There seems to be a bunch of wonderful stories about people's Coolest Lego
Experiences! My coolest Lego experience falls into a more retrospective
moment! It was 1998 and I had only discovered the joy of building with Lego
bricks. I never had any when I was a kid. My interest was in the pirate
theme and I had only managed to build one crossbone clipper and one MOC of a
small ghost ship with parts from two sets of the time twister series. That
was all the Lego I owned. It was about 3 weeks from Christmas and I had
recently won a Black Seas Barracuda on Ebay that was mint in the box. The
set arrived in the mail and I had a whole evening to myself. I opened up my
dining table to full size and carefully sorted out the parts from the set on
a piece of felt that I spread across the table. I turned on some mellow
Christmas music, fixed myself some tea, and sat down and started building.
I think it took me about 3 to 4 hours to complete the model. I took my time
and fully absorbed myself into the process while humming familiar tunes with
the radio. It was complete Lego bliss! All other thoughts dissappeared as
did all my troubles, my worries, and concerns. It was a sublime form of
meditation whilst building. It was a perfect relaxation therapy and it left
me completely satisfied when I was done! For the first time in my life, I
was "one" with the Lego building process and I was hooked. It was a moment
I will never forget and that ship is still displayed proudly on a shelf in
my bedroom. A reminder of the how simple things can often bring us the most
joy!
Thank You Lego,
Tom

| Inspired by John's post ((URL) I would love to throw out a question! What is your coolest LEGO Experience? Maybe you built an amazing castle when you were eight years old. Or perhaps you've had a more recent experience like watching an FLL robotics (...) (22 years ago, 6-Dec-02, to lugnet.general, lugnet.people) !!
