Hi everyone! I'm 30 years old and haven't really been interested in LEGO since I was probably about 10 years old. Well, my kids like Harry Potter, I got them the LEGO Harry Potter video game, and I tried it out myself. Pretty fun. I saw the Harry Potter LEGO sets that were available and decided it would be fun to build Hogwarts Castle with them. It was really fun, so then I got The Burrow. I got hooked. I started looking at what else was out there and saw the new town stuff. When I was a kid, I was interested primarily in the Classic Space theme, then later by the Castle and Pirate themes, and didn't have much interest in the town stuff, but now that's the theme that seems the most interesting to me. Too bad this stuff's so expensive, but on the other hand, now I can afford the big sets that I could only dream about as a kid. I'm more into LEGO than my kids now! I think a lot of kids these days get spoiled with video games, and don't have much interest in classic toys like LEGO and stuff.

Anyhow, that's my story, and I'm very excited to have found such a great community!

Greetings, 'Captain Coconut', I myself have recently gotten hooked on Lego aswell, great feeling that !!

There's plenty of forums here to enjoy, (spoilt for choice) he he, so anyway enjoy your time here at EB, and welcome to EB. :laugh:

Welcome aboard!

I wonder how many of us share a similar change in our tastes? I always preferred castle and pirates and space as a kid. As an adult I got really excited about the first few years of the Star Wars license which coincided with my "return" to the hobby. But now I really just want to build a giant LEGO town. OK, I still plan to have a castle and a pirate ship and a space port/launch facility but you see where I am going.

Enjoy!

Welcome to the site. It is a great source for all things Lego.

Harry Potter lego got me back into Lego also after about 16 years. I saw the new sets and had to have them all. Since then I have the video games under the Christmas tree, not to mention multiple books/movies updated also.

Check out the licensed forum for some good HP related stuff.

welcome and enjoy the boards :)

Welcome!

Ah, the typical relapse story... been there man, damned kids and damned Lego... good luck! Oh and if by chance you have not yet discovered the Collector Minifigs try to stay away from them - trust me.

Too late, I've already got bitten by that bug too, and it's not cheap either!
