Rapseflaps Posted August 12, 2009 Posted August 12, 2009 Hello everyone, My name is Marc. As a kid, I used to have a blast playing with my LEGO sets. I was mostly into the Town series and later on moved on to Space Lego. I used to enjoy playing a lot more than building, which could be very tedious (I always chucked all the bits on a massive pile, which could make seeking out small bits take forever when I was on one of my rebuild-everything-I-own binges). Anyway, Lego sort of disappeared from my day-to-day life as I grew older, until recently. This year, I rediscovered Lego in a big way. Just for fun, I went on another rebuild-everything-I-own tour and discovered the joys of actually building the stuff (unfortunately it turns out I'm missing quite a few parts, but I still enjoyed the hell out of it). After that, I got some of the minifig sets that came out recently as a gift. My first new Lego in at least 10 years (might be 15 actually - how time flies). Since then, I've been sort of indulging myself in new Lego sets. I think I've reached a peak in buying new stuff for now, but at least the building was a hell of a lot of fun. Also, holding brand new parts in your hand, like legs that have never been bent... awesome. Anyway, I decided to join this forum as it looks rather fun. I made some pictures of my town when I rebuilt it a few months back. I'll try to post those too if anyone's interested. It's not one of those vibrant, massive, custom-designed cities I've seen posted around here, but it has some nice sets that at least to myself hold great nostalgic value. It doesn't have any of the new sets added and has already been demolished again, but who knows. Maybe it will rise once more soon and the old and new Lego can be combined. :) Thanks for reading through the waffle above and cheers, - Marc Quote
Wout Posted August 12, 2009 Posted August 12, 2009 Lol'd about your nickname. Hello and welcome on Eurobricks. Dutch on! Quote
Rick Posted August 12, 2009 Posted August 12, 2009 Lol'd about your nickname. Hehe... Welkom/Welcome, maybe you should add 'The Netherlands' to your 'from'-field, now it only says Alphen aan de Rijn. I doubt many people outside the Netherlands will know where that is. Quote
Rapseflaps Posted August 12, 2009 Author Posted August 12, 2009 I was going to, but then there was that "Your Country" box in the profile menu. Fixed now though. Quote
