Hi, my name is Roni.

I started with LEGO back in the early 70s.

First bricks I remember having is Duplo with string-attached bricks - something like this (but not quite, I do remember the string): http://brickset.com/...ol-Building-Set

First LEGO set I remember getting at 4 (on vacation in Las Palmas - first airpliane flight; that is why I still remember this vividly!) was 614 Digger: http://brickset.com/sets/614-2/Digger

But LEGO really got under my skin when I got the 853 at the age of 6 (I remember holding the box in my lap during the whole 10 hour train ride from Germany).

I also had (and still have, complete with all boxes): early pre-technic gear sets 810, 811, Technic 855, 918, iconic 928 and 7740.

And a bunch of other sets - 367, 368, 386,387, 6970, 315, 105, 107, 212, 349, 662,...

I guess I need to thank my mom, dad and aunt for buying me all that LEGO - mostly in Italy, Germany, Austria, some even in UK. My country was part of Yugoslavia and (except for a period between ca. 1974-1980) no LEGO was sold here...

I probably had more LEGO back then than any of my schoolmates. My kids now have ~10 times more sets, but times have changed a lot in 30+ years...

I remember drooling over 8860 back in 1980, but I newer got it (my friend bought it a few years ago and I borrowed it and built it with my son).

The last set I got as a kid was the pneumatic 8040: http://brickset.com/...1/Universal-Set

I bought some LEGO again in 2006 - 8421 and used 8880, 8448, 8466 (won the last one on eBay for 1 EUR!). I was intrigued by the progress in bricks in my 20 years hiatus.

I got hooked again with PF (9398, 42030, 42009,...). And I simply HAD to buy Benny's LL929 Spaceship! to go with my 928 & 918.

I’m an electronics engineer by profession and currently part of a team developing an exciting LEGO related product. Stay tuned for more ;-)

Best regards and "Leg godt"

Roni
