Posted October 7, 201410 yr Thought it best to introduce myself, I'm Matt from Ipswich, QLD Australia. I used to be a fan of Lego as a kid, although I never gained too many sets and used to play with my cousins. Fast forward 30ish years and the Lego bug has bitten. I was initially interested in Technic as that was most what I purchased as a kid. My first purchase as an AFOL was the technic 42022 HotRod - I purchased this set as it was cheap and a good test run to see if i still enjoyed Lego. I then moved on and purchased the 42024 Container-Truck and was becoming hooked. I then discovered another world of Lego and purchased the 21108 Ghostbusters-Ecto-1 as I was a fan of the movie. Soon after I build the 10220 Volkswagen-T1-Camper-Van and absolutely loved the build and detail. Since then I discovered modular building and want them all! My first and only modular at the moment is the 10218 Pet Shop, although I have started to source a few pieces of the Green Grocer via BL and will keep on sourcing the parts till I have them all. I'm also currently building the 42030 Volvo-L350F-Wheel-Loader and also loving this build.
October 7, 201410 yr Welcome fellow Queenslander. I can relate. Growing up my cousin always had more lego (mainly classic space) and i loved hanging out with him building stuff. Ah the memories i think that is why i am enjoying Lego a second time around.
October 7, 201410 yr Welcome Chaosboi, I was not far from you last week (in Cairns, now). It's a very nice area, but not much lego stores around here. Where do you get your sets from ?
October 7, 201410 yr Author Hi samlr, I'm starting to buy a few of the large rare sets from a guy I meet on GumTree, every time I meed him in a random car park I feel like I'm buying drugs! So now I call him me dealer. I often image the cops listening to his phone and trying to work out which Lego sets match which drugs!! lol
