Umm, WOW, yes I do.

But this begs the important question, where is the LEGO U-boat?

Haha, I like the lego P-3. I loved legos when I was a kid, and we still have boxes and drawers full of pieces from who knows when.

Waaaaaaaay expensive. Although lego is kind of like that...

With nostalgia for my childhood days though, I've occasionally messed with Lego Digital designer - can just feel those blocks on my hands. built a fleet submarine and recently began making a battleship turret. Check these out:







Quite proud of this one, too bad I can't have her in my room!

Do you know what the estimate was that Lego gave me on buying all the pieces for this one?

About $3500

The Lego P-3 detected her snorkeling on a VLAD buoy and sank her with a Mk 46 torpedo.

EDIT: I played with Legos all the time when I was a kid. Then I grew up and started building stuff with 3ds Max!

Still got a big box of Legos in my closet along with a busted Lego Soviet Foxtrot.
