My Lego love story went like that.
When I was a little kid, I loved toys to play in the bath tub and my parents decided to buy my first Lego set (don't ask me which one, I don't remember).
I guess I loved it so much that they continued to buy sets. This became a real habit and I wouldn't want any other toys.
I loved the classic city, castle and space themes and had quite an impressive collection.
Then I started to enjoy video games at the same time.
One holiday, I went to a summer camp in the US and at my return, my parents gave ALL my precious bricks away :'( After a while I got over it and my habit and passion for Lego went into oblivion.
Suddenly appeared the SW theme in 1999. I did not move at that time. I think I really got back into it big time 2/3 years ago.
And the story repeats itself once more, the habit became a real passion again ;)
