Viceroy Posted October 5, 2011 Posted October 5, 2011 (edited) Hello everyone, I'm a trainee accountant from Jersey who loves to surf, cycle, rockclimb and play computer games (so excited for Skyrim and Diablo 3). I was a huge fan of lego in my childhood but after moving from Australia to Europe, my sets never really made it back out of the box. About a year ago I ended a 12 year dark age after seeing my friends Star Wars collection. Inspired, I dug out my old lego collection (since decimated by my younger brother) and stumbled upon this site and the whole concept of MOCing while looking for an index of Pirate sets. I then picked up a few deals on Ebay (including every Islander set for £30!) and later discovered bricklink. In summary, the slippery slope to addiction. Annoyed at having just missed the latest Pirate wave (which I thought was quite good) and disapointed at the POTC line I have switched back to my true roots, CASTLE! Anyway here are some classic lego memories I'd like to share: My first sets were 6018 Battle Dragon and 1463/2889/1695 Treasure Cart. I can remember building them in a park after visiting the toy store when I was about 5 and losing half the pieces much to the annoyance of my dad. My first medium to large set was the Wolfpack Tower and I loved it to bits (sometimes literally, my battles could be quite dramatic!) The best Christmas I can remember was due to the arrival of the Forestmen’s River Fortress (my favourite faction alongside the new dragon knights). Sadly only one brave but very chewed member remains of my band of merry men. Anyhow, I love this forum and hopefully will be able to contribute some of my own creations soon in the future. À la préchaine (till next time)! Edited October 5, 2011 by Viceroy Quote
