Hello all,
I signed up on this forum after reading a little bit.
I barely learned some jargon of this forum such as AFOL and "dark ages".
I used to be into Lego during the 1980s (~age 6-8). But I guess i hit my dark age when I turned 12.
For many many years I stayed away from lego . I got back somewhat into it 2013 but gradually lost interest because the one item i wanted was retired (Emmet's small car.)
What got me into it again was the coincidence of the lego dimensions release of the Back To the future set of Marty McFly + hover board + Delorean time machine and the special date of October 21, 2015.
I am not a video gamer but really wanted the delorean time machine. As of now I haven't taken any steps to purchase the individual pieces but eventually will.
I am starting small with the emerald express (31015) and the RV + canoe (60057). But even if I took the time to sign up on this site I still consider myself a casual AFOL because 1) I am financially struggling 2) i practice moderation so I limit my purchases to the sets I really love, and 3) I am in an uncertain living situation so buying Lego sets will be cumbersome. I keep in mind that Lego collecting is a *want* and not a *need*.
So...I hope to read about great topics and hopefully contribute a little bit.
