The Informer Posted October 16, 2014 Posted October 16, 2014 Hi all. I emerged from my dark ages in the late 90's when I picked up a few train sets I'd always wanted as a small boy, and used to frequent rec.toys.lego on usenet. Then I lapsed back into a kind of grey age, and fortunately soon had two boys of my own in the early 2000's that kickstarted my interest in a serious way. Since then I've been very hands on, collecting this and that, never really concentrating on one theme - just buying what I liked. And too much of it. 14 years on, and my eldest is entering his dark age so I'm becoming a bit more focused on what I want to collect, and now I'm about to start MOCing in a more serious manner. I need to get to grips with LDD or Bricksmith, but that'll come in time. I'm a hopeless hoarder and live with an AHOL which causes the odd issue at home... A shelf full of modulars, and a mind full of plans won't help either. Nor will the bricklinked 10179 stashed in the cupboard waiting to be built. I follow several forums, mainly lurking and occasional posting and if I can I go along to the Lego shows or events when possible, I do, such as STEAM this year. I live down in Kent, UK with easy access to Brand Stores of Brighton, Bluewater and London which doesn't help the cause, and I do a bit of trading, buying and selling to support my addiction. I have quite a bit of free time to use with my hobby, for one reason or another, and probably spend far too long reading about and collecting stuff than actually building. Best... Quote

Borador Posted October 16, 2014 Posted October 16, 2014 (edited) Welcome to Eurobricks! You mention that you buy too way too much of what you like, but I must point out that there is no such thing as too much LEGO. Sometimes it seems that way, but actually the real problem is space and finances to keep up with the LEGO. Too much LEGO simply cannot be. Edited October 16, 2014 by Borador Quote
