tweedbean Posted July 2, 2015 Posted July 2, 2015 Hi all, I am new to here so I thought I would say hello. Im 30 and recently got back into lego after watching the movie then a trip to lego land with the children. When younger I had tonnes of lego which disappeared into my parents loft when I got older. Last week my parents dug it out so I could have a play and I have ended up finding the instructions and building a number of sets already. Lego land was amazing and made me feel like a big kid again. We stayed at the Logo hotel in a pirate themed room and the children loved it. I also got given the ghostbusters set for fathers day. Quote

tweedbean Posted July 6, 2015 Author Posted July 6, 2015 (edited) Thanks for the welcome, I have started to sort out my lego collection from when I was younger. Unfortunately my sister cleared the loft out and threw away all the instructions however, I have found http://lego.brickinstructions.com/ very useful. To help me find the parts I need, I used some old storage drawers I had in the loft to sort the lego into colours to make it easier to build the old sets: Organising by James Baker, on Flickr Sorting mini figures by James Baker, on Flickr This meant I was able to build my first old set, Fire Breathing Fortress 6082 from around 1993, the base plate is a little damaged but im not too fussed: Fire Breathing Fortress 6082 from around 1993 by James Baker, on Flickr Fire Breathing Fortress 6082 from around 1993 by James Baker, on Flickr I also have some new sets from my visit to lego land and fathers day.
