(...) It was early 1998. I had a nice collection of LEGO models assembled, including Adventueres, Extreme Team, Aquaraiders, and my beautiful <set:4554 Metro Station> I'm not sure what happened. I was eleven, and perhaps I took the box too literally (...) (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 case is very particular; I have always loved Lego since I was very small. The thing is that I live in Venezuela, and Lego doesnt have offices here, so basically Lego sets are imported goods, and VERY expensive. I am talking about 300% US (...) (26 years ago, 24-Nov-00, to lugnet.people)
