B.C. Posted May 28, 2010 Posted May 28, 2010 Just wanted to say hello, I am BC. I live in Dublin, California. I have been hooked on Legos since I was 4. My older brother got his first Lego set at a flea market, he never really played with the set as much as I did. Over the years I inherited his Legos and many others for birthdays and Christmas. To this day my favorite gift I ever got for any Borthday or Christmas was the Lego Technic 8859 tractor. Over the years I found my Lego collection being passed down along my nieces and nephews. By the time I got them back, many great pieces were lost or broken but the majority were still there. I held onto them, and even now I still find so many pieces that I remember playing with as a kid. Anyway, flash forward 35 years and my 7 yr old daughter has caught the Lego bug as well. I find myself fulfilling my own dreams as a kid to build a large collection and display the completed models. Legos provide hours of enjoyment and quality time for my daughter and I together. Cool site you got here, I find myself in awe of the creativity of the members of this forum. Keep up the good work.

Zorbas Posted May 29, 2010 Posted May 29, 2010 I never get tired of reading LEGO related background stories in an introduction topic and that was a very nice one. Welcome aboard B.C! Enjoy your stay, the journey has just started! B.C. said: I find myself fulfilling my own dreams as a kid to build a large collection and display the completed models. We control the budget now!

B.C. Posted June 1, 2010 Author Posted June 1, 2010 Ha, I was digging through Brickset and found the Lego set my brother had. 710-2 : Steam Shovel with Carrier. http://www.brickset.com/detail/?Set=730-2 Also had this one here: Wrecker with car. http://www.brickset.com/detail/?Set=710-1 Sadly most of these parts are missing or broken. I still have one blue door from the steam shovel and one yellow door from the wrecker. :( Quote
