Hello all,
After lurking these boards a few months I finally decided to join.
I'm a 28 year old guy from Denmark. Married, have a 4 year old son, and a baby girl coming in a few weeks. Currently studying to become a teacher.
I just got back to Lego late last year.
My return was initiated by my mother calling me up one day asking if I wanted the old Legos from my childhood or if she could just sell them. I was at her house 10 minutes later, stuffing a 10kg box in my car.
Luckily for me I had a week off from studies and I slowly started identifying sets and rebuilding them. Lots of old space themes, M-tron, Blacktron and such.
Needless to say I was hooked.
After rebuilding what I could, I turned to newer sets. Always having a thing for Star Wars, I continued my journey there.
I then stumbled upon this site, spending a few nights reading various threads I saw a thread on the pricing of the 10179 Millennium Falcon. This was it, I had to have this set. I spent a month or so resarching the Falcon, parts needed, rarety and so on.
Enter Bricklink. Amazing tool. Made everything so much easier.
So here I am, 3 weeks, 12 BL orders and 2 Lego orders (one still on its way) later, ready to build my Millennium Falcon. Easter break cannot get here fast enough :)
This was a short recap of my story. Looking forward to being part of this community.
