vittorio Posted June 25, 2012 (edited) Long-time listener, first-time caller! Been lurking for years. Planning to join a contest, so I might as well make my presence known. Name: Vitto Age: Twenty-something Location: Manila, Philippines Focus themes: modular buildings, city, trains MOC site: Flickr but I can't post a link yet or edit my signature Other interests: carbohydrates, hibernation Body parts injured by LEGO bricks: arms, lower leg, fingernails, gums, soles Most embarrassing LEGO moment ever: Using the old brick remover as a minifig speedboat and discovering its real purpose only after my dark age Saddest LEGO moment ever: Closing my eyes and imagining that I was playing with sets that my parents thought were too expensive Most ridiculous LEGO daydream: TLG offering me a job at age 8 to work as their in-house product tester Not-so-ridiculous LEGO daydream: approaching Jamie Berard at an event, clutching the box and instructions for Cafe Corner for him to sign. "I.Am.Such.A.Huge.Fan!" Age started playing with LEGO: 7 First set bought: 535 Basic Building Set 5+, involving a dramatic stand-off at the toy store with my parents on Christmas eve Start of dark age: 1997 Catalogs accumulated while visiting LEGO retailers during dark age: 7 End of dark age: 2008 Set that ended my dark age and opened the floodgates of cash: Fast Flyers Set I regret selling: Fast Flyers Set I regret not buying: Town Plan Last set bought: Stephanie's Outdoor Bakery + some Series 7 figs Set I will buy next: Town Hall Bah, who am I kidding --- sets I will buy next: Town Hall, Sopwith Camel, Winter Village Post Office, maaaayyybbbeee Winter Village Bakery as well and oooh that new big R2-D2 looks cute too. Oy vey! Edited June 25, 2012 by vittorio Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
purpleparadox Posted June 25, 2012 Welcome to Eurobricks! That's an awesome introduction, it made me chuckle. How'd you injure your gums? Were you...no...eating your Lego?! What contest are you planning to enter? I'm guessing it's the modular one... Enjoy the site, -purpleparadox Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vittorio Posted June 25, 2012 How'd you injure your gums? Were you...no...eating your Lego?! What contest are you planning to enter? I'm guessing it's the modular one... I was trying to detach two plates stacked together. This was before I knew how to use the brick separator (ergo most of my pre-dark age bricks have bite marks). I was trying to wedge my teeth on two opposite corners, then they suddenly came apart and scraped my gums. Ow. Yup, its the modular contest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
