Here is my only input: Please do not confuse the AFOL Lego community with the Brikwar community. Brikwars is about fun and carnage. Build nice troops, build fun mecha, build cool tanks, but in the end fight wonderful battles.

Have a good time. Try not to take the "normal" AFOLs serious. If you can make a nice looking mecha from the two sets you just bought, then great. Have fun with it. Blow it up in a battle and then build it again.

That is my .02 :wink:

Bionicle and Bionicle-stuff makes for great superbig guys for minimal investment. I've seen the old Knight's Kingdoms big dudes used as titans around here. :)

Lego building works like many other things: the best way to become awesome is to look at awesome people's work and steal ideas from them. A good place to start is the Building School, especially their Building Techniques section.
