rob-ot5000 Posted September 24, 2015 Posted September 24, 2015 (edited) Hi! So, then: introductions, I suppose! My name is Robbie, I'm from Atlanta, Georgia, and I like LEGO. Obviously. Aside from that, I also enjoy reading, writing, drawing, painting, and plenty of other things. I am a nerd of the comic book-ey, superhero-ey variety, as well as being a film lover of all different genres. (I <3 David Fincher. And Stanley Kubrick. Okay, I shouldn't have started this aside.) Let's see, relevent stuff... I'm in my mid-30s and just left the dark ages about a year and a half ago. I buy Marvel and DC Superheroes stuff, largely dependent on characters, and Star Wars stuff, based on the builds moreso than the Superheroes lines though. I also love the modular line, as well as anything big and amazing, like the Temple of Airjitzu and the Ferris Wheel. I also pick up various Ideas sets and the whichever CMFs strike my fancy. I've recently started checking out the MOC scene. In fact, I just finished building my second MOC! The first was just a giant tree. It was awesome. But I tore it down to make a city park to fit between my modulars, which I am super-happy with. There's a sweet newsstand out front. I'll get around to posting pics at some point, Shirley. Currently, I'm working on a Fortress of Solitude (Superman's HQ, FYI) playset. This was actually the first MOC I started, but there are many, many challenges in what I'm trying to do, which has admittedly changed quite a bit. I think my first BrickLink order for this MOC totaled around $200, most of which I'm no longer using with the current design. "Oh well, what the hell." (I'm a Joseph Heller fan, too.) Okay, well, I'm sure I could write another five paragraphs, but I will refrain. Maybe next time I hope I did this right.... Edited September 24, 2015 by rob-ot5000 Quote
YellowCorvette Posted September 24, 2015 Posted September 24, 2015 (edited) Welcome to Eurobricks, rob-ot500! I'm also a Star Wars fan, but I'm now more interested in Bionicle. Edited September 24, 2015 by ArmstrongYong Quote

rob-ot5000 Posted September 25, 2015 Author Posted September 25, 2015 Hey, thanks guys. I've gotta say, I'm awfully nervous about making posts so far. Reading through the various forums and threads, seeing all the old posts of banned members, witnessing tensions in some current threads, sometimes involving moderation, sometimes not, and then reading over the new members FAQs and such. Seems so serious, sometimes. I don't foresee any issues on my end, but... Makes me nervous. Quote
Milan Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 Dont worry, just follow main site rules and it will be ok! Welcome! Quote

We only really have a few big issues every couple of months, but that should be expected in a large forum with 2.5 million posts, no? Welcome! Quote
x105Black Posted October 2, 2015 Posted October 2, 2015 Welcome to Eurobricks! Sounds like we have a lot of the same interests. I'd love to see your Fortress of Solitude when it is completed. Your city park sounds wonderful. Hope this forum is fun and informative for you! Quote
