Hi from NorCal

Hi all!

My name is Amanda and I, like many others, just got back into LEGO. Was a huge fan as a little kid, and the LEGO movie got me back into it. Started my reobsession of LEGO with the movie CMF's, then got the Simpsons and some series 11 CMF's and now going back and filling in series 1-11. Even trying to create some sigs.

I didn't realize that there are so many AFOL, and it was pretty cool to recently discover that. Just looking for a place to talk about LEGO since my boyfriend never had LEGO as a kid and doesn't really get my obsession.

Thanks for listening!

Welcome to Eurobricks. The Lego minifigures are cool, but you're trying to collect them all now? Series 1-5 are like 20 bucks a pop.

Yep. Have to start somewhere. And mostly focusing on the newer ones though and getting ones that are cheap. Also doing a lot of trading. My series 2 and 5 are almost complete from trading alone. Series 1 however, I am holding off. And S2-5 there are ones that go for like 10, but I have found like $2-3 for some of them.

Hey and welcome,

As far as for minifigures. Sometimes you can get lucky, bought a bunch of 27 minifigures yesterday at a fleamarket for 40 euros. And some series 1 and 2 were in it, aswell as roman soldier and elf warrior.

Thanks unclejeffie. I definitely have realized some people just want to get rid of stuff. I got some of my S2 that way too. Glad you found some good ones :)

Rest assured, you will find no shortage of people who can relate to your obsession here.

Best of luck in your CMF quest.
