I love it.
Often, literally, a pillow fight but may include similar situations like volleyball, particularly when wardrobe is skimpy and the action is bouncy.

If i'm rich, I'm gonna make a theatre room that looks exactly like the TNG Enterprise bridge. The controls in the arm of the captains chair will controll the projecter.

I can't see myself playing Lego without baseplates. It's my least favorite part of BrikWars is the expense of baseplates. Because I put a lot of time into making my terrain I hate just setting it on a table.

building displays without baseplates is good for your mental heath, for displays SNOT flooring is best, especaly when you know that 5 plates on there side = 2 studs.

yeah base plates would be cheaper but lego is wimping out on base plates in the new sets. which is really unfortunate. gone are the days of raised platforms with rams and what not, in fact one of the few sets that actuallly comes with a standard sized baseplate, is the creator house, not the beach house since it has a half plate rectangle. either that or its freaking terrible baseplates, like the one for the new pirates island, it was on sale for 18 bucks at target so i went ahead and got it id say it was barely worth the price even reduced as it was.

Baseplates are overpriced and few, but I love them. I have something like, 6 large gray ones, it would be a <b>crime</b> <i>not</i> to use them.

true i just wish lego would use them as a build basis for sets. so you can expand your baseplate collection.

Yes! Another person thinks similar to myself, although I would have covered every flat surface with baseplates.

Well, that would make an uncomfortable bed and chairs. One room is good enough for me.

Beds aren't flat enough, though if they were I would do it. I wouldn't really mind it on chairs, they are tiny little bumps thats it.

I thought you meant having everything made with studs.
