Posted December 30, 201014 yr Hey Eurobrickians (???) I've been posting here and there but didn't properly introduced myself. My name is Caio, best known in the interwebs as MetalRufflez, and hail from Banana Land aka Brazil! It's a shame that Lego is so astronomically expensive here (just an example, a NXT2 costs R$ 2300,00, approximately US$ 1371,00) and Lego S@H don't ship to this continent =P, but we do what we can to keep up with the hobby. I've been in the Dark Ages since 1998 when I bought a 2879, then this month I decided I wanted to try a Technic. I've saw them in the catalogs we had around here when I was a child and thought they were so strange, looked like a 3D Wireframe, but I've always wanted to try one, so I bought a 8259, and fell in love with Lego again, so I went frenzy and bought another 12 sets this month (no big ones unfortunately). Since it's Christmas and my Birthday, I had excuses. It's been a joy! I still like System (bought yesterday a Midi-Size Star Destroyer and loved it), but holy cow, Technic is so awesome, and the MOCs are so ludicrously well done that is inspiring me to try some stuff. I really want to do some RC thingy , but PF is really hard to bump around here, so maybe I'll try eBay or Bricklink. I didn't create any MOC (yet), but I love to photograph the Sets I build, so I've set albums for them here if you like to check them out: http://metalrufflez.imgur.com/ (didn't build the B-Model for the majority of them, still waiting for the other sets I bought to be delivered to do them all at once) That's pretty much it, you're an awesome forum and a great and dedicated community. See you around! Edited December 30, 201014 yr by MetalRufflez
December 30, 201014 yr Welcome to Eurobricks Caio! We're glad to have you here, I hope you enjoy the forums here. See ya!
December 30, 201014 yr Welcome to EB, MetalRufflez. It's a shame that LEGO costs so much where you live. I've always thought that the NXT 2.0 was expensive here in the States, but that price is astronomical. I'm glad you are finding ways around it. I hope to see you around.
December 30, 201014 yr Welcome to Eurobricks! Thats said how expensive Lego is in Brazil. I hope you enjoy the forum!
December 30, 201014 yr Hello MetalRufflez! Nice to meet you. I agree with you, the limited accessibility to Lego in some countries or continents is truly a shame. Even I find myself complaining about European prices at times whereas you Brazilian guys have to pay approximately 1500 American bucks for that NXT robot (which is a great set, by the way ). Cheers!
December 30, 201014 yr Welcome to Eurobricks MetalRufflez, and Happy Birthday for today too (you share the same birthday as me)! ~buddy~
