kasmca Posted January 22, 2012 Posted January 22, 2012 (edited) Hi there I used to play with Lego a lot when I was a kid. In Christmas 2010 I bought my own kids their first Lego set and couldn't believe how much Lego has advanced. Specifically I started buying the modulars. Unfortunately I missed out on the market street and cafe corner. I'm now converting my pool table into a Lego city and am really enjoying it. See my other post for my layout. I'm in Canada so prices for sets are quite high. I will be scanning the Canadian thread to see how others are getting their deals. So far I have been able to complete my old sets from my childhood through bricklinks, found a great local store in Mississauga, ON called Lasting Toys, ordered from B&N in the US, and from amazon.fr for some good deals. Looking forward to contributing to the community. Edited January 26, 2012 by kasmca Quote

Rook Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 "Converting pool table"! I cleared the Lego out of my rec room so I could one day buy a pool table! Quote
Legobrandon Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 (edited) Welcome to Eurobricks! I am from Canada too and I know how you feel about the over-priced sets. I missed out on the Cafe Corner, Market Street, and Green Grocer, but I am planning to buy my very first Modular which is the Fire Brigade. I am planning to turn my garage into a LEGO room .If you are looking for deals, I really reccommend you visit Toys N Bricks, it is a wonderful site mostly dedicated to deals on LEGO in Canada, US, Europe and Asia. While you're there, make sure to join the forums because you might find deals you won't see on the front page! Hope this helps. *WARNING* Once you visit TNB, you will have an empty wallet* . -Brandon Edited January 23, 2012 by Legobrandon Quote
