So, after picking up a CMF "for the future" for my daughter a few months ago, I opened the package and had one of those choir of angels moments as my childhood/teen years came flooding back. I knew I was doomed in the best way possible. Really shame on me for being away from Lego so long.
There's loads to learn here and I'm so happy to have rekindled the hobby. Also, got the missus totally hooked! Success!
