grepin Posted December 9, 2009 Posted December 9, 2009 (edited) Hey there, I was looking into another topic and decided to reply to it, but then thought that this forum probably has some section so new members can introduce themselves, so this is where this topic comes from. I'm 25 years old and recently became an Electrical/Computing Engineer, so you could say that LEGO may have influenced my life a bit LEGO was introduced to me back when I was 5 or 6, and it grew into me quickly. My preference later tended clearly towards Technic (my first Technic set was the quite basic 8223). Then, as with most of you, I endured a dark age that began around 1999 and lasted until 2006. So, three years ago I regained interest in LEGO and began buying a few sets on eBay (and more recently also on BrickLink), beginning with the 8850. I consider myself more of a collector than a builder/MOC'er, and have only bought Technic so far, but exceptions will eventually be made. Among by acquisitions since the end of my dark ages are the venerable 8851, 8855, 8865, 8854, 8862, 8094, 8856, 8839, 8868, 8858, 8880 and 8431 (re-release of the 8460), to mention just a few - yes, I'm biased towards studded Technic Along with that renewed interest came the need for information on sets and so on, and the AFOL community has been invaluably helpful (a very special thanks to Blakbird and his Technicopedia - if you read this, you may notice how the collection has grown recently) For those interested, this is my humble collection, which hopefully will grow larger in the years to come: http://www.brickset.com/search/?ownedBy=grepin Thanks for reading!

grepin Posted December 10, 2009 Author Posted December 10, 2009 Thank you for the warm welcome Looks like you have got yourself some pretty nice sets already. But as all AFOL's know, there is never enough! That's so true! And it didn't take a long time to figure that one out - the more sets I see the more sets I want Quote
