[QUOTE=MostlyClueless] Yeah, I built lots of [those](http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=172461) too. And bond-cars, knightrider’s KITT… all other kids were asking for regular toys, as I just built them with my own collection. [/quote] I did that. I mean I had _real_ Transformers too, but that’s how I learned to make them out of lego. I never had any kind of, like, official Transformers lego, just a big box of random bits and pieces with which I would construct whatever I wanted. And I was _this_ close to building the giant electric dinosaur with which I would have taken control of the government – _one_ lousy servo motor away – when we moved and I lost the rest of the pieces.
