Okay, so here's a funny question for anyone to answer. I'm constantly trolling around our friend eBay for deals, new lightsaber hilts, boots, you name it. I find it first off annoying when I have to click into the 'Obi-Wan ROTS Lightsaber Hilt' to find that its a .45 replica. I am not four feet tall, so that is NOT proportionate to me. What really tickles me is doing a search on 'lightsaber hilt' on eBay and you return four pages of Lego lightsabers. I mean, assorted colors, Dooku's curvy silver shaded hilt, all made for little Lego characters.
Is there a big market for this? I thought I remembered Jeff or someone showing their CV photos that had Lego dioramas... Are people really buying them up and creating them? Anyone here do that?

Oh yes... the Lego community is HUGE! Minifigs can go for some decent money -- over $10 each depending on what it is. I know people who make dioramas and who make the sop-motiopn Lego videos
And...from what I saw Friday morning at C5... George Lucas LOVES Legos!

Now that you mention it, I do recall seeing a lot of stop-motion Lego on YouTube. Personally, I love Eddie Izzard's skit about the Death Star Cantina, and they did that to stop-motion Lego as well.

slightly off topic...but as I was reading this thread...I was holding a little Lego action figure.
I know at Comic-con in Chicago, my niece was trolling booths looking for lego's which were RIDICULOUSLY over priced since most of them were used, out of box, and did not come with the instructions on how to create the falcon or whatever diorama it was supposed to make.

And of course you have the Lego video game series as well, which has now invaded Harry Potter - and even Rock Band!
