It took me a while to figure out what people meant by Dark Ages. I
never had a Dark Ages; unless you count years B.L. (Before Lego). I
started at 7 and I have been going strong ever since. My parents were
always great about it. They stopped buying me LEGO, but were more than
happy to drive me to the store where I would spend my lawn mowing money
on Technic sets. Like the Bulldozer, the Mobile Crane. While it is true
that I stopped buying LEGO during my high scool years (Freshman to
Junior year) I never stopped playing with it. Then senior year my
parents bought me a train (7720) what I was doing in TRU I do not
remember, but when I went home I told my parents what I has seen. Merry
Christmas Chris. During my senior year I also started working at LEGO.
While working at LEGO my collection grew tremendously (some sets were
available on the "damaged" shelf for 1/3 retail, but even with the
"damaged shelf" helping out my collection is small as compared to many
of you out there). I bought Train set 7722 for $18 and change. (WHOOOO
HOOOO!) College, after week two the LEGO train came out. The train was
so popular with my friends that I went home and got the LEGO Collective
and we would build while doing other "college like things". As a matter
of fact during Senior year me and a suitemate would clear out the common
room and play a naval warfare game with the Black Seas Barracuda an the
Carribian Clipper. Anyway, I am glad that I never went through a time
without LEGO, and I am glad that everyone else came back. It is great to
see what everyone does with their addiction.
