Greetings and salutations,
We had the most wonderful time last night -- with the first member
meeting of the Vancouver Lego Club. If those who attended the meeting
are an example of what AFOL's are like, we are very proud and honored to
be amongst such spectacular people.
Thanks to Denzil, for her assistance in getting things set up. She also
brought along the film crew, a la Adventurers, complete with her
individualized mini figs. For someone who only a couple months ago got
into Lego, she certainly has the passion and zeal of an old timer.
Kevin arrived right on time, bringing with him his monorail and numerous
train hoppers. It was great to see the monorail setup amongst the train
tracks. Kevin also gifted us with his very detailed Lego three-story
home -- everything and more than any mini fig could possibly ask for in
a domicile.
Robin and his lovely partner brought with them wonderful stories imbued
with lifelong Lego passion. Never will we forget the story about the
gentleman whose furnishings comprised completely of Lego blocks. Don't
forget to purchase that Lego book from Chapters.
Claus came a long way to the meeting, bringing along some vintage space
Lego (drool)! Certainly one of the most fortunate, he has been able to
procure inexpensive Lego from sources none of us could ever find Lego at
-- I imagine Claus beat us all to the punch.
TFM showed off his RCX train, an MOC train tanker, and newly built train
hopper. A demanding man at the helm of train conducting, he caused a
couple of derailments -- the imperviousness of Lego is a wonderful thing
:-)
Xandria shared her view of the New Castle Lego as well as sharing her
Belleville Witch Cottage set. She also handed out membership cards.
Lego was built. We played "guess the year in which this and that piece
were made". We talked about being AFOLS, the future of Lego,
juniorization and so much more. Lots of Lego was played with and fawned
over. TFM & Xandria caused some horror in the others when they revealed
a cut up grey base plate (used to embellish the grey non Lego mountain
which accompanied a Fright Night set).
Thanks to everyone from making this a successful first meeting!
TFM & Xandria

| Well, I sure had a fun time! That's the biggest train layout I've been part of so far (not big compared to the big train clubs, but still... gives you a respect for the amount of $$ spent on track by those guys! And it was great to meet in RL with (...) (25 years ago, 6-Mar-00, to lugnet.org.ca.vlc)
