minifig_erik Posted November 18, 2011 Posted November 18, 2011 Hi Folks I'm Erik and Im a 37 year old from Scotland who literally fell out of his 'Dark Age' a few weeks ago. As a child my favourite sets were the Lego Technic Artcic sets that came with the oversized minifigs. I also went to the Lego Show in Brighton in the early 80's and won a lego petrol station in a prize draw. WMy real childhood highlight was a family holiday to Denmark where we spent 2 whole days at legoland. the highlight being the driving school I remember you had to put a country flag made of bricks on your windshield so the staff knew what language to talk to you in. It was awesome. Last year I took my twin nieces to Legoland Windsor and I bought the lego fire truck (7942) and although I enjoyed puting it together it didn't bring me out of the Dark age. Fast forward to today and after receiving the Space Shuttle Expedition as a gift (I saw a real space shuttle at the Air and Space Museum in Washington DC last month) I am again hooked. My favourite theme at the moment is City although those Star Wars sets look mighty tempting. Top of My Christmas list is the VW T1 Camper so I hope my wife gets that for me (I've hinted enough) Anyway enough rambling. I just also wanted to say that I've created a lego story based around "Farmer Wilf" you can follow his adventures here http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=62343 please feel free to post comments/suggestions/critisisms, whatever, as I'd love to hear what you guys think Thanks for reading Quote
