Mine's probably the trans-neon green chainsaw blade if you go by number of Bricklink listings. I don't have any kits pre 1994 so I can't go back too far. I'd love to add one of the old vehicles though! -
Avenged Sevenfold- Blinded in Chains

The two opened sets I ordered arrived yesterday and are in a shape I'd expect them to be in had I bought them off a store shelf. The seller even included the plastic bags the bricks had originally been packaged in. Instructions are mint, I inspected every brick and they are in no worse shape than bricks in sealed kits are in today, and the boxes only showed minor shelf wear that was clearly visible in the seller's listings. The only problem was that the Hydro Reef Wrecker was missing 3 knives. The seller did not describe the item as for-sure 100% complete and those parts aren't really necessary to complete the model, so I'm letting it slide. But it has led to my first BrickLink order, so we'll see how that goes next!

I took a chance with a legitimate looking seller on eBay who had a 6670 advertised as complete and in unused condition sans instructions with a near mint box. I already have this kit from my childhood (missing pieces and in bad shape), so I took a chance and what I got was better than expected- a completely mint kit, minus extra pieces and instructions, for $8. I've ordered another $120 worth of sets from the seller today, I'll let you guys know how that goes.

Spock, that picture was taken just a couple of months after I bought the car from a wealthy gentleman who spent good money keeping it looking so nice. It's picked up a few scratches and scuffs from all the new mileage I'm putting on it, autocrossing, and track days...the key is being willing and able to spend money on keeping it nice, or having the skill to do it yourself. I do care somewhat about the looks though and have a good example of what I'm talking about from this weekend. The car has a pop-up rear spoiler that has a separate painted piece of plastic covering it, it's the small lip in this picture: Well, at the track this weekend, that part fell off the car. Fortunately, an attentive corner worker noticed where it landed and was able to get it back to me. I can't paint myself, so the part is already at a local body shop waiting to be resprayed. Then, I'll reinstall it myself. You just have to correct what wear and tear from use throws at you. Sometimes it's worth it- in this case, severe paint damage is fixable on the cheap, as the part's not big enough to warrant a big charge from a body shop and I can resinstall it myself, avoiding a fee for that. Sometimes, it's not. I have some scratches on bigger body panels that would cost a couple hundred dollars or more to have fixed correctly. Rather than nickel and dime myself on things like that, I just plan to just have the whole car repainted when it gets bad enough. You just gotta remedy anything that makes the car appear not-so-new

Cool to see a game end with an OT safety though.

I'd buy the Land Rover. I'm not too crazy about mechs but the approved one looks interesting, I'll be watching to see what the final product looks like.

He's been bad for more than a year at Tampa Bay as well though.

I'd have to check that out, much closer to me than Florida.

I wasn't expecting him to play that poorly...it's a shame, really, after that win streak he had a couple of years ago. How on earth does that happen?

I'm inclined to agree with the review. I bought this simply because the pirate theme has become one of my favorites despite the fact that I have almost no sets from it; they were mostly offered before I was old enough to have them and during my "dim" ages. Let me put it this way- this pack more than doubled my pirate minifig count. But the quality is poor, with loose joints and colors that aren't quite right on the parrot. The ship in a bottle is sweet though.
