Governor Mister Phes Posted April 23, 2005 Author Governor Posted April 23, 2005 This seems to have happened all very quickly and I feel the need for royalities for inspiring this idea... Quote
Sarg_Kulo Posted April 23, 2005 Posted April 23, 2005 Just read page 3. Let me guess... off-topic? Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted April 23, 2005 Author Governor Posted April 23, 2005 My page 3 is probably different to your page 3 because I've set the number of posts per page to maximum amount possible. Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted April 24, 2005 Author Governor Posted April 24, 2005 We're not allowed to be off topic anymore or Johnny Fett will close the thread down. The lad means business... So in the interest of getting back on topic: Ohhhhhhhh Johnny... How did you become interested in LEGO? Quote
jonfett Posted April 24, 2005 Posted April 24, 2005 I began my interest in Lego at around the age of 5. I had a pirate ship and a small fire station but that is all I can remember. I began to collect the Star Wars range when it came out in 1999. My first set was the Naboo Fighter. My favourite SW film is Empire Strikes Back, most of my favourite sets are from that film. AT-AT, snow speeder, Cloud City, X-Wing. Jon. Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted April 24, 2005 Author Governor Posted April 24, 2005 Then you won't want to tell me how old you were when you got that first set of yours... Quote
eDeevo Posted April 27, 2005 Posted April 27, 2005 My 'addiction' actually began back in 1989, when I received these two sets for my birthday: 6054 Forestmen's Hideout 6077 Forestmen's River Fortress It was then that I began to buy all the LEGO Castle sets I could afford at the time... I also got into the Pirate line during that same year, buying the 6270 Forbidden Island set (among others)... I went into a 'dark age' after graduating from HS in 1993 (am I that old?), although I did keep all of my LEGO, I did not remove them from their rubbermaid prisons for some time. Everything changed when the LEGO Star Wars theme was introduced. That got me interested in getting LEGO again, I had bought/acquired almost all of the SW LEGO sets up until the Episode II sets... it was then I began releasing my old LEGO Castle & Pirate sets from their rubbermaid prisons, and it rekindled my love for the Classics. Ever since then, I have been trying to get all of the LEGO Castle & Pirate sets I can get. Although, I have neglected to buy any of the newer ones because I am truly unimpressed with the direction TLC has been heading with them. So I depend upon bricklink, eBay, and other people to help me feed my 'addiction'... & it has been working well so far ;) Life is Good. Quote
Ras 74 Posted April 27, 2005 Posted April 27, 2005 What set Mr Phes??... Oh... I guess arround 4-5 years... Ed_dotcom? You have sold of all (almost) your SW sets, haven Quote
eDeevo Posted April 27, 2005 Posted April 27, 2005 Ras 74- Nope, I still have many more of my SW sets available...but I prefer to trade them for LEGO Castle & Pirates...interested? LMK ;) Life is Good. Quote
Ras 74 Posted April 27, 2005 Posted April 27, 2005 I knew you was going to say that! :-D Just because my good friend Copmike and you did some buisness together a while ago... I Quote

marvinblue Posted January 7, 2008 Posted January 7, 2008 My Dad assured me not that long ago that the first set bought for me was 361 - Garage, followed shortly by 675 - Snack bar (in the same link). I also remember 379 - Bus Stop and 381 - Police Station. They're all still assembled at my parent's place, along with a heap of other sets, waiting for the grandkids to play with. Another awesome set that was most probably my favourite was 6382 - Fire Station. I really loved this one. These days, I think my favourite set would be 7945 - Fire Station. Seems to a reacurring theme here.... X-D I was bought back from the wilderness a couple of years ago with set 7891. Since then, I've been buying every City product I can get my hands on. Mostly the collection has focused on Fire products, but I've also got a good Police force, EMS team as well as general buildings and vehicles to build up my City. After all, my ARFF truck has to have a city to belong to! My brother and all my sister's had great fun with our Lego collection. Ah, the memories!! *sweet* Quote
legotrainfan Posted January 22, 2008 Posted January 22, 2008 How I became interested in LEGO? Well, this is now going to be very vague at the beginning. When I was about four, I can vaguely remember being given ambulance 6688 and Weekend Home 6380. I still have them and they are almost complete. I don't have the ambulance's white tile with the red cross on it anymore. I don't have the weekend home's stickers. I think they were never used. They must have got lost a while after I had got it, I suppose. I have neither the box nor the instructions for both sets. Only some years ago could I rebuild the ambulance and the house because I bought a CD with most LEGO instructions on it. But the weekend home was not complete. So I had to buy some parts on eBay and from TLC itself. And the red plate 6x16 for the house was broken into two pieces. I was simply too young to take care of such sets well. As you can see it took a long time to complete them. I can remember a blue tracter with shovel, but maybe my memory is deceiving me here, because I have no single brick that could prove I have ever had it and no box nor anything. Maybe it was someone else's set I once played with. I also got some fabuland sets, but they are far from being complete. I cannot even tell what sets they were. And there might have been one or two DUPLO sets when I was small, but I am not at all sure. My mum often visited one of her female cousins when I was small. She just lived one or two minutes away from our old home. So I always went with her for one reason: LEGO, Playmobil and a model train. The latter I was not allowed to touch. It was a "real" modell train and not a LEGO one. My mum's cousin had so much stuff because she had three boys. All of them were several years older than I was. And I took advantage of that circumstance! By the way, I was the oldest child. My sister had just been born, and my brother was not yet born. So I could not use the toys of older brothers and sisters. Later in the course of my childhood my sister and I got some starter sets - I can remember one red brick bucket that we still have - and several other sets. I always got playmobil and LEGO stuff, but somehow I always liked LEGO a bit more, especially the older I grew. Always before Christmas or before my brother's and sister's birthdays I tried to influence their Christmas/birthday wishes. I wanted them to wish LEGO sets so that I could also profit from their wishes. My attempts to influence them always remained unsuccessful. :'-( My brother always preferred playmobil to LEGO. He only has 25 to 30 LEGO sets. My sis preferred barbies and only has 5 to 10 LEGO sets. But I have their LEGO sets now. :-P They don't care much about them anymore. My LEGO collection grew in my teens, but especially in my teens I was made fun of because I was still a LEGO fan at the age of 13 and 14. Everyone else had a Super Nintendo and a Game Boy. So I let myself influence and also needed a Super Nintendo and Game Boy. I regret having them now. The games were always so expensive and everything's worth nothing at all on eBay. What a waste of money! I should have used it for LEGO instead! :'-( When I was 16, I stopped my LEGO hobby. I thought I was too old for LEGO. My dark ages began. Some years later I discovered eBay and used it as a way of getting lost and broken pieces. Especially shields and weapons for my knights had been lost and broken. So I tried to get them on eBay to complete my sets. I am not sure, but I think the Santa Fe engine 10020 ended my dark ages. I HAD to have it!! I got it MISB on eBay. I bought it twice. I cannot remember having bought other used and new sets from eBay before it, thought there might have been some. Anyway, set 10020 set my love for LEGO afire again. And, of course, the Santa FE waggons followed (apart from one which I must still get), and suddenly I wanted to get all the 9V stuff I did not get as a child. Only in 2007 did I discover bricklink, and I have used it to obtain lost and broken parts, but also sets. Quote
zero1312 Posted January 23, 2008 Posted January 23, 2008 I was always interested in LEGO, since I got my first Duplo bricks. ;-) And I NEVER lost the interest. :-$ That's all. X-D Quote
