Greetings from Chicagoland!

Hi Everyone,

I've been lurking for a few days and I'm really digging this site.

I am a typical AFOL: I started out being a big KFOL in the 80s, had many Castle and Space sets, then in the 90s I went through the dark ages. When the first Star Wars sets came out in '99 I started to come back, but then dropped back into the dark ages until last Christmas. My wonder fiance (now my wife) got me the Executor and BAM! I'm totally hooked on LEGO again.

I found Brickset, and making lists of what I own and what I want made the addiction worse. LOL. Right now I've pretty much caught up on all the sets in the 2000s that I want and I'm just waiting for the new ones to come out.

I'm mainly a SW fan, but I dig the Creator and some Town sets.

I'm just starting out with a MOC or two, and I must say some of the MOCs I've seen on this site are pretty impressive.

Looking forward to sharing my addiction with people around the world!

LOL, definitely a Sox fan. I like a team that wins games.
