I have allready been looking around here for quite a long time now, and the main reason for getting registrated was to gain acces to the file that explains to unlock Universe mode in LDD.
As I have a 6 years old young son now who seems to find Lego as much fun as I did at his age I was triggered to look around on the internet to find missing instructionbooks and found out that there is a whole adult community build around Lego, and lot of extra possibilities like ebay, pick a brick, bricklink, etc to find replacement parts and new and used Lego.
I am certainly an adult fan, but I am not buying or building for myself (at the moment). The same as I used to do, my son also likes to instantly start building when he sees new sets released. What I am doing at the moment is to provide him with instructions (with the help of LDD or ldraw) of these new Lego models, but based on his current amount of Lego bricks. Together we work out alternatives and put them in the computer.
So I don't think I will become a very regular poster, but more a reader.
thanks for reading
