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 (...) (25 years ago, 8-Mar-00, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Yep. I was an all-around lego lover at ages 5-12, no favorite theme. But I felt I should migrate to technic after 12 for some reason... we had a lego- logo class using dacta stuff and I loved it. So after one small techie set I bought a really (...) (25 years ago, 8-Mar-00, to lugnet.castle)

(...) Start with the minifig ... go with the theme;) Verneer has both a space and a castle version, and whatever is necessary for him becomes "in" for the time. (Castle or Space). I am too much of a minifig person though, so I am very biased;) -- pn (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)
