Hi from Michigan

[Lego Otaku]

Hi, I'm Eric, from Michigan. I live in the Thumbs area and last I checked, there aren't any local LUG within 2 hours drive. (I detest driving into Detroit area anyway and that is 3 hours drive)

I just got back into Lego after about 10 years absence caused by unemployment and then forgot about Lego. It's actually my third Lego age. The second Lego age was from 1999 to 2001 when I had money and picked up some Lego. Before that, I used to play Lego quite a lot until I started in High School which kept me busy in 1990 and I quit Lego.

I still have everything from those 30 years of Lego (save a missing 1x2 brick here and a minifig head there, to name a few pieces)

I'm putting together my train sets and I'm also planning an original theme from 1700's in North American. Mainly the forts and some local dwellings and some indians. Not the same as the western theme set that came out some years ago, this would be before USA declared independence.

welcome to Eurobricks Eric! I hope you enjoy the site and good luck with your planned 1700's North American theme. Hope to see that creation here in EB in the near future.

Welcome Lego Otaku

I would assume that you are in the lower peninsula with your mention of Detroit. I live right by Lake Michigan in Wisconsin. Have you ever made your way to South Haven Michigan? They have a remake of The Friend's Good Will which was originally a Great Lakes commerce vessel in the early 1800's. It's a little after the country was made though.

Hope you enjoy your membership in EB.
