hehehe... my dark ages happened kind of the standard way... actually I always
had sort of an off-and-on relationship with Lego. When I was a kid I'd get
some sets, play with them, and then forget about them for something else. The
first set I clearly remember having was the Exxon Fuel Tanker, but I know I
had Lego before then... I liked some of the town stuff, but Space was my
favorite for a long time. I even built a moonbase when I was about ten. It
had a large (at the time) statue of a space man. It used up all of my base
plates (with at the time was only a few 32x16 plates and one 32x32 plate. It
fell apart one night when I was moving it back to my bedroom after showing it
off in the living room, and I never bothered to rebuild it.
For years I cycled through periods of Lego Enlightenment and Lego Darkness,
but finally I fell into the Dark Ages and stopped playing with Lego. I came
out of the dark ages when TLG came out with the SW sets... :) I actually kind
of struggled with it until I found Lugnet and realized I wasn't the only adult
who had a hankerin' for the little bricks... <G>
Luckily my folks don't throw anything away... :) My bricks got scattered over
the years however, so every now and then I go dig through some boxes at my
folks house... I usually find a good pile of legos... :)
