Jed Posted May 14, 2011 Posted May 14, 2011 (edited) Hi all, been reading the forum for about 6 weeks now, posted a couple of times. I live in Stockport, UK, which is just south of Manchester. I'm a Game Designer by trade, working at Sony Evolution Studios near Liverpool - we made the MotorStorm games on PS3. Used to collect Classic Space back in my childhood, now sadly all lost (I still live in hope my parents will stumble across them in the attic one day!) then the undersea line in the early 90s (I think it was). Bought most of the 1st and 2nd wave Star Wars lines when they came out, then kept up with any small to midsize Star Wars sets I liked since then. Along the years my wife has always filled a wooden advent calendar with a couple of Mini sets broken into daily handfuls of bricks as a little Xmas tradition. Picked up loads of the Indy sets when they came out. So Lego has always been a little indulgence of mine but not something I've invested in seriously before now. About 6 months ago decided to take advantage of a friend's offer for 30% discount from the Lego Shop and ordered the CITY advent calendar, which me and my toddler son delighted in every day during the Xmas run-up. That tipped me over the edge - since then I've bought a bunch of bigger sets including the Death Star, and got myself a display cabinet to start showcasing models and MOCs, and have now decided to budget a sizeable amount every month to collecting the Modular building line. Pretty much bitten, then. Edited May 14, 2011 by Jed Quote

Pandora Posted May 15, 2011 Posted May 15, 2011 Hi Jed, I still hope my folks will discover an untapped mine of LEGO in the loft too, but I think I've got all of my childhood LEGO, now. Great idea with the wooden advent calendar, but a daily mini-build from the official LEGO calendar is great fun too and a big hit in my house. Themes other than City can also yield interesting parts and minifigs. Enjoy your time here, and don't forget to post some of the MOCs you have on display Quote
