I go through this from time to time. What I usually do at that point is
SORT. It helps that my collection is perennially disorganized. Looking
at pieces usually gives me ideas.
I finally got my Akro-Mils bins! Yay! 66 gorgeous plastic bins, in
friendly Lego-like colours. ALL MY 1x2 PLATES FIT IN ONE BIN! YAY!
The Great Binning begins tonight! Muhahahaha
Yeah, the 8475 is a little *odd* in how it goes together. But it sure
is fun. I put together a mini dual technic spring-dart-launcher on the
auxiliary output last night - it uses a micromotor so it jams like
crazy, but who cares. Push one paddle - BOING! Push the other paddle -
BOING!! Whee! Then I have to reload, of course. Sometimes I wish I
had a pet to terrorize.
I'll have to build a 6-pack rotary launcher. Heh heh. You know, if you
tied a minifig grappling hook and string to the front hole of each dart,
and coiled it so that it would be thrown clear on launch, you could
really screw up someone else's 8475 by tying the wheels in knots :)
But I am overloaded, I know what you mean. I got the rtl13 unit, mostly
built and languishing; I've got the Train 4.5 thing to do and stuff to
get ready; my wife to murder and Guilder to frame for it; and I'm not
even going to the Smash event :P
I'm swamped!
