I'm a big fan of Lego, but I've been disappointed lately that the sets I see these days are too specific in what you can build with them. This guy let his imagination soar, though.

I would love to do more things with legos.
Sadly they are frickin expensive, for no particular reason.
I really don't understand it. I remember having a lot of them when I was a kid, I had thousands of pieces.

Now if I try to buy even just a 100 piece set would cost me close to 50 or more.
Kinda limits creativity.
