Janel Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 Ok, I've posted a few posts already but haven't introduced myself yet so figured I might as well.... I JUST discovered how cool legos are. I mean, I have 4 kids 2 of which are boys and one of them has loved legos from the time he was able to build... and I have a husband who has always loved legos. BUT I never played with legos as a kid or really cared much about them till about a month ago. I mean, thought they looked cool but that was about it.... UNTIL I discovered the collectible minifigures.... OMG... I don't even remember how I came across them but I was like OMG... I NEED THESE! I've gotten both series 3 and 4 complete and a handful of both series one and two. Then doing searches for more minifigs I discovered the Modular buildings! Again... I was like OMG! I NEED THESE! So began the hunt. I found the lego store in Michigan about an hour and a half away and me and hubby made a trip and dropped like $800.00 our first trip. Got the Emporium, the Fire Brigade, a creator house, a bunch of city police stuff and tons of minifigs. Oh... don't even get me going on the PAB wall... that thing was great. Oh, the potential! Built the modulars up fast that night and then a few days later went back and got the Pet Shop the day it came out and more minifigs and more PAB stuff and some of the Alien Conquest stuff.... boy oh boy.... heaven! So within that month we've been to the lego store 4 times and have collected about 200 minifigs from the collections 1-4. Currently I'm collecting the bricks to make the corner cafe and green grocer... and drooling over all the MOC's on here. We have plans to create our own lego city and have our own space planned out for it all. Needless to say my hubby is more than tickled that finally I don't blink on a 150.00 lego set. Before he would be like, I want to buy this AT-AT... or Millenium Falcon... and I would be like um, that's a lot of money for a toy....(tho we would buy lots for the youngest son at the holiday and birthday times)....and now I'm like, okay, you can get something cool as long as I can too! I'm actually on my way up to the store where late last night I found a box of series 3 on the shelf so that I can pick up the rest of them that I didn't have the cash on me for yesterday. I see a LONG and FUN future ahead with TONS of LEGOS in my future! Now I just need to get enough bricks amassed so I can start doing some of my own MOC's and add to our city plans. :) Boy.... that was long.... I really think I have a problem. Maybe it's all the years of being lego deprived catching up and now I'm trying to make up for it FAST....lol... Quote
