I remember building an Eagle (from Space 1999) out of Lego.... I thought it was just Christmas... I had just the right number of blocks to make it, it had a laser on the top, room for a man to sit inside... and had plenty of caps to put on a green base to make a landing pad (like on Moonbase Alpha)
But then I discovered the diecast version, my old Lego one looked very sad...
I ended up giving my Lego away to my cousins... who recently sold it on Ebay I found out last week!!!! I bought it all, they flogged it off!!!! Serenity Now!
