Jemppu Posted October 13, 2006 Posted October 13, 2006 Well, I've been around here a while now, but never did this introducing thing, so here goes... Being 21 years old, in Lego ages I count myself as a child of the Pirates and Western generation (though I also enjoyed the 'ageless classics' of Castle and Town). I spend my early childhood building colorful stacks of Dublo 'houses' and stepped straight to Pirates, somewhere at the age of 4 or 5, after finding a lonely ragged pirate figure on the ground near our home (I still have him: here he is pretty much the way he was, when I found him). He was then on the wisest and most trusted man of any of my forecoming pirate crews. I was more or less unaware of the happenings of Lego for few years in the late 90's to early 00's (which apparently didn't cause me to miss much anyway) and was suddenly pulled out from my couple years of more or less shallow dark ages by a Legends Black Seas Barracuda sitting on a shelf of a local toy store. Inspired by that, I got my hands on various other unfulfilled 'xmas Lego wish list items' from my childhood, then fed on few Harry Potter sets, as their color scheme felt the most appealing, and with what ever looked nice enough. Until Lego released Batman... about a year after I had got hooked on the intriguing family of Robins of Gotham. And lastly a slight word of a warning goes out for those who care of such things: I don't mind bley or reddish brown. And I actually enjoy fleshies ;D *gasp* Outside Lego hobby, I spend time with comics (as may probably be guessed from above too), drawing and generally killing time online. I work as an advertisement designer on a local newspaper. Quote

Another brother!!! After finding a lonely ragged pirate figure on the ground near our home (I still have him: here he is pretty much the way he was, when I found him). He was then on the wisest and most trusted man of any of my forecoming pirate crews. How much did you expand upon your Pirate collection, after finding this fellow? I was more or less unaware of the happenings of Lego for few years in the late 90's to early 00's (which apparently didn't cause me to miss much anyway) and was suddenly pulled out from my couple years of more or less shallow dark ages by a Legends Black Seas Barracuda sitting on a shelf of a local toy store. Did you buy that Black Seas Barracuda? Quote
Jemppu Posted October 13, 2006 Author Posted October 13, 2006 Welcome to EB, I'm sure you'll enjoy the community here Thank you :) I'm sure I will. Have so far! this is refeshing to hear... as a lot of AFOL here on EB were brought back to the hobby by StarWars LEGO :D Ahhah. Well, it'll probably please you to hear, that as of this point I only have one SW set... which that was too bought mainly for the parts (6211 Imperial Star Destroyer). Though, I'd love a Falcon :) hey nice job you have, and nice hobbies... comics are another one of my possions too !!! this explains your refence to "Luky Luke" that you provided in the Western Round Up thread !!! Well, it's an okay job. Not at all as 'grand' as it sounds, but it does have it's moments XD Lucky Luke though, I'm sure, most European kids grew up reading those books (along with Asterix and Tintin etc.), were they any more interested in comics or not. They're the kind of books, that were/are loaned from a library with one's first library card and read over and over again X) Yeah, I remember reading, that you draw/drew comics, but was left guessing what those might have looked like as the links you've once posted were down ;D Another brother!!! Well, a fellow mate at least ;D How much did you expand upon your Pirate collection, after finding this fellow? Not too much actually. I got Renegade Runner for one xmas and with my pocket money I managed to buy some of the smaller sets. That's pretty much it before after the dark ages... buuut it was enough for a kid with vivid imagination. Though, I guess I never got over not getting the Skull Eye's Schooner I had wished for that xmas, when I got the Runner instead. Finally bought it last year on an auction. Damn Santa XD Did you buy that Black Seas Barracuda? Yup. Fell in love and got another one too :D Quote

Jemppu Posted October 14, 2006 Author Posted October 14, 2006 Do you ever think you'll get a Skull Eye's Schooner? Finally bought it last year on an auction. Um... maybe I phrased it badly, but this was ment to say I've got it, the Schooner :D Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted October 14, 2006 Governor Posted October 14, 2006 Ahhh... I thought you were referring to the Renegade Runner, but you got that for Xmas so who wasn't paying attenton? That must have been me! If you like you can list all your Pirate sets in the Which Pirate Lego sets do you have? and then we'll be able to see exactly they are. Arrrr Haaaa haaa!!! *pirate* Quote
