I'm sure, by know, everyone has seen the BrickCommander site, or a similar one. Well, LEGO as released its own take with Exoforce.
I don't have a link to put up, but the kits are actually rather slick. LEGO has come quite the ways in being able to create working joints, and the Mechs themselves look almost plausible, in a decidedly anime way.

Complete with Dragon Ball Z style hair for the humans

You need LEGO sets!!!!?

Come on, I've been building LEGO mechs for 15 years or more. You're like those wimps who needed a new piece to build a B-Wing, or couldn't figure out how to make a X-wing's wings, or the AT-ST's legs move.

I had semi-automatic, sliding, rail-guns with recoil suppresion systems in 1992.

And mine looked styling with enclosed cockpits and ejection systems. And they had fully articulate arms, and they had rotating torsos.

I scoff at the creativity of the LEGO people.

Though I salute them for being Danish (but that's a topic for the Saloon).

I've been sadly disappointed in LEGO for the past 6 years or so, their designs simply lack the beauty they once had. Everything seems much less fleshed out as it did in my day (early-mid 90s)

Go to the TotalCon picture thread (pinned in the main forum) to see Avalon Hill's Circus Maximus played using LEGOs

Problems seemed to have arised last week, when I had my "reading week" break from college. Being bored out of my skull for a week, i dug out all my old Lego...

My room is a complete and utter disaster now...
