Yeah.
Castle & Town started me off. In 1988 (I think?) When the first four pirate
sets came out, I went nuts - got them all - doubles, triples, and quadruples
of all but "Black Sea Baracuda" (The number eludes me.) I quit collecting
Town at that point, IIRC.
Since then, Pirate and Castle have been the themes I've collected the most,
but Space has also intrigued me somewhat (M-Tron, Blacktron II, Space Police
II, Ice Planet, etc.).
Now that my Lego out-weighs me about 10-1, I switch from Theme to theme
about every two months ;-). For example: Now I'm working on a Castle,
whereas in early February, I had my Ice Planet Iceberg going.
