Sergio,

Normally, I don't do "me too" posts, but hopefully this one will help the
effectiveness of the point trying to be made here.

I consider myself to be an active AFOL. I created bricksonthebrain.com, I
have more parts than room in our apartment, and I even work for LEGO for
crying out loud! But even I find myself in times where I have something else
I want to use my leisure time for. No biggie. Dark Ages aren't a bad thing
so long as you don't doing anything during them that you end up regretting
later, like selling your collection.

Trust me, from someone who at one point had the entire GI Joe line and now
has absolutely none of it...DON'T SELL! You will kick yourself in the pants
for years (and years...and years....). Just set them aside and when you get
tired of the Nintendo, you will have something to come back to!

Hi Lugnet users,

I am moving next week and like Lego fans always do, they pack up their Lego.
I am 15 years old and I have been actively collecting Lego since December
1996 up to now. But, I haven't even looked inside my cabinet since this
summer, I've been more interested in Nintendo lately. With this moving going
on and decreased interest in Lego these days, I don't know if I should even
put them back together. Maybe I will have renewed interest once I've
reassembled the sets, but I don't know if I will even have the motivation to
do that. Is this what's it's like to enter a <gasp> DARK AGE? I'm now also
even starting to feel embarrassed to fool with Lego in front of my friends,
who all still own Lego and liked Lego for as long as I have. Any thoughts on
this? Any advice from you AFOLs? I would really appreciate it. Later.

(...) On the other hand, for you AFOLs and others who have become separated from your collections...*don't* kick yourself, because it doesn't do any good. Take it from someone who was very experienced at regretting things - it won't change the (...) (24 years ago, 15-Dec-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.people)
