Every year for the past 4 years my wife and kids have got me Lego for Xmas and birthdays (actually I buy it and give it to my wife to wrap up - that way I get what I want!)
I'm 48 years old and apart from some initial doubters to my hobby, I soon put them in their place by showing how much some of my rarer sets are worth!
More passionate about Lego today then ever, although my collecting has moved themes, from Star Wars (got pretty much all I want) to Trains and the modular buildings.
