My dark ages started abruptly... I went off to college. However, starting
around 1984-85, I really was not interested in acquiring new sets. At that
time, my interest was primarily in Space and I thought that the space sets
were becoming too specialized. I continued to build all throughout high
school (I had a large train table in the basement that doubled as my lego
table).
When I left for college, I carefully packed up my collection and stored it
away. I never really thought much about lego in college. I did buy one set
each Christmas for the school's giving tree (I wanted other children to have
the same joy I had growing up), but strangely, I had no compulsion to buy
any of the sets available. I'm sure that I passed up many a Guarded Inn on
the shelves.
Oh well, I'm just glad that my dark ages are over.
