said this a few times on here so sorry for boring anyone but I used to have a pretty big lego Star Wars collection. I had everything they produced up to the release of the third (sixth?) film with a nice / boring (depending on your point) of view minifig army but then I stupidly sold it... :-x

Yup! I have all of the Castle Lion Knights, Black Knights and Forestmen sets (barring 6071 grrr), all of the Insectoids and UFO Space and recently I splashed out on the Lego Vikings! I also purchased a shedload of Fairy Belville as a surprise present for my mum a few years back. Check out the Mutour for it's subsequent descration! I had most of the very first Space ranges, all with boxes, as a kid and stupidly sold them at a jumble sale when I was 15.

I have been resisting the Undead and Dwarves from the Castle Fantasy Era range for a while now, my resolve may weaken at Christmas!

Well, I don't have many Legos per se, but I hope not to be discriminated for having Armaníacos... my bro customized some of them as DC charas, and they can blend with Batman Legos.
The upper row are the normal sets, while the lower row are the customs: the heroes are Batgirl (Cassandra Cain), Batman (Bruce Wayne), Blue Beetle (Ted Kord), the Flash (Barry Allen), Green Lantern (Hal Jordan), Icemaiden (Tora Olafsdotter), Lady Kid Flash, Robin (Tim Drake, McDonald's Lego), the Ray (Ray Terrill), Sun Boy (Dirk Morgna) and Superman (Clark Kent), while the villains are the Joker (with Jokercopter), Lobo (with his motorcycle), Mr Freeze (Victor Fries, McDonald's Lego), the Penguin (Oswald Chesterfield Cobblepot with his submarine, McDonald's Lego), Reverse-Flash (Eobard Thawne) and Talia.

The big Lego Star Destroyer is quite frankly amazing the only thing that has prevented me from buying it is the cost. I hear they are bringing out a Mon Calamari Cruiser too which should be most awesome.

Similar in style too, I used to be a die-hard Kubrick collector, but have since fallen waaaaaaaaaay behind and I might as well re-mortgage if I have any hope in catching up. Here are some of the carded Star Wars ones I have:
