I loved the old Greivous minifig. My bro has it, and the first thing he did when he got it was bring it over and play out some gag about grievous getting his ship destroyed in space, and he gets blasted apart, and then his pieces just float there and his head keeps trying to catch the rest of his parts so he can rescue himself. 'This sucks.... what's that? Is it.... yes! Yes! Oh! Oh! It's my arm! Yes, yes... closer... closer... yes...*gets whapped in the face by his floating arm* AAAAGHHHHH! NOOOOOoooooooooo!
lol Ah, well, he does it better than I do, but you get the idea. It was funny as heck.
@Boss: Yeah, I just didn't get that into the Turbo Tank. I loved all the figures, the Speeder is still one of my favs, and I liked the turret a lot, but the tank.... was just not that practical. I mean, at least if it were an AT-AT I could have knocked it over in battle.... XD (I'm such a Rebel) Then again, the insane custom base I built sort of enthralled me more than any of my non-starfighter sets ever did. Dang thing was 4 levels and had guns all over it. It's actually sitting partially restored on my TV tray right now, but I don't have enough room to keep building right now. lol It's got a landing platform, upper level with a sort of parapet walkway all the way around and a bridge, a main level that's darn near impossible to shoot the occupants of, and a trench. Yeah. A legit kriffing TRENCH! I love the trench, in case you didn't guess. lol And of course, it has Hoth style turrets all over the place.
Speaking of Hoth, whoever mentioned the snowspeeders before, yeah, I have two of them that are both the 90's versions, and probably enough parts for a third but I'm not sure. I may have used my last cockpit canopy on my second custom ship. lol
When I was a kid, I had a lot of the 90's sets. Still do. THOSE I can remember all of: X-Wing, Slave I, Snowspeeder, the Swamp Chase, Watto's Junkyard, and.... well, that was about it. lol I've gotten a few of the older sets at shows and things since then. The original Jedi Starfighter, the Luke surrendering to the Stormtrooper mini scene, the Emperor's Throne Room mini scene, ALL the Podracer sets (which I really use more for parts than for having the pods. I likes to focus on my base and starfighters for display, the racers don't do too much for me. Sebulba's is tight though. And I think Aldar Beedo had a freaky minifig. Wonder where that one got off too....
As far as Bionicle, I loved it when it came out, but gave up on the thing about halfway through the second story series. I had the fire guy and the rock guy, but I never actually got to take them to school and fight in the playground tourney's with em'. Boy there were a lot of those though!
My favorite was always the Ice guy, but I never got him. He was cool.
Back to the starwars sets... I had a friend back then that actually got the Clone Gunship when it first came out. AND the AT-TE. Man, I'd still love to have those sets. Never pay the money for them, I don't think, but dang they were cool!
