kabel Posted July 19, 2009 Posted July 19, 2009 Hi there, as i was born on the other side of the iron fence that went through germany, i grew up as kid building with PeBe bricks, which was an east german system compatible to lego. i had tons of it and there wasn't anything else i needed as a kid. one thing really bugged me though, PeBe didn't have any mini figs, as my neighbor's lego sets hat. so i desperately harassed my west german relatives to send me lego instead of match box cars. after years of begging i finally recieved two sets very late in the 80s shortly before the wall came down. after that i was able to buy lego myself and got really hooked. unfortunately, at 15/16 playing in a punk rock band was more exciting and my bricks became dusty, until my brother stole them from me for his own son to play with - then i didn't care however, now being a father myself, i finally had a really good excuse to start buying lego sets again, and so i spent some 200 euros or so since last september and i can't stop it again ... (i just hope my wife doesn't find out how much i spent) ... Quote
Tom Bricks Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 Welcome, thats an interesting story you have there. Do you have any favorite themes or sets? Good luck with the wife. Quote
kabel Posted July 20, 2009 Author Posted July 20, 2009 oh yeah, my favourite topic is town/city and i guess castle too, since i really dig constructing half-timbered houses (wich i guess most german afols do), pirates are hot too, and i could really hit myself that i felt too ashemed to buy them, when they sold the last of the good old pirate sets for really cheap late in the 90s ...
