All_That_Rocks Posted February 18, 2016 Posted February 18, 2016 (edited) Hi Everyone! I just got into Lego late last year after getting a very old and tub of Lego out of my shed. It had been sitting there for about 18 years and contained bricks from my own and my siblings childhood as well as that of my kids (who are ow grown up). Initially I had planned to clean it and possibly sell it but I enjoyed the process of cleaning and sorting and it was very nostalgic. I started to do more investigation into the hobby and stumbled across "A Lego Brickumentary" and I was hooked. It was a little odd "coming out" to my wife and grown kids but I found my wife loves it and everyone has a love of Lego on some level. My timing was great as it was approaching Christmas and Brick 2015 and I was able to amass quite a lot in a short amount of time, from the Tumbler to modular buildings, to Dr Who etc In this short time I've literally spent thousands :) Oh and I've even started my own youtube channel to show my purchases ( hauls ) which is at https://www.youtube....58RfT6P4SRmydIQ for anyone who wants to see what I've been getting. I look forward to some good interaction, though I have to confess, in terms of themes I am all over the place and can not limit myself. So thats it. Look forward to chatting.

Mercury Posted February 18, 2016 Posted February 18, 2016 Welcome to freedom!! I never felt so free as when I was able to look my wife in the eye and say "yes dear, I NEED that set because it has the Iron Man armor variant I don't have...". Quote

Thanks Graham, Actually some of it goes back to 1957 according to the brick link catalogue :0 Welcome to freedom!! I never felt so free as when I was able to look my wife in the eye and say "yes dear, I NEED that set because it has the Iron Man armor variant I don't have...". Haha, I've clearly come a long way in a short time because my wife picked up Ninjago set 70747 today for me out of the blue because it had been reduced to £14.90 from £25 in a local supermarket. How sweet!! Quote

Tezclatipoca Posted February 23, 2016 Posted February 23, 2016 Welcome aboard ! 18 years of dark age ! That's effectively long time. Hopefully you kept your old LEGO ! You should have found great treasures in that old box ! Quote
All_That_Rocks Posted February 24, 2016 Author Posted February 24, 2016 There isn't a huge amount of interesting items unfortunately. There is some original space parts though not sure there are any full sets. But the vast majority has been heavily played with by my kids so is not in the best condition. On the plus side I have amassed quite a few items in a very short time, largely thanks to Xmas and having a birthday early in the year. Quote
