Rhodes81 Posted June 16, 2011 Posted June 16, 2011 Hello all. my power was out tonight so I was keeping busy with my laptop and imagine my surprise when I stumbled upon this lovely site. After a little browsing I quickly realized this was the place for me to share my love of Lego. I guess a quick introduction of myself. I live in Atlanta Ga, U.S. and just recently graduated from high school. My major hobbies are Lego (obviously) along with the typical stuff like video games and all that. I play bass (both upright and electric) and read a ton more than most people my age. I'm also a hardcore hockey fan. as far as Lego goes, I started as young as I can remember and at one time had probably about $10,000 worth of Lego. however about 4 years ago I gave most all of it away shortly after entering my dark ages. I just came out of my personal dark ages a few months ago so I don't have a ton. What I do have is a fair sized collection of Star Wars Lego along with a continually changing and expanding castle moc. Unfortunately I don't have nearly as many parts as I used to (to the point that what extras I do have can be kept in a box smaller than a shoebox). I've been mostly using bricklink or the three or four parts sets I've bought to make any mocs or modifications but pretty soon I'll probably just break down and buy a mass lot of parts from ebay. Anyway I look forward to hopefully contributing to the talk around here a bit and possibly sharing some of my collection. Quote

Rhodes81 Posted June 16, 2011 Author Posted June 16, 2011 Obligatory OMG, thats alot of LEGO to have given away. Welcome back to the fun side! Yeah Lego was pretty much all I played with so I had a ton. it all went to charity though so I'm sure some other kids are cherishing them as much as I did. as for my castle, it still needs a lot of work before it's on par with anything on here. i've got a bad case of giant grey walls right now but I have a change planned to help it a bit. hopefully it'll turn out well and I'll be able to hare some pics.

Have you discovered www.bricklink.com? It's an AFOL's best friend, especially for MOCing. Quote

It's an AFOL's best friend, especially for MOCing. yeah I actually have an order coming in hopefully tomorrow that will allow the castle to really start taking a bit of shape. it's supposed to be just one minor gate of a much larger city wall. I've got one tower built and I'm contemplating another possibly built into a wall of rock. Quote
