Justin1 Posted September 21, 2011 Posted September 21, 2011 Hi I,m Justin from sussex in the UK, been collecting sw lego for a few years now after collecting vintage star wars and looking for a cheaper alternative. Which it was,nt but a lot more fun to be had with lego. I,m almost 40 so probably class an an AFOL like most on here. I,ve been concentrating on the small sets misb right from the start and am doing quite well so far. I also prefer the older sets, just like the way they were originally packaged and sometimes simpler sets are more realistic to me. A few weeks ago i bought yellow castle 375 which i,m really pleased with, so i do sometimes detour a little bit. Will be looking through the chats on here to see what happens and i,m on some star wars forums and one thing bugs me is people joining just to sell their stuff, i,m not one of those people, just a collector looking for likeminded people, regards Justin Quote

I may not understand but do you collect sets and never open the box? (see told you I was a noob). Quote
Justin1 Posted September 21, 2011 Author Posted September 21, 2011 (edited) Hello Justin another Euro Bricks noob here. I may not understand but do you collect sets and never open the box? (see told you I was a noob). Hi yes i do like the small sets misb, i like the packaging and if its mint i like to save them like that. But i do have far more open ones than i could ever display so it,s just nice to have them stored away in case i change my mind and open them. Edited September 21, 2011 by Justin1 Quote

I have unopened sets but thats because I ration them and because I hope to move into a new house sometime soon (been a long time coming) and I dont want to move the assembled Lego. Knowing that I would never open the box would probably kill me though :) Quote
