Hello, I'm not sure if you remember me, but I used to be pretty active here before. About six months ago, I entered a short "dark age" but now I want to start building again, and posting on Lugnet. However... I picked up the 2002 catalog to see (...) (22 years ago, 14-Apr-02, to lugnet.people)

(...) Remember that you (hopefully) still have all your old bricks. LEGO seems to be dropping the "Basic" sets from the shops in Denmark (I found _one_ single box in two shops last weekend), but I hope that it then at least will be possible to order (...) (22 years ago, 14-Apr-02, to lugnet.people)

(...) Yeah. I agree. There's some good stuff online, and hey, I've grown up with late 1990's and 2000's Legos, and I'm doing fine. If you can afford it, try bricklink or ebay! Parts are doing pretty good this year: lots of sets with nice parts. (...) (22 years ago, 14-Apr-02, to lugnet.people)

(...) Ebay and Lugnet are about the only thing that have kept me building, or for that matter, out of my dark age. I'm doing fine myself, as well. For the last year or so, I have avoided Bionicle, Jack Stone, etc, and focused my building talents on (...) (22 years ago, 14-Apr-02, to lugnet.people)

Others have replied to your post already, but since you've been here off and on for quite a while, I thought you might be interested in an aspect no one has brought up.

There's nothing really going on out of the ordinary here. This happens to at least one "large collection" person a year, if not more. I stated my reasons - I live in a 2BR apt, and I'm looking at buying a house (this was a longtime wish, but just (...) (22 years ago, 15-Apr-02, to lugnet.people, lugnet.general)

Thank you for your replies! I had no idea Hugo was missed that much... Your replies made me want to go building right away. :) John Kruer wanted to know my age: I'm 17 years old. I'll be sure to check out the links you gave me, too. It feels nice to (...) (22 years ago, 16-Apr-02, to lugnet.people)

Yikes! My lego stuff is probably very much like your own, mass-wise. I don't really want to think about it any more than that though... Admittedly, some is not Lego proper, but I think you have the same clone thing going, right? -- Hop-Frog (22 years ago, 18-Apr-02, to lugnet.people, lugnet.general)
