This creation is called Feram's Leech. Simmons said he wanted to build a full-scale sword that would be sturdy enough to handle.

David Simmons owns nearly 200,000 Legos. Stored in lots of bins, Legos in every size and color take up his office.

Though he was completely taken by them as a child, he re-ignited his passion after serving in the Gulf War. His imagination is so vivid that he makes up a lot of his own designs.

This Imperial Star Destroyer contains 3,104 pieces and measures 37 inches long and 23 inches wide.

The single largest Lego set Simmons ever made is the Lego Ultimate Collector Series Imperial Star Destroyer, from Star Wars, set # 10030 that is made up of more than 3,000 pieces. Now he would like to build a house with the idea of having changeable furniture.

The very early Lego Enviro-Model Police Headquarters, set # 585. The Enviro-Model series was where the proto-Minifig without moving arms or legs debuted.

Here are some quick tips on how to start your own collection:

Lego castle sets can be a great find. A complete Kings Castle, set #6080, made in 1984 can go for more than $70 if it's in its original box. Also, the Royal Knight's Castle, set #6090, can command $140.
Look for Lego kits with crossover appeal. The Star Wars Millenium Falcon set originally sold for $100 in 2000, but is now out of production. This set in sealed condition can fetch more than $300. The Imperial Star Destroyer is still currently available at $300, but it will be out of production soon as well. Get 'em while they're here!
