Thanks Bryce, I am sorry to agitate you (I have this Vegeta strand in me). I
am sorry to word my post in the way I did but I had to understand the
differences between our building styles: buying only one of each set vs. free
purchasing, acquiring sets from the same theme vs. sets from all themes,
building several things at once vs. just one etc.
As for building a 6 footer myself, well its impossible for me at this point
because I have 40 sets most of which are Caste and Pirate and only 3 Technic.
Again, sorry for causing any agitation.

| Bobby, The answer for me lies in what I like to build. I have no interest in making a six foot tall mecha. Most builders create at a level they are comfortable.
