"The word LEGO® is a brand name and is very special to all of us in the LEGO Group Companies. We would sincerely like your help in keeping it special. Please always refer to our bricks as 'LEGO Bricks or Toys' and not 'LEGOS.' By doing so, you will be helping to protect and preserve a brand of which we are very proud and that stands for quality the world over. Thank you! Susan Williams, Consumer Services."..........................................
Dear Susan Williams,
It is with dire embarrassment (and shame) to admit the sole LEGO room in FriendFeed has an "s", since LEGO was already taken by an individual who DOESN'T EVEN USE THE ACCOUNT!!!!! Thank you kindly for your understanding. Regards, Admin
"If you have a few lego bricks lying around you could try building yourself a Mario or just put in a bid for this monster sized Lego Mario that is being auctioned on eBay currently at $3,289. The creator Dirk VH is donating the proceeds to charity. The Netherlands' Game Mania commissioned Dirk to create this giant Mario."

"Some Assembly Required is a pattern that will enable you to make an adorable toy that can be taken apart and put together again. The head, torso, and legs are independent pieces, so you could make multiple pieces in different colors and they would be interchangeable."

"I built a cello out of LEGO. It is the actual size of a non-LEGO cello. It also sounds different from a non-LEGO cello. Here's the YouTube video that everyone is talking about of me creating the cello brick by brick."

"It's remarkably easy to hack LEDs into Lego minifigures to make awesome, creepy, and tiny decorations for Halloween. In what seems like a miraculous coincidence, a standard LED fits exactly into the head of a Lego minifigure. It's that easy: grab an LED and a head, slip it in, and it fits perfectly. The modern Lego minifigure dates to 1975-8. Since LEDs were already coming in 5 mm packages (also called T 1 3/4 packages) by the mid 1970's, it's clear that Lego minifigures were made to fit LEDs in their heads. It's a sign from above: The little yellow guys are simply meant to have light-up noggins. Who are we to argue with fate?"

I think I might start a change jar at home for something like this - I can't quite justify buying it outright, but if it is from "lost" change, I'm thinking that might be more doable.

i promise to buy this for you someday... all the kids will be working for a living and we'll all chip in to get it for you. so... you'll just have to wait until we have successfully educated our four children enough for them to go to college and get really great jobs doing what they love. by then it will probably going for five times the amount. it will be worth the wait, though.

On my list as well along with the Deathstar, Although I did get the Imperial Star Destroyer last Christmas from my son/me and that wasn't cheap! For the size of the Falcon it isn't that expensive, try findind or buying Boba Fett's Slave I if you want to see expensive for a small set!

"Check out this awesome Lego bowling game by Flickr user Nxtguy. After a ball is rolled, a sound sensor detects when the ball hits the pins and uses a light sensor to check how many pins have been knocked down. After the frame completes, a NXT servo connected to a pair of linear actuators resets the pins. A work in progress, it is currently impossible to get a strike, though you can get a spare." - Text from MAKE
