Hi Nick - quiet place this neck of the woods - emails are a bit more
sensible, that's why it's quiet.
My post was half-joking.
Well there are 5 ish, #5 seemed to disappear as fast as he appeared.
My own preferences : 8020, 8842 the two sets I love the most. What more can
I say?
Colour, wit, humour, they have it all. I mean where do you sit in an 8020
even IF you are the size
of a mini-fig? Great stuff.
Most painful lego experience : I parted with a 8251 as a present last
saturday (went to a good home though).
Most recent acquisition - my second 8853 arrived today.
Next acquisition : Depending on the post probably another 8020 (or 5090!)
Oldest set: 066 from when I was a lad.
> > > ... [you have] a fair whack of technic stuff ...
Looking forward to seeing that list of yours! Might even be able to help you
extend it (or shorten it!)
Drop me a line anytime - too many UNBELIEVERS looking at this;
not to mention DISBELIEVERS (351 landed (c. 72000 pieces)
frightening thing is, I think had only about 25 sets before last Christmas.
