Hello All,
Well, I'm 27 and have been into Lego since about 1978 or 1979. My dark ages
happened kinda funny. I did not want to be seen purchasing Lego from about
1984 to 1991, so I missed most of the best stuff, didn't I? :)
I must have built hundreds of things with my existing collection until about
1989, with a spurt of creativity for a shelf piece every year or so.
It wasn't until I saw the Pirate series in stores that I swallowed my pride
and began to buy Lego again. Used to say if anyone asked that I was buying
for my nephew! :) Now I don't care who knows and my friends, neigbors, co-
workers and local retailers all know my habit. My habit has favorites in this
order Castle, Space (Star Wars included), Pirate/Imp. Guards and Aquazone. I
have not gotten excited about town since Lego evicted them all from their
houses, though trains are cool (don't own a one though).
Additional question: What was your first memorable set (Duplo not included)?
Mine was the Alpha-1 Rocket Base :) and it is the wallpaper for Windoze on my
computer!
