Posted March 9, 20159 yr Hi! Just found this forum, please allow me to introduce myself. I'm Chess, 28 year old Belgian and a long time LEGO fan. I'm one of the traumatised and compensating type. Here's the back story: My 5 year elder brother and myself started to get Lego gifts very early. Very fortunate, since I consider Lego the 'cause' of my spacial awareness, imagination and technical know how as a kid. Got various kits, didn't mater as they didn't stay original for long. In my head my own creations were WAY better! I also got a few bags of random bricks which I now recognise as Classic Space from elder kids in the family. Yay! Then disaster happened. I turned 12. It was the age my parents considered too old for Lego. I had to build what I could and my parents sold all the complete kits except the very big, expensive ones. I got to put the money in my savings, but still... Traumatised. All that was left was some Old 1981 high speeds train set that my father glued together and a Technics rally 4X4 and water plane. Basically kits that were my brothers and I 'couldn't touch'. I was young and the years helped my forget what was lost...;) Now, 14 years later I rediscovered Lego and want t o rebuy ALL the sets I had to sell ( the ones I can remember anyway :p ) It's going to be grand! I'm not going to list what I have already ( mostly new kits anyway ), since I don't know all the set numbers but I could do the effort if you ask. Also, I am planning of the following diorama's: - MOC Arctic line: Making the Arctic like complete with Medbay, Arctic rescue post, supply post and better communications post. Oh, and my minifigs needs beds and a mess! ;) - I'm a railroad technician... You can guess what I want to build ;). I have the Horizon Express and want to go the 'supply' route - Modular buildings! But I want to turn them into a northern city. Think Scandinavia or Canada. - Small airfield with train connestion for.. yup, supplies ;) I have plans for most but you know what Lego REALLY misses? A rescue - MedEvac helicopter. Think 'Sea-king Helicopter' They never did a proper one. Now, out of curiosity, any of you experienced a similar story? ;)
