PlaneCrazy Posted October 9, 2011 Posted October 9, 2011 Just wanting to say G'day to everyone. Been visiting this site for a while now and decided I should register. I only recently got back to the Technic Lego after a very, very long leave of absence. Loved it as a child and as a 30 something :-) still find it engaging. When I was a child and I got my hands on the 8060 Auto chassis, I was hooked and have been ever since. It was probably Blackbirds Technopedia web site that got me back in. Now as an adult I can actually afford those sets that I used to drool at in the shops. Thanks Blackbird, great site. Like many I am glad Technic has now started making sets that appeal more for the AFOL rather than producing sets that are not overly complicated and more about the styling. Have attached a pic of my collection (yes one is not Technic, it is Basic Universal set 744), most recent aquisitions 8110, 8070 and 8043. I have a very understanding wife :-) Have requested 8265 as a Chirstmas presi from Dearest. For those that might be interested the shelving system is the IVAR 83x50cm IKEA. Any way catch you later Jamie Quote
Zerobricks Posted October 9, 2011 Posted October 9, 2011 Nice collection! Do you also build MOC's? Quote
PlaneCrazy Posted October 9, 2011 Author Posted October 9, 2011 Nice collection! Do you also build MOC's? Thanks. At present I have not done any MOC's. Maybe some day. I take my hat off to the designers of some of the creations I have seen. Very impressive. Quote
DLuders Posted October 9, 2011 Posted October 9, 2011 Welcome to Eurobricks! Tell your wife that you'll need more shelf space in your home to fit the 8265 and other future sets! Quote
PlaneCrazy Posted October 10, 2011 Author Posted October 10, 2011 Welcome to Eurobricks! Tell your wife that you'll need more shelf space in your home to fit the 8265 and other future sets! I have already suggested that one of the other walls in the office should be utilised for the Lego collection and that we could get away with a smaller desk for the computer My 3.5 year old loves the Lego as well and for her age has a reasonable collection as well (mainly City theme), the love of Lego has absolutly nothing to do with Dad .

le60head Posted October 10, 2011 Posted October 10, 2011 Hello! This is the first time i see a photo of the yellow plane ( the one with the big propeller) I'm amazed to see how big it actually is. Thank you so much for the comparison photo! Quote
