Guss Posted September 5, 2008 hello, I'm Guss, I'm French but actually live in Switzerland , I'm 25 and I just started to play with lego bricks after 10 years without even touching one brick. I love Lego Pirates, Lego City, Lego technic and Mindstorms, but I just started, so I just recovered my girlfriends Lego she owned when she was young ( she's 27 years old) ,and sadly I wasn't able to keep the Legos I had when I was young, my mother sold them , so for now I just own some old sets ( 114 sets, not bad for free ^^ ) but it's already enough to build nice MOCs ^^ nice to meet you everybody ! P.S : sorry if my English is bad, I didn't really learned it at school ^^ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteFang Posted September 5, 2008 Guss, welcome to Eurobricks. Your English is perfectly alright. I understand what you are trying to convey It's nice to see you come out of your dark age. In fact, most of us here used to have a dark age. It seemed we have put it behind us. I am sure you will do the same as well. Since Pirates will be launching next year, you will defintely be excited about it. Do check out the respective forums. I am sure you find this forum an unique experience.

Guss Posted September 5, 2008 thanks for your welcome^^ I read some topic where peoples were discussing about " dark age" I was wondering what they meant, now I understand^^ yep I'm very impatient to buy some new nice ships , I really miss my Black Seas Barracuda ( 6285 ) I owned when I was still a kid.

Geez! Don't tell me Black Sea Barracuda was one of the sets that your mother sold? That was the best Pirate set of all time, and even released as a LEGEND.

Guss Posted September 5, 2008 (edited) White fang : thank you ^^ , yeah my mother sold it too... i didn't want to but i was not living at home anymore, she sold it without telling me... it was my favourite set ...

legotrainfan Posted September 8, 2008 Hi and welcome to our community! You're quite a lucky guy! You get a lot of LEGO support from your girlfriend! Too bad your mother sold your Black Seas Barracuda 6285. My mum is always threating to sell my LEGO stuff or to give it away for free. Of course, she hasn't dared do so! Fortunately!

Admiral Blockbeard Posted September 14, 2008 WOW... Stunning how quickly your posts have gone up! The lack of a banning means that the admins think your only saying worthy comments! congratulations! I tried learning French the other day... I can count to ten! Perhaps I need some practice. From what i hear you live in a beautiful part of the world! Regards Cpt.

Guss Posted September 14, 2008 Hello and thanks Cpt Pegleg blockbeard, I don't really think I deserve to be banned, but If I post to many messages, I'll try to reduce my post-rate ^^ otherwise count to ten is a good start ! and I agree that I live in a nice city ( Genève ) , I live here since may of this year, so it's recent, Before this I was living near Marseilles, in south of France, a beautiful city too. You too live in a really beautiful country too, at the other side of the world ! I wish to go to a trip to Australia, but that's quite far and expensive !^^ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
