My Dark Age started about the time I got my drivers license. It ended 8 years later when I picked up the X-Wing fighter. Thank goodness for the Star Wars sets, otherwise my Dark Age may not have ended. Since picking up the X-Wing I've easily doubled (...) (26 years ago, 24-Nov-00, to lugnet.people)

My dark ages lasted about 10 years, from age 16 to 26. I was in a Toys R' Us about two years ago, just looking around, and decided to check out the Lego section to see what the sets were looking like these days. A few town sets caught my eye and (...) (26 years ago, 24-Nov-00, to lugnet.people)

(...) My dark ages were rather short. They began in late 1996 when Town Jr. started to come out. Town sets have lost their touch since the late 80's and early 90's. By 1999 Star Wars had come out, and I started to become a train fan. Not a fanatic, (...) (26 years ago, 24-Nov-00, to lugnet.people)
