Vr5fx Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 Good day! I'm Steve. A few days ago I was walking around a shopping centre (UK) and went into the Lego store to buy a new keyring for the lady, as her Indiana 'lego' Jones lost a leg and an arm. Disappointed by all of these we decided to walk around the store, where I came across a beast of a Lego model, the 9398. I spent a good 30 minutes debating if I should be buying it, just after spending a fortune on our 5th anniversary of us being together (yay). We left the store only to return a few hours later and I purchased it, along with a MineCraft lego set (for the miss) and 3 build your own lego men which will be made into DIY keyrings. So when we got back home I went 12 year old Rambo on the Technic set. Building it inbetween work and life was hard work, but 24 hours later and it was finished. I love it. Since it being finished I figured that most of the gears could be changed out, so I climbed into the loft and pulled my lego box down. to my dismay, I no longer had the gears that I thought I had, so I ordered them online. I've even looked at getting different tires, as the ones included seem a little pants. However, they are quite expensive over on this side of the pond. I have many hobbies. I build and fix PC's/laptops but that may now be replaced by Lego. I know I'm along the newbies, but I hope to come one of your friends in the near future. PS. Do people still like Bionicle? I seem to have plenty of sets/half sets that I no longer want. Kind regards -Steve Quote
spzero Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 welcome to Eurobricks, people do still like Bionicles but less so than before, there's a limited market, Where in the UK are you I'm in Yorkshire Quote
Vr5fx Posted April 24, 2013 Author Posted April 24, 2013 Thanks for the welcome! It looks like I may need to butter up the right people regarding the Bionicles. I live in Kent, used to live in West Midlands. :) I managed to sort through all the Technic and Bionicle into part types. Took 3 hours. I'll cry when it gets round to re-building the models. Quote
Spider-Man Posted April 25, 2013 Posted April 25, 2013 Very nice introduction! I'm sure you will find yourself right at home here Do you have an interest in any other themes beside Technic at the moment? I know getting into multiple themes at a time can end up being a very slippery (and expensive ) slope but it is always nice to hear others interests! Quote

Considering I didn't even think about Lego before Sunday. I just purchased the 42006 as well as £100 worth of motors, ect. This alone is a slippery slope. Batteries are going to be a fortune! The Lego Systems 'box' used to be a wide range of models, but I think over time parts have gone missing so there wont be a single model worth trying to rebuild. I'd just crush it with the 4x4 anyway. :) -Steve Quote
