I just got out of my dark age myself ( even if I got the winter toy shop a few years ago as a xmas decoration, and have been buying legos to my niece since she's 3yo) by buying myself the VW minivan and the seaside creator house. I'm looking into the modular series and I'm so mad at myself for missing on the CC and GG when they were still affordable. The lego movie helped making me cave in again I'm sure. I'm now in the process of cleaning and sorting my legos from my childhood before trying to reconstitute the sets i can. The cleaning in particular is taking forever.

Also, I'm not sure I'm in the right place to ask that but was not sure i should make a new thread just for that... Does it happen that some tires get kinda 'sticky' over time (there again 20 years in a box) and is there any way to fix this ?

I've recently started cleaning my stock of Lego from my childhood and I faced the other problem regarding a particular piece, that little black technic pin thingy that goes in the bricks that have holes. Some of them, who stayed assembled and untouched for maybe the last 20 years, gave me a hard time to separate. Actually some even let a black mark inside the yellow technic brick they were inserted in.

Hi everyone, my name's Emma, I'm 33 and I finally came out of what people around here seem to call 'dark age' by getting myself the Vw minivan set and a creator seaside house. I'm also in the process of cleaning my stockpile of Legos from my childhood and see if i can reassemble some sets. And of course I'm dangerously lurking at the modular series, mad at myself for missing the ones that are now discontinued (and that i can't really afford at market price). Let's face it, I'm already planning on getting the modulars I can and having a few ideas for some modular MOCs already, so I'm back into the brick building thing i guess. Also lurking at Benny's spaceship from the lego movie, to go with my old space sets.

My favorite game series of all time are the Fallout (1 & 2, but i like New vegas and 3 too) As at what am i currently playing, I just finished walking dead season 2, I'm playing dishonored, lego LotR and keep going back to Terraria.

Wow those steampunks minifigs are amazing! I wish i had the spare parts to make some of them. I should go brickhunting i guess.

Terrific! I can't wait to see more if you keep going, I'm especially curious about how you'll make susannah and oy <3 Anyway great work, looking forward to your next piece :)

I'm late to the party but i'm totally fascinated by your rainbow stairs! Great job!

This is really lovely! I just finished building my Seaside house and I love it so much that i was pondering getting a second set and transform it as a modular house, so I went to check on here if someone had already done it. Your post even made me create an account to tell you how great your mod is (Long time lurker first time poster) !
