arijitdas Posted March 31, 2018 Posted March 31, 2018 Hello Everyone, My name is Arijit and I am from India. I am 33 years old and started my journey into the world of Lego only last year. Yes, I know it is very late to get started with Lego. But as the saying goes better late than never. I have been lurking around this community since more than 6 months now and have been reading the reviews of various Technic Sets. I have also been following the Technic MOC threads as well and they have been inspiring me to build some MOCs of my own. I finally decided to join this community yesterday and am looking forward to learn many new tricks from all the experienced folks in here. I own a few Lego Technic sets - 42008, 42024, 42052, 42054, 42055 (yet to start building), 42060 (my first technic set), 42062, 42064, 42065 (my only RC set), 42066. I think I have got quite a few sets and they should be good enough to jump into MOCing. I do know I still miss some vital parts like differentials and suspensions but do plan to buy few 2018 sets as their prices fall to meet the gap. Beyond Lego Technic, I also like the StarWars series sets and some of the Creator sets but do not own any currently. I am also into photography: https://500px.com/arijitdas Quote

BrickbyBrickTechnic Posted March 31, 2018 Posted March 31, 2018 Welcome to Eurobricks! I assume you order all your LEGO online? Because the in-store prices for LEGO in india are insane (I visit there every few years). Quote

Not sure of the reason behind this. Quote
Littleworlds Posted March 31, 2018 Posted March 31, 2018 Hello Arijit! Welcome to Eurobricks (and to Lego in general). Its a pity to hear that Lego sets are so expensive in India. Since Europe and the USA are pretty saturated, one would assume that they would embrace a potentially huge market like India with affordable products to get people hooked. Anyway. I just had a look on your photos and I am very impressed. They are stunning! Quote
Trekkie99 Posted March 31, 2018 Posted March 31, 2018 Hi @arijitdas, and welcome to Eurobricks! Its never to late to get into Lego. Unless your 100. Also, love your photography. The squirrel is adorable! Quote
