paanjang16 Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 (edited) Hello everyone, paanjang16 here I'm from Kuala Lumpur, capital of Malaysia and born in 1984. Will be 25 this year, male, still single and hopefully can get more sets I'm a mechanical engineer, designing building services like air-con system, fire-fighting system, plumbing etc. Used to play with the Lego Town sets from mid 1980s to mid 1990s such as Lego Town, Lego Space and a few smaller sets from other series in between. Extremely thankful to my parents for buying me such classic sets which to me is still better than today's set (Sorry, I'm bias ) Got out of my dark age around early this year with the purchase of the 7632 Crawler Crane. Was instantly hooked to the design of the set which is extremely realistic and almost like the real crawler crane in the construction sites. Glad Lego went back to the basics and produce sets like these which to me is like classic town. Anyway I still have some very old but not complete sets (blame it on the way I used to play with toys as a kid) like:- Lego Airport 6392; reconstructed recently Metro Park and Service Tower; not reconstructed yet Safari Jeep with suspension; reconstructed recently and many many more Even have some Duplos with a barnhouse and farm animals (look the the red tractor, I think it is still sold today as a Lego set ) The Legoman from the airport set and Metro park and service with the car wash assembled for a photo shot. The most recent Lego set was the Thunder Driller. The planetary gear system was the one that made me bought it. Still looking for some old sets which I never could have gotten since I was like... less than 10 years old Anyway taking the drill from the Thunder driller and combining it with the crawler crane, it will become a bore pile drilling machine! That's how useful those crawler cranes are in the Lego construction site. I am also a forum member of the Lowyat.net forum. We have our own thread on Lego at the site. Not as big as the Eurobricks forum though. http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/228340 Again, cheers and hello from Malaysia! Edited June 8, 2009 by paanjang16 Quote

paanjang16 Posted June 9, 2009 Author Posted June 9, 2009 Thanks guys. Yes, it sure will an expensive and additive hobby as well. That's why it is good to come here and research more about the sets before buying Another shot of the old Lego airplane. Pilot assisting his passengers to get aboard since there is no steps or ladders. Luggage guy placing luggage in the back. If it does look abit weird, well some parts I have to salvage from my pool of Lego parts and improvise since I lost the original part Quote
