Hi, I am Rich (not in the bank lol)

Hi all,

I'm Rich from the UK. I've been into Lego since the late 80s to late 90s. I thought it was a good idea to sell it all to buy a DVD player in 2000, big mistake! Then had 15 years away and returned to the Lego scene about 5 years ago producing stop motion brick films for Youtube. Not done much filming since COVID appeared, and the kids being at home. It did give some thinking time which made me create and submit my first ever Lego Ideas project called Retro Arcade. Hoping to receive some help and guidance on how to get to the magic 10K. That's it for now folks, thanks for reading.

I was at a local carboot sale and saw a technic truck with a pneumatic arm on the back, I thought why not so bought it and decided to do an animation of me building it,really enjoyed doing it so made a Batman animation for youtube as the Lego Batman film was due out and it got millions of views. Guess the right place at the right time. Then won a few Lego animation contests and won signed Minifigures from the actors voicing Batman, joker, garmadon, Lloyd, parts of my entry are actually in the Ninjago movie and the full entry under bonus features on the dvd, also won a trip to Lego house, so did ok really 👍

Welcome rich from the UK! You definitely would be rich, if you had kept your old Lego sets and sold them now...

I know, such a poor decision, I had some good ones including the barracuda, monorail, loads of model team, etc, got a nice modern collection now though, I may buy some back in time 😊

Whoah! Not an answer I could have predicted, but that's a great story! Congrats on all your hard work and your brickfilming success.
