I'd say 3/4 of my Legos are in ziplock bags. I go through phases and display whatever happens to be the "in" theme at the time. Like when the new Mars Mission sets came out, my shelf was all Mars Mission. The Agents came out and that became the display item of choice. Now, in order to show a bit more variety, I tend to mix it up so I have say 2 of the best sets from each theme. At the moment though, I've broken that rule and Aqua Raiders and Castle is hogging the limelight. If I had a spare room, I'd set up the ultimate diorama - all my classic space sets mingling with each other *homer drool*.
Newly acquired sets:
Ferrari Finish Line and Scuderia Ferrari Truck
Scuderia Truck in comparison to Agents Truck
nice!
The TheCleanKindAndNiceDigger dropped off Vader's Tie Fighter to me today. Thank you, sir!
I didn't realize the Scuderia truck was that big! Very nice.
I indulged in some Lego this weekend:
L-R: 8990 - Fero & Skirmix, 8979 - Malum, 8991 - Tuma
Front: 8977 - Zesk
I'm not the biggest Bionicles fan due to huge disappointments with the one or two I bought the past few years but these hand-picked one's were great.
Zesk is a nice little 4 legger. I love my 4 leggers and this little dude is a lot bigger than I imgained and a top notch looking small set.
Malum is your typical standard Bionicle. Usually the regular Bionicles is pretty sparse in terms of build and armor layers, but this one caught my eye due the heavy armor and large claws, rather than wasting pieces on huge weapons over a skeletally bare robot frame.
Fero & Skirmix is a nice little combo. The picture is a little misleading as the two big ones on the ends are the size of a Leader class transformer figure. Fero (the black rider) is your standard small set bot. Skirmix is a nice Raptor like creature with double jointed leg links and double jointed neck. Also comes with faux suspension for that extra mechanical working look. A great build and what I expect out of Bionicles.
Tuma on the other hand is the best Bionicle set I've ever laid my hands on. The build was fun and interesting, with plenty of layers and links as opposed to the basic limb builds of the regular sets. He has the faux suspensions on the legs and double jointed arm and leg links. He is very tall and looks the part with his black and fluro green scheme. Also nice to see that Bionicle figure now have proper hands.
Might have to try some, Stompy, good reviews. they do look fun but I findthat the parts aren't usable for more of the thinks I'd like to build which is why I avoid them generally

Bionicle parts are their own thing. Using Technic style pegs and ball joints galore. Cheaper, softer plastic used for the bulky parts (Hasbro grey!!!!) and a build system that is quite difficult to get into. With saying that, there has been some phenomenal MOC pieces out there that baffles my brain, because I for one cannot make a fancy looking one even if I tried.
Plus any MOC's out there just makes me sad. Shows just how crap my creativity is.
