Prune Face Posted June 19, 2012 Hello Eurobricks! My name is Josh, I'm from northern Indiana and have recently come out of my dark ages. I grew up in the early 90s, and fondly remember classic town sets like 1682 Space Shuttle and 7722 Steam Cargo Train, M-/Black-tron, as well as some Technic sets (especially the pneumatic ones) from when I was a little older. I lost touch with Lego when I went off to college. Earlier this year, I caught some of the after Christmas clearance sales at Walmart and Meijer, and started buying some sets at 50% off (I love clearance aisle shopping!). I had so much fun with the sets I picked up, within a couple weeks, I had driven around to about 25 'near by' Walmarts, Meijer, and Target stores, and had bought something like 30k bricks in assorted sets. I started looking for inspiration in something to build with all these new parts, along with the old ones I still have. I browsed flickr and other sites, looking at creations, and eventually came across collections from Brickworld 2011. I was amazed by everything I saw, so I decided that I had to go, since it was relatively close, to take in all the classes and workshops and view the creations myself. I went to Brickworld by myself, without knowing anyone, and the first day, was warmly welcomed, and made to feel like family by Hinkley, Stash, Peppermint, and other staff and members of this site. I had a great learning experience, saw a lot of incredible creations (like the collab build from Eurobricks members), and had a great time with people who are sure to be long time friends. They encouraged me to join this community, so here I am. -Prune Face! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Prune Face Posted June 19, 2012 Here's my initial set of general Brickworld photos, it's just what caught my eye on my first run through the pictures, so I haven't had time to do any adjustments on them yet, and I'm sure I'll find more I like. Also let me know if you have something in particular you are looking for, have a lot that I didn't upload. General Images - Brickworld 2012 I also went on a spree of shooting trees for some reason, I think I got about every tree on display, micro trees included.
