So I haven't played with LEGO for like twenty years, but that's going to change tomorrow.
I just ordered the Millennium Falcon 75192[^] set.
The biggest LEGO set for consumers with 7541 pieces (that's probably more pieces than I've ever owned in a single set) 
I have a feeling this is going to be a fun weekend

Winter eh? Stuck inside and need an excuse to avoid talking to the other one.
still I'd prefer to work on something that won't become a dust trap and won't be missing bits after a few years of moving it around.

That's why I currently have my floor at home covered with newspaper and a freshly primed thingie that's about 80 cm long. Red, yellow, black and green paint will follow. If everything goes as planned, it will be able to blow away any dust it collects quite well. I only can't guarantee that it will not lose parts at some point, but that will just be my excuse to build another one.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

Wait until I put the motor and the transmission back in.

How's that any different from other seasons?

I really mix the Lego "sets" of the 70's as opposed to the "kits" since then

Really? With what? Bourbon? Vodka?

I don't think even lego would stoop that low.

If you keep it in pristine condition it counts as an investment.
Those sets (that went out off production) and are pristine are getting sold for 4/8 times the original price now.
Kinda makes me wish I kept mine in pristine condition (of course that wouldn't have been any fun  )

You're right, maybe I should order a second one just so I can sell it for profit

Well apparently it's one of the safest investments you can do these days so ...

I wished I had the money to buy it (1000$)
I've had the smaller Millenium Falcon and a few other Star Wars lego sets as well as some Technic ones.
I gave them all away last years.
I'd rather be phishing!

Ouch... 
I used to have a lot of LEGO as a kid.
I think it's all somewhere disassembled, mixed, missing pieces in a box in my parent's basement

Not ouch, I gave them to a friend of mine with kids.

$1,000 for a LEGO set! In my day there were Red bricks and White bricks and some long, narrow (one bump wide) pieces used for "girders". We also had the new, advanced, sloping bricks used for roofs. oh yes, and some window and door bits. ...and some flat plates for foundations. That's about it!
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

I had mine a little cheaper than that, about $820 (or €720) 
Still a lot of money for LEGO...
It's a friggin sweet set though

I come from a poor family, we couldn't afford LEGO sadly

Sounds like more than a weekend to me.

As my first attempt to put together a clue for WSO CCC, what do you think?
Was it too easy?
