Hi EB,
My name is SmallTownBrickBoy and recently became Lego enthusiast again, after suppressing it for almost 25 years. It all started around Christmas, when I was out buying presents for my nephew who is six years old. He wished for some Ninjago and I really wanted to give it to him. During the Christmas-shopping I was talking with my girlfriend about how cool it would be if Lego made the Curiosity Rover at one point. And then we bought the Ninjago and that was all.
The thought about the Rover would get out of my head - so I visited lego.com and lord-and-behold, CUUSOO #005 was just about to be made and was available for pre-order on the website. A few clicks - and I ordered it.
I got the package yesterday - and I just assembled it this morning.
I also bought
2 x 10664 LEGO® Creative Tower
1 x 70709 Galactic Titan V29 (it was on sale)
I guess I'm hooked again :)
