deviantsaint Posted August 8, 2013 Posted August 8, 2013 Just stopping in to say hi. So Hi!!!!!! I'm 45 and live outside of Seattle, Wa in a cement wasteland called Federal Way. I'm just starting to come out of my Dark Ages after spending a lot of my childhood playing with these little bricks. My grandma would always make sure we got a set for Xmas since they taught us stuff. What I don't know because I was too busy having fun building racecars to run up and down the hall with my brother. I can still hear my dad's voice at 4am when he stepped on a brick we missed. Anyway, after collecting the CMFs for a while I found the Monster Fighter's on clearance and couldn't say no to the Hearse. I hated the cartoonyness of it but figured since it was Lego, I could fix it. Which I did. Now I'm hooked. I'm really grooving on Lego because it takes my love of building models and mixes it up with my love of collecting (Hot Wheels collector for 20 years). The really cool thing is that if I don't like the model when I'm done with it, I can always tear it apart and start over. Can't do that with a $50 plastic tank model. I'll be at Brickcon so look for the long haired guy who may or may not be wearing a cowboy hat. Quote
Mutant Orc Posted August 8, 2013 Posted August 8, 2013 I bought that set too- it's ridiculous in places; even the box art shows a man with a rapier and dynamite driving full pelt, no hands of a cliff edge!!! Talk about weird.... You're quite new to Eurobricks, and considering I'm the first here I have the pleasure of saying- Welcome to Eurobricks! Quote
LucasLaughing Posted August 11, 2013 Posted August 11, 2013 Hi deviantsaint, I actually just moved from Federal Way to Seattle a few months ago. Are you a member of Sealug? Quote
