RXBandit Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 (edited) ok, let's see, where to being? my name is Justin, i'm 28 and i just recently (like within the last 3 weeks) got back into Lego. like most of you prolly were, i was obsessed as a kid. i moved from the classic sets to Technic when i was 12 or so and gave up on Technic at 15, even though i still loved both deep down, i had too much else to do, particularly playing baseball and meeting every girl i possibly could haha. for years and years i never thought about Lego, not even noticing new sets that were out. then, right before Christmas, i was back at my parents house and they found an old Technic piece. i have no idea why, but it piqued my interest to the point where i looked online for what the new sets were like; i was pretty impressed. i went out to Toys 'R Us and bought a small set and put it together and, honestly guys, i think i had more fun building it at 28 than i ever did as a kid. i started looking for what other Technic sets i wanted and decided to just go to the Lego Store in the Garden State Plaza (in Paramus, NJ, about 10 minutes over the George Washington Bridge from me)... well, i went in to look at Technic sets, but i wound up looking at so man Start Wars and City sets and just couldn't stop myself from spending $130 on assorted stuff... i think i had even more fun putting my City sets together than i did with the Technics. i started to look for reviews on the internetses and that's how i stumbled onto Eurbrocks. i've lurked a lot as a guest here and i gotta say, you guys do a great job. some random facts about me: besides my newfound affinity for Lego, i also LOVE baseball (particularly the New York Mets) and music (particularly all things punk, pop-punk, pop-hardcore and, my favorite, skatepunk). i play a lotta PS3, right now i'm all about Bayonetta... and between all these things and my girlfirend (who i love even more than Legos (is that blasphemous? haha)), i wouldn't have time for any other hobbies if i wanted to. other miscellanea: born in the Bronx, grew up in North Jersey til i was 17, since then i've lived in seemingly every apartment in the Bronx, New Rochelle and Yonkers, NY. i also talk too much (and have a dirty mouth, though i've been controlling myself here), as you may have noticed haha. i'm also looking to sell a lot of my older stuff that i don't have any sentimental attachment to. almost all of it from 1986-1990. feel free to ask if i have anything you want, cause odds are i do. i hope i can contribute to this forum as much s everyone else seems to and i look forward to getting to know you guys. oh, and i took a shitload of pics when i was putting together the Combine Harvester (7636). i wanted to write a review of it but i noticed there was one already up. is it frowned upon to put up a second one of would that be ok? Edit: wow, i REALLY talk too much haha. Edited January 12, 2010 by RXBandit Quote

Welcome to Eurobricks and welcome back to the LEGO addiction! You are most definitely welcome to review any set that has been reviewed before. It is always nice to get a different perspective. Quote
