Hi Colby, welcome aboard, good to see some new people posting.
lugnet.loc.au has some fairly off-beat conversations at times,
but that's part of the charm, possibly stemming from face-to-face
meetings that the Bris-Syd-Melb axis members have had over the past
2 years. Get along to a MUGs meeting and join the fun.

The infamous Lego brick diaspora. The MUGs have a couple of set
re-constructers in their ranks who might be able to help you
with parts info and availability for completing sets.

Children do have their uses. Lurking in Lego aisles for extended periods
of time appears almost normal when accompanied by an ankle-biter.
But when they start talking at the register the game is up.
Checkout droid: "Who are these for, aren't you a lucky boy ?"
My son: "They're Da's"
Meanwhile I gaze off into the middle distance and pretend to recognise
complete strangers.
