Thanks for all the welcome, guys!

I am getting to the point where I need to store some LEGO sets (opened/assembled, and unopened) in a storage shed. Although I live in a fairly temperate spot (SoCal), the temperature in the shed typically ranges from about low 50s to high 90s degree fahrenheit (10 degree Celsius to about 32 degree) from, say, April through October. What kind of effect can this have on the LEGO bricks and other components? I'd imagine some parts are more susceptible to heat damage than others (for example, the elastic bands and sticker adhesives). I'd appreciate any comments and experiences. Thank you.

Hi all, Is there much overlap between the contents of the Brickmaster magazine and the free LEGO Club magazine? I've got the former, and was just curious what the latter has over it (other than being free). Thanks in advance.

Hello all, I'm Hyun, hailing from California. I'm in my late-30s, and am a newly minted AFOL. I didn't have ANY LEGO sets while growing up (would you believe how deprived I was!). I had a few Forestmen sets while back in college (way back when, when Bush I was the president), but I didn't start getting into LEGO sets in earnest up till about a couple of months ago. It started with the Star Wars sets, and while that's my main interest, now I'm into just about all themes, especially Castle. In real life I work at a university as a server manager. Have a little toddler that I hope will grow up loving LEGO sets as much as I do. My wife supports the hobby, although she's not a builder herself. Just wanted to introduce myself and say hi. This looks like a great web forum and I'm looking forward to learning and sharing. Thanks.
