. And perfect.
Mmm...)
