leeislee Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 (edited) Hi all, New to this site, i just had to register after finally finding my love for lego again after about 22 years due to getting a lego book from my missus for christmas. I'm 34 and sadly, i have NO lego. I used to have about 100.000 bricks when i was a kid and one day when i came home from school i found that my Mum had thrown away every single bit of lego i had! I've never got over it and i never will. haha Some talented lego-ist on this site. Edited February 12, 2012 by leeislee Quote
stacker9000 Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 Welcome leeislee, Don't be too sad, most of us here have similar experiences coming back into LEGO, you'll find great help here with any questions..and we look forward to seeing any creations you build. I suggest checking out Bricklink and Peer-on, and learning how to navigate their sites, as I have found them very useful for parts and instruction scans. Best wishes Quote
leeislee Posted February 12, 2012 Author Posted February 12, 2012 Thanks for the welcome stacker9000. As soon as i start buying bricks i'll see if the old magic flows back! Quote
Dwellington Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 You'll be back in the swing of things in no time. Welcome aboard! Quote
Dreamweb Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 Welcome! It's sad news about your LEGO, but no worries, rebuilding your collection may be fun too! Quote
roamingstop Posted February 15, 2012 Posted February 15, 2012 Lego Digital Designer may be the first way forwards; see what you want to build... then get a second credit card so the missus does not see how much you spend. Quote
Cwertle Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 Thats too bad about your Lego.. Though Im sure you will have another collection in no time. Im warning you though, once you get back into Lego, theres no return. (No reason not too though.) Quote
GeluNumber1 Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 Ah, well; you keep some, you lose some. Welcome to Eurobricks! Quote
Arigomi Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 Congratulations on your renewed interest! A lot has changed in 22 years so there is a lot of exciting things to learn and discover. I would recommend to take your time with rebuilding your collection. It is very tempting to go out and buy everything that catches your eye but the company has grown so much that you can become overwhelmed by all of the choices. Explore all of the forums and you might be surprised by what themes you like. If you don't rush, you will have a lot more fun with building your collection. Quote
