Finkreg Posted July 26, 2015 Posted July 26, 2015 Hi guys! My name is Alex, I'm 30 y/o, and probably in some way I'm AFOL. Let me tell all of you a story how it began... First set of lego I got in summer 1994. My aunt bought me a 6648 set. That time I was impressed by a quality of this toy. It was VERY expensive, but it was way better of all other bricks I played with. The next year I received a small gift from my mom, a set 1731. In the late 1997 I had another gift from two brothers, my friends. And it was a 6155 set. It was used, not full, and few pieces were damaged. But there were no borders for my happiness. In fact that's all. My total Lego collection was rather small, but having no other way to go due to financial problems in a family, I created everything I wanted with what I had. I'm deeply sure that lego is the best toy ever. It enlarges your imagination, develops your creativity, and... well simply makes you happy. Many years have passed, and I still keep my small box with old lego. The pieces are in bad condition, since I used them a lot. Some are cracked, some worn, some are lost, there is no more comfort to play with them, but my heart fills with warmth, when I open the box and recall those days of my childhood. A year ago my wife made me a present. Once she brought home a big carton box, with a lego mark on it. She handled it to me, with a smile upon her face. I tore the carton off in a blink of an eye and found inside.... a brand new 42009 set. "I won't bother you today, said she smiling even more widely" I couldn't say a single word... Now I'm aiming to buy another few sets as soon, as I will have an opportunity to do it. In some way I regret that I missed all the collection of LOTR, Hobbit and Harry Potter. Should have returned to lego much earlier :) I like interesting adventure, fantasy, sci-fi books, historical movies, I play tennis, and am fond of 3d animation. Thanks for paying attention to all this stuff I wrote. :) Quote
