Not sure if it's my "coolest" experience, but it was the start of me
re-entering the world of LEGO. Back in 1996 I was at TRU to get some HO
train track to try and fix up and old HO train set I had from my childhood,
well this TRU kept their LEGO trains on the same aisle as the other scale
trains. I found the 4559 setting there, and as soon as I saw it the
possiblities of LEGO rail-roading just blew me away. I bought the set and
took it home only to be greeted by a very strange look on my wife's face.
She just didn't understand why I bought the LEGO train set and questioned if
I would actually "stick with it". (at this time we had no children and no
LEGO in the house)
Well here it is 6 years later and I have a complete collection of 9v trains,
have a desinated LEGO room at home and run the North Georgia LEGO Train
Club. When she now questions "do I need that much LEGO stuff", I remind her
of her doubts so many years ago and tell her that I do it all out of spite :)
