Hey Joe Posted August 25, 2012 Posted August 25, 2012 (edited) Hi, I've never introduced myself on a website before (maybe I don't get around so much?) but we're requested to do so and I noticed others doing it so here goes. My name's Joe and I'm from the States originally but I've been living in Beijing, China for awhile. We'll be moving back Stateside pretty soon though. I recently got interested in Lego because I was shopping for some Duplo for our son. The models they're coming out with these days are really top-notch IMO. THE model that brought me out of a long dark age was Angler Attack from Atlantis. What a quirky and imaginative model and minifigs! The themes that interest me, in no particular order, are; - Modular buildings - Winter village - Trains - CMFs - City - minifig-scale Creator sets (houses) - Atlantis Perhaps I could take this opportunity to state that none of the licensed sets attract me very much. For example, I'm a little bummed that LotR has displaced Kingdoms. I'd like to have a nice castle but I don't want Helms Deep. Don't get me wrong, I love the movies but I don't need them in Lego. My primary interests in the past were HO trains and comic books. I guess my wallet was pretty occupied with those so I never paid too much attention to Legos out of economic necessity. It really seems like a perfect hobby to have now that we've got a child. Hopefully it's something that we can enjoy as a family for a good, long time. I think the wife likes them too!

dr_spock Posted August 25, 2012 Posted August 25, 2012 Welcome to EB, Joe. I was big on HO in my youth and got the big Lego bug after kids arrived. Kids are a good excuse to get more Lego. When kids enter their Dark Ages, you know where all that Lego is going to. Quote
