Jvvv Posted December 8, 2008 Posted December 8, 2008 Hi! I'm nearly 30 years old AFOL from southern Finland. I've been hanging in Eurobricks a while and decided to begin also discussion with this little introduction. I've been collecting LEGO's my whole life, and during the few previous years the hobby has maybe ran a little bit out of hands... At the moment I'm doing inventory for my collection. I've assembled now 172 sets with over 25.000 bricks, but the brick boxes and tubes seem as full as in the beginning. Today I started also measuring the weight of my collection. My guess for final weight is about 200-250 kg, but officially I haven't got any clue about the real size of my collection (weight or brick count), we'll see. I moved into bigger apartment few months ago and at the moment I have a whole room for my LEGO hobby. Now I'm starting (first the inventory, of course) my huge brick city project, with about 200 baseplates (I think I have to build partly multi-leveled city because the lack of space...). I'm wondering if the project would deserve a thread of it's own, because I'm sure there will be several problems during the project and I think this forum could be a nice place to find answers, ideas and tips for building. Best Regards, Jvvv, Finland Ps. Any other members from Finland? ;) Quote
CopMike Posted December 8, 2008 Posted December 8, 2008 Hi and welcome Jvvv ! Sounds like a great collection you have there and some exciting projects! It´s always nice with fellow scandinavians here. There are more finnish people hanging here so you´ll be able to hook up with for sure ! CopMike Quote
Jvvv Posted December 8, 2008 Author Posted December 8, 2008 Hi CopMike and thanks for your welcoming words. Nice to hear there are other Finns too (I couldn't check because the search is offline). And nothing wrong with Swedes, though. Aah, your music business... Quote
Tim Bit Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 Welcome to eurobricks jvvv! I am a descendant of a descendant of a descendant of a Finnish person. Do you have any other favorite themes besides city? Hope you have fun here. Quote
Skelotic Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 Welcome. By chance are you into any Finnish rock bands (HIM, 69 Eyes, etc.) or are you one of those sophisticated types. Quote
WhiteFang Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 Welcome to Eurobricks! I am looking forward to your collection. It must be hard to store all of your assembled sets, and keeping the dust at the bay. I am sure you will find many interesting topics and tips on town building as well. Enjoy your stay with us. Quote
Sandy Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 Moi ja tervetuloa! Sure, there's at least one other Finnish member in these boards - me! I have to say, my collection pales in comparison to yours... Toivottavasti sä viihdyt täällä pitempäänkin! Quote
Guss Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 hello and welcome, and sorry, I'm not from Finland^^ Quote
Jvvv Posted December 9, 2008 Author Posted December 9, 2008 Tim Bit: The Town/City line has always been my absolute favourite. In my childhood i also collected Pirates. Recently I have been interested in Harry Potter and some other licenced lines, but nowadays I can buy sets from any line - if I don't like the set itself, I can use the parts somewhere else. (Bionicles is the only line i hate, I think they aren't LEGOs at all) Skelotic: Sorry, I'm no friends at all with Finnish rock music, quite the opposite. I love Swedish schlagerpop. :pir-skull: Sandy: Nice to see other Finns, though I came here to discuss internationally. It's very interesting to see how something can relate people all over the world together so well. Maybe I start that thread about my project soon... Thanks for you all! Quote
paksu Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 I'm nearly 30 years old AFOL from southern Finland. Me too. Tosin hieman aneeminen postaamaan. Täällä on turhan paljon junnuja nykyjään... lähinnä seuraan uutisia. Quote
Ras 74 Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 Welcome to the boards! As said before, nice with more Scandinavians here. Looks like you have all spare time occupied for some time ahead :pir-skull: Looking forward to see a layout, and first stages of your town. -Ras- Quote
Sandy Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 Me too. Tosin hieman aneeminen postaamaan. Täällä on turhan paljon junnuja nykyjään... lähinnä seuraan uutisia. No sehän ei muutu muulla kuin että me "vanhukset" postataan enemmän, eiks vaan? Sorry to turn this topic into a Finnish-fest, but if you other guys want translations, just ask. Quote
Guss Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 *guss loves to be a boring man* I want translations Quote
KimT Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 Welcome to Eurobricks. There's a few members from Finland here, Sandy is one of them. Glad to have another Northern Scandinavian around Quote
