Hello everyone. I've been lurking for about a month, trying to absorb
everything you all are writing about. I'm 28, and just getting into LEGO.
I'm sure i had some as a kid, but nowhere as deep as most of you seem to be.
I quit smoking, and needed something to do with my hands while watching tv
and stuff, and someone suggested i try LEGO. Well, I picked up a blue bin
and fell in love. But now I have a problem. I have a new addiction :).
But, since I'm on a budget, I can't just run out and but a bunch of
different sets, of buy 30 lbs of mixed pieces on ebay. So i ask all of you,
which sets should i buy that will give me a lot of interesting parts and
colors to build my own creations. I bought some of the power bins, but I'm
looking for some sets that will give me the biggest bang for my buck. I
look forward to hearing your suggestions.
Matt

| (...) Hi Matt, I suggest that you start with the basics, litterally. Forget about buying theme specific stuff for now. Go out and buy a few blue tubs (#3033) and some Classic Buckets (#4222 is a good one). Buckets tend to be more economical and have (...) (24 years ago, 2-Jan-01, to lugnet.general)
