eversio11 Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 Hi there, I recently (within the last year) got back into Lego in a big way. I grew up with Lego between 92-98, a fantastic time for the little bricks. I would call it the golden age of Lego, but I suppose if someone grew up in the 80s with Lego they would be apt to call that the golden age About 6 months ago I finally got my old rubbermaid tub of Lego sorted and into much more organized tackle boxes. I would love to get them further sorted by color, but as I live in an apartment I just don't have the room for that kind of organization and storage. Some day. A few weeks ago I started rebuilding the few old sets I still had, making sure they were 100%, then getting them into storage bags instead of just throwing them in the boxes. I got rid of a lot of my old sets, which looking back is a damn shame, but I kept some of the gems. I still have the Sail n Fly Marina (6543), Shuttle Launch Pad (6339) and Metro Station (4554). Looking back, I'm kicking myself for getting rid of some true classics, like Fort Legoredo (6762) and Royal Knight Castle (6090). So that's my background story, I found this site while searching for reviews of the Eiffel Tower, as I just bought it on sale from Lego Shop online. Not sure how long it will be on sale, but it's $150 in the US right now, with free shipping. I couldn't pass it up, it will be the biggest set I've ever had, by more than triple the piece count. I look forward in joining in some wonderful discussions, as I rebuild both my passion and collection of Lego. Quote
Big Cam Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 Welcome to the boards, there are many horror stories of people getting rid of prized sets back when they didn't know any better. Quote

eversio11 Posted November 5, 2009 Author Posted November 5, 2009 Welcome fellow Illinoisan! You said you bought the Eiffel Tower set, Its a great set, fun build and big, you will not be disappointed. That's great to hear! I've heard from a few reviews that the build can get rather repetitive and boring. I figured at the very least it was a cheap source of 3000 similarly colored pieces for a MOC.
