It's funny I had to convince my daughter that it's okay to play with the legos. She's so used to not being allowed to touch my stuff lol.

My own kids are OK with my collection, and actually enjoy looking at it. It's funny, if I decide to sell something to make room for something else, it becomes a family discussion on what can go and what can stay (I have final say
Its when my kids friends come over that I have issues. One came over to stay, and he has a LOT of Legos. While I didn't mind him exploring the Legos that I had on display, it was hard for him to make the distinction between playing with the Legos and not getting to play with the Hot Toys figures. I kind of felt like a 3 year old; NO! That's MINE!
). He noticed I had an empty shelf in the detolf and he told me I needed to buy more things to put in there. I've let him hold some of the simpler figures (Stealth Cap, Mechanic Tony) but he knows he's not allowed to go into the cabinet unless I'm with him. He did act out the scene in IM3 where Tony is underwater and JARVIS removes the hand to save him with the figure 
Yep they look like fun toys from the movie but nope you can't play with them, not at those prices! 
My Thinkway Toy Story figues are the ones I need to keep away from kids!
Congrats Josh! Thanks for another contest Zod! And thank Mrs. Zod for boxing up more of your stuff! Tell her to pack some Star Wars stuff into a box for me.
You just cursed yourself! If you buy anymore, duplicate after duplicate after duplicate! I bought both of the Simpsons series, and still have no Hibbert. I have all the rest, but ended up with 3 dupes even after feeling them. One was my stupidity, but the other two were just tough. Hibbert feels just like Homer, and that's what that tricked me, so I have 2 Homers already. I'm scared to buy another, and dont want to buy on Ebay since it doubles the cost... I hope to find one locally at a toy show or something...As a new Lego addict I started buying these series 14 minifigs. Can you believe I didn't get a single duplicate out of 8? Pretty lucky IMO!
I need the Kwik-E Mart. I should buy it this month, with the double points...I'm trying to decide on my next set. I want to be like Will Farrell in the Lego Movie.
That's just awesome! Heck, EVERYTHING is awesome!!!If you or anyone else is able to take a trip to LEGOLAND California, you'll be treated to the entire set that was seen in the movie. The basement where Will Farrell kept that LEGO city. Every single piece was transported and displayed, but they said that it's only temporary.
Those were tough. I figured out the first after 15 minutes or so... The 2nd one I knew instantly only because a friend of mine asked me that riddle last year (it relates to his line of work). The 3rd one is tough. I took a stab in the dark. I hope I'm right, but I'm not so sure. It's the only answer which makes sense to me, but I could be overlooking something...
I really want the Death Star. I just don't want to pay that much...That's almost Death Star pricing and the same as the Helicarrier! It took me forever to get the Lego rewards I have so there's no way I'll have enough to get it for free if it's $350.
What, no Lineface option???
Seriously those are tough. I wants em all. But I'd probably go with Pinhead. Or Freddy. Or Jason. Or Michael. One of those... There are pills to help get your Woody to stand!

I can only pick ONE??? Man, I've had back luck with collectibles. Most were due to my own stupidity. I guess I'll go with the quickest I ever broke one. I bought a Yoda vs. Dooku diorama on Ebay. I bought a NEW one, so there was less chance of damage or breakage. I opened it up, and it looked great. I then tried to put the statue part into the base, but was having difficulties fitting it into the slot. I was doing this while holding both pieces, and decided that was dumb, cuz I could easily break something. So I set the base down, then set the statue part down. I looked at the statue carefully, making note of Yoda's lightsaber. As I set it down, I immediately heard a SNAP! I forgot that Dooku's saber went the opposite direction, out the back side. Broke the entire saber off, and the surrounding paint. Because it's so tiny and thin, it did not glue back on very well. If you touch it, it wobbles, and sometimes falls off again. Plus, the base of the hilt doesn't have paint anymore. I don't have a steady hand, so am scared to paint it, cuz one slip, and Yoda or Dooku is silver...
