Technix Posted April 27, 2014 Posted April 27, 2014 Hi ! My name is Kim,29 y/o, and i'm from the Philippines. My first set was the Lego 8042, which was eons ago. That was followed by various small sets (browsing the various lego databases on the net brings back memories ). I also remember having that technic figure, which I can't remember where i got it from. I'm pretty sure 8042 didn't came with one, so it must be on another set. I also had the old Technic motor and battery box, which I also can't remember where i got it from . I stopped when technic shifted to those robots/disc throwers kind, which I didn't find interesting at all. :( The command center sets during those times were cool tho, but those were super expensive and we can't afford it :( Time has passed and i'm now an Engineer, and I've always been a technic kind-of-guy. A few years ago the 8421 set caught my eye, but i was already late to the party and it was (and still) expensive on ebay or amazon. So that's definitely a no. Then just a few weeks ago, my parents had the chance to go to the US and I was like "this is my chance to get something worthwhile..". So I looked up on the net and see the current sets from Lego. And you might have probably guessed it already. i saw the Lego 42009! I was grinning with joy as this was the perfect replacement for the 8421! .. And little did I know that it was designed by the same person. :) So yeah, i'm now waiting for them to get back here and start the monster crane. :) Sorry for the very long intro. I'm looking forward into being part of this community and learn new things from here :) Quote

Technix Posted April 29, 2014 Author Posted April 29, 2014 where do you guys get your lego sets? i've tried searching through sulit but the ones in there are way too overpriced. i'm particularly interested in: -Technic -Train Sets -Mindstorm (maybe ) Quote

emilstorm Posted May 9, 2014 Posted May 9, 2014 Loved that 8042 too, except for the hopeless design on the forklift. Everytime you tried to lift something the fork came apart .... Anyways welcome:) Quote
