I started becoming an AFOL early this year when I was helping my 6 year son build his Lego sets. I did not undergo a dark age since I did not have Lego when I was a kid due to family financial situation. But since becoming an AFOL, I managed to accumulate 100+ sets in a short period of time, which is quite scary. So I started to track my purchases in a spreadsheet to hopefully manage my (impulse) purchases. This is hard to do since there are new sets and even old sets that I really like. I have narrowed my interest to the following themes: 1) Lego Ideas 2) Modular Buildings 3) Master Builder Academy 4) Lord of the Rings and Hobbit (our family love the movies) 5) Friends 6) Castle I have been reading the posts in the forum for a few months now and love seeing the Mocs and set reviews. I would like to be more engaged in the forum.

I think that's a wise decision. Last month, I purchased a slightly used Fire Brigade from ebay for $199 with free shippping. It's in like new condition, I am very happy with my purchase. I see one FB selling on ebay for $220 dollars plus $12 shipping right now. I think the prices for FB would not go as high as the other modulars, probably a lot of people bought it for resale.
