Admittedly, I never get into collectible figurines, though it's not because I don't like them. There are lots of funky cool collectibles out there that I'd like to throw into a kiddie swimming pool and dive into naked to freak out my neighbors. The problem is that they're like popcorn, you grab 3 or 4 but that's just a taste. There's this bottomless bucket calling your name, you buy and buy and use up all your wall space giving the little figs somewhere to hang out, but the series just keep coming! You never knew you needed all 15 variations of Space Rooster! I mean, hey, it's just one more shelf, and there's still some room in the shower, so why not!

If you don't have an addictive personality, you might enjoy being crafty with only a few minifigs. Shayne shows us a quick project that may be appealing to anyone who has to transfer files all time, like to school or an office, by turning a toy into a tool.

Sure, you still have to go to the school or office and be miserable, but at least the mini Robocop plugged into your computer will help you fantasize about shanking murderous robots in the brain stem.
