_JDB Posted January 9, 2012 Posted January 9, 2012 Sup Eurobricks, I go by _JDB on BrickLink (I'm a seller there). If you've been in BL Chat, you've probably seen me at one time or another, as I seem to gravitate towards there a lot. Dark talks about here and Silent linked to one of his reviews here, so I thought I'd come by and see what this place is all about. Here's my story: I've been into Lego since I was a child, going through a dark age or two. I completely forget what my first set was, but after looking around BrickLink's catalog, I can at least say that I had the "6175 Crystal Explorer Sub" when I was a kid, as I recognize most of the pieces. I think I also had some Town Jr. and some Ninja sets. The highlight of my Lego youth was the Bionicle series. First set was a Turaga Nokama (8543), then I started to collect the Turaga. Then I got a Pohatu (8531), so I wanted the collect the Toa. Then I got some Rahi. Anyway, I think I had most of those sets from the "first wave", as I like to call it, except for the Tohunga from McDonalds. I stopped collecting after the Rahkshi came out, as I was "outgrowing" them. Got back into Lego with my junior high's Robotics Club (Mindstorms). My parents got me my own set because they wouldn't let me touch the one they were using for competition, but I gave up on it once the RCX wouldn't stick to a plate. Went into a dark age through high school. So freshman year of college, wanting to make some extra money, I decided to sell most of my Bionicle sets on BrickLink (found it through a Google search). I decided to keep my Toa, Turaga, Manas, Tarakava, Takanuva, and Makuta. Didn't expect to get back into Lego before I had kids, but here I am. Picked up some Stars sets, so I had to get the originals (still looking for a sealed Turahk - 8592). I've been wanting to get into MOCs but I don't think I have the imagination for that anymore Recently, I have been hoarding polybag sets. Collecting them like Pokemon (one each), sometimes two (one to keep "untouched" -- sealed, the other to "train" -- build). Anyway, just like how I use reddit, I'll probably be lurking here not signed into my account. But then again, I might have something to add to the conversation, so maybe I'll actually be logged into my EB account. "Play well" as they say, --JDB Quote
