Hi from Ben

[OzBen]

Hello all,

My name's Ben

I recently started lurking on EB and thought i would finally sign up and say hi.

I have been back into lego for the last 8 months after a 25 year dark age.

I fell back in by chance, I was holidaying in Hawaii and went into a lego store in a shopping mall, we dont have Lego stores on Oz, and i saw the VW campervan and bought it on the spot!! Then i went back the next day and bought 8070 Technic supercar.

When i got back from Hawaii i built the 2 models and was amazed at how far Lego has progeressed in the last few decades so i started searching the net to see what was happening in the world of Lego, then i discovered Bricklink, oh dear..........

50+ sets later and a large collection of parts, a few MOC's on the go and i just spent the weekend at the Sydney Brick Show. So i can confidently say i am completely addicted.

90% of my collection is Technic as i enjoy the functionality.

I work in retail (no toys) so i dont get as much building time as i would like and i have a very suppotive wife who is happy for me to collect and build, she even came to the brick show with me and enjoyed it too!!

Hope my introduction wasn't too long and i hope i can add to the EB community in a positive way.

Cheers

Ben

Hi Ben

From another Aussie, it's great to have you here. I'm sure you've noticed there's plenty of us around the place. If you haven't seen it before, check out the Aussie sales thread or if you want to import some Lego at good prices, there's a specific topic for that too, Buying from other countries. I know there have previously been some great deals on large technic sets at the various amazon sites.
