Wily Manc

I am a graduate in Sociology & Social Policy with Social Work Studies, (it was a very sociable course). I graduated from Southampton University in England. But it turns out that I can't do anything with that degree so I'm now studying Modern Language Studies (English & French) online through the Open University. I'm due to graduate in 2014!!

Would love to see Home One as a ship, but I think the general concensus is that it won't happen. Just as long as I finally get my Ackbar, (and maybe Mon Mothma and Gen Madine too), I'll be . Bring on the fishy heads!!

Bok Matija! Pleased to meet you! I have the same problem with Space! My Lego just keeps spreading out!

I've just checked my collection against Bricklink and found I have all of them Must've been from my conservation period, eight 'macaws' too. As for the poll - toucan for me; I think Lego chickens would be a bit dull - little brown moulds, easily lost I reckon.

Thanks for the welcomes folks, it's good to be somewhere Lego will never run out of shelf space. I hope to see you all in the forums. LegoFranks: all your classic space sets?? I would've been straight down the hospital to take it back!! imperialshadows: I foolishly sold all my pirate Lego (imperial soldiers included) on eBay when I was desperate for money. Silly me!

Hello, my name is Wily Manc and I'm a brickaholic. I'm from Manchester, England, and I've been collecting Lego since 1999 (when they brought in Star Wars Lego). I still have some of my original Lego pieces from when I was a kid too. I'm mostly interested in Star Wars Lego (I have about 300 minifigs), but I'm also partial to the odd franchise, (Indiana Jones, Harry Potter, Spiderman, Batman), and I quite like the new castle stuff too. Fortunately I have a very sympathetic other half who lets me indulge in my hobby!

How about an albatross? Or did pirates never visit the South Seas?

Cool

Mon Calamari Cruiser all the way - I've wanted Akbar almost as long as there has been SW Lego. Too bad it doesn't sound like it'll be a full cruiser in the style of the Imperial Cruiser - would've been good. Have previous TRU exclusives been available in the UK? My first post - yey!
