Parrot Posted December 27, 2025 Posted December 27, 2025 Hi, my real name is Jakub, but you can call me Parrot. I'm from Poland and I'm 44 years old. I learned about the AFOL community a few years ago, but I didn't buy any sets back then. My LEGO from childhood (early 1990s) were lost a long time ago, given to other children when I grew up. As a result, my "dark ages" lasted for over a quarter of a century. Even back then I didn't have a huge collection - just a dozen or so sets - but I really liked them, and for a child in Poland, shortly after the communist regime fell, it was quite a lot. This Christmas, somewhat to my surprise, I received a small LEGO set from my mom - the Jungle Explorer ATV (#60424). I built it, then took it apart and created my first MOCs. I hope that as I gain more experience and more bricks, my creations will start to look better. I've already ordered a few new sets :D For now, I'm posting photos of what I created from this "ATV" set (I'm sharing the photos here as part of my introduction). One thing I noticed after such a long break is that the bricks now seem much smaller. Strange. Maybe it's just my eyesight not being what it used to be. Quote
Hemar Seldim Posted December 27, 2025 Posted December 27, 2025 (edited) Welcome back Parrot! About pieces getting smaller, I think that there's more small parts today than there was in the past. Hope you will enjoy your life with Lego! Edited December 27, 2025 by InspectorShinyGrape Typo Quote
