I used to be a castle person, but I DEFECTED to town

Back when I was about 12-14, I was highly into the castle stuff.

I still like castle (and read this group), but I primarily like town stuff
these days.  In my current LEGO city, only about 15% is castle (actually
just one big castle) and 85% town (well, city).

Strangely enough, when I was about 8-12, I was more into technic.

So, I went technic->castle->town.

Has anyone else had subject area shifts like this?

(...) Yes to some extent. I think my progression went something like this. Basic-town-Classic Space-Technic-Star Wars-Castle Early to Mid 70's was just Basic and some Town. Then I went hard core into Classic Space and stayed with it from when it (...) (25 years ago, 8-Mar-00, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Yes, and it is quite normal. I tend to shift themes about 3-4 times a year. :) I will start making Town stuff, then head over to Castle, then take a brief dip in the Space pool, etc. :) Jeff, "Thallid Lord" ICQ #66153738 (URL) (25 years ago, 8-Mar-00, to lugnet.castle)

(...) i think my favorite theme is "when themes collide" or when i'm able to build something that's not really a theme. i like them all, but if i had to pick a fave it would be castle. i have a couple of town theme projects and space theme (...) (25 years ago, 8-Mar-00, to lugnet.castle)
