I came out of my dark ages about 4 years ago. I'm 38 now....

I had given my old LEGO (including blue train track and the
old SHELL garage) to my twin boys and was shopping around
for some Chrsitmas gifts. The Launch Command lowboy tractor
with helicopter caught my eye and I bought it for him.

Then I saw the little BeachBlaster with the single shock
on sale as a promo item. It was my first Technic Set, and
certainly not my last. I revisited the store many times, and
came away with some awesome deals on old sets like the
Rebel Wrecker and others.

Now I have way too much Technic, the kids have way too much
Town, and we all have way too much fun.

Cheers,

  How did you come out of your Dark Ages?
 
Hello, I was wondering if any of you had any interesting stories about what prompted your exit from your Dark Ages. Was there a specific set? Did you visit someone with a layout? Did you immediatety go on a shopping spree? I'll get the ball rolling. (...) (24 years ago, 24-Nov-00, to lugnet.people, lugnet.general, lugnet.loc.ca)
