We couldn't afford Lego when I was a kid. We couldn't afford much of anything when I was a kid. Hence now I'm an adult with a comfortable income, I buy all kinds of toys Lego collecting is a costly business though sigh.

Hence now I'm an adult with a comfortable income, I buy all kinds of toys Lego collecting is a costly business though sigh. Yeah. I actually only ever got them for Christmas and birthdays, and they weren't terribly big or the "cool sets", but they were always LEGO brand. Then on that fateful day I turned 11, my parents got me "cool sets". I was finally given Space LEGOs. (Blacktron and Ice Planet) That sealed my fate. From there I expanded into other systems. (I really miss the old Pirate sets ) I have probably spent 75% (high side) of my lifetime disposable income on LEGOs ever since. Who said obsessed? I'm not obsessed. I can quit whenever I want. I'm just having too much fun.

I have six LEGO dudes standing on a shelf on my desk. Each time I bump the desk though, one or more fall over. I know they make bases for them, but wondered if anyone else had any ideas... A flat 2x10-12 piece or two?

FYI, that's seven. I think the piece you mentioned would work fine. Maybe 2 or 3 of them. I would allow each minifigure about 4 studs across.

A flat 2x10-12 piece or two? I have large sheets for mine in my cabinet. I would recommend a 4x whatever (or link a few together). a 2x whatever can still fall over when bumped. EDIT: and I would agree, allow at least 4 studs width for each minifig

Awesomeness! Thanks for the advice. I can see how a wider base would be better. FYI, that's seven. I think the piece you mentioned would work fine. Maybe 2 or 3 of them. I would allow each minifigure about 4 studs across. LMAO! So it is. Hey, it was early...lol

Oh! A lego Star Wars thread! Excellent... I've been collecting since late 90s. And I still do. Most in large bags in boxes (fully constructed) for lack of display room. I'd say I own most of the "normal" sets ever made (not the minis, etc). And only 2 of the special ones, including the chrome N1 Naboo Starfighter and my pride-and-joy: Imperial Star Destroyer 10030. That one took me two straight days to put together. And yes, it's as beautiful as a dream. Every few months I go on eBay to see what a used one sells for... I also have 3 of the Imperial Star Destroyer 75055. Those sitting next to the 10030: looks like an Imperial II class with 3 Victory class destroyers. Quite the fleet display! Long term dreams include gluing all pieces together and hanging them from the ceiling in a room in a far bigger house....but that may be a retirement dream. The two I like the most is the TIE Interceptor and TIE Defender. Wish I had bought 2 more of each while they were being produced. Something about exotic, beefy TIEs I guess. lol The next one on my list is Kylo Ren's Command Shuttle.

I saw this and initially thought "This is the dumbest ship design ever." Then I saw the movie and was even more discouraged from buying the set as the wings did not pivot.

Ummmm....I honestly did not realize the wings didn't move. That IS dumb! You just saved me a purchase, thank you!!!! Krennic's shuttle it is then. That one has folding wings.

There are some folks who have made modifications (relatively simple ones) to the Kylo Ren shuttle, which permit the wings to move properly.
Maybe when I get it, I'll build it in such a modified way.
Krennic's shuttle IS pretty nice. The new A-wing, aesthetically, is an interesting mix of the previous red and white A-wing and the green and gray one from the Rebels two pack (which included the TIE Advanced x1. I think the vertical stabilizers/engine assembly are canted a bit too much for an ROTJ era A-wing, but it's a nice kit. It's a quite different build from either of the previous versions. Different enough that I'm really looking forward to picking up the new Y-Wing, even if it does end up looking, externally, very much like the older one I have on the shelf.
I'm hoping for new X-wings soon, either from Saw Gererra's small squadron, or depicting Blue Squadron, or maybe both, since they did a regular blue and gray T-70 as well as Poe's black and orange one.

That's my next buy. Apart from that I haven't been too interested. I'm a Rebel not an Imperial, haven't had much want for the Empire ships

I almost bought a bunch of StarWars Legos at the convention I just attended for $5 a piece. Then after looking at them and pulling them apart realized they were knock offs. 🙁 So I didn't get them.

I read that, seems simple. But...I've not modified a lego sw set yet, doesn't feel right to do it now. <shrug> I want a U-Wing.
I was surprised in liking this one more than I thought I would. It looked ugly and blocky on the box but the wings make up for it. I almost bought a bunch of StarWars Legos at the convention I just attended for $5 a piece. Then after looking at them and pulling them apart realized they were knock offs. 🙁 So I didn't get them.
Knock offs?!?! I might have grabbed a few for $5 each. Just to leave in the box and laugh at.
