I just wanted to say hello to all of my fellow avid Lego Pirate and in general Lego fans.
My story is probably similiar to most, as a young boy (5-10) I grew up playing with lego, particulary pirate lego was always my favorite.
My parents bought me a fair amount of the impulse sets and also some of the medium scale sets however I never lucked out with any of the big pirate ships or trading posts/forts.
Currently I'm 25 and roughly a year ago or so I was on ebay and figured Id see what some of my old favorites and some of the sets I used to lust after were going for these days...
... I then bought a bunch of them! lol
Still missing a couple sets, the Deep Sea Barracuda and Rock Island Refuge are must haves for me.
I put up a couple shelfs in the office but it looks like if I plan to get any additional sets Im going to have to buy more shelves.
I love the looks of the new sets I just cant for some reason buy them...
Ive been so close to pulling the trigger but they just dont have the memories the old sets do for me.
Anyway heres a couple pictures to show you what I currently have, you can barely tell when you first walk in that your about to have a big smile put on your face.
And then you look to your left.
I have to say the look awesome, I love the bright primary colors.
Also one other thing, I dont really play with them... not like I used to when I was a kid anyway.
Ive seen some very impressive collections and I can only assume that most people play with them... makes me feel kinda.. shitty/unimaginative!
Anyway just wanted to say I appreciates all of the AFOL's who put this site together, who continue to collect and build awesome MOCs!
