TimH Posted April 5, 2012 Posted April 5, 2012 Hi all. Just over a year ago I got back into building Lego Technic after being away from it for 15 years. It all started off when I brought the Compact Excavator (8047) thinking it would be cool to play around with on my desk, I now own 19 sets! I’ve just moved house so once I unpack the sets I will post a photo of my collection so far. Tim Quote
Technic Gearhead Posted April 5, 2012 Posted April 5, 2012 That sounds familiar. What are the highlights of your collection so far? Quote
TimH Posted April 5, 2012 Author Posted April 5, 2012 (edited) Hi Technic Gearhead. Hightlights of my collection so far would be 8421 and 8043 sets. Next on my list is 8109 which i'm saving up for. Edited April 5, 2012 by TimH Quote
jorgeopesi Posted April 5, 2012 Posted April 5, 2012 That sounds familiar. Hi, same story happens to me... go for the 8043 the best technic set in my opinion... Quote
Technic Gearhead Posted April 5, 2012 Posted April 5, 2012 Hi Technic Gearhead. Hightlights of my collection so far would be 8421 and 8043 sets. Next on my list is 8109 which i'm saving up for. Very nice! I have around the same amount and among them are those three. I received set 8063 as a gift and that got me back into Lego Technic after many years away. It has been fun so far catching up! Quote
dandexter Posted April 5, 2012 Posted April 5, 2012 (edited) Nice collection you've got going. I'v just recently got back into Lego after a few years off. This thread got me thinking, who has the biggest collection on here? Edited April 5, 2012 by dandexter Quote
dhc6twinotter Posted April 5, 2012 Posted April 5, 2012 Welcome! Your story sounds familiar. I just got back into LEGO about 2.5 years ago. It's nice to see another Technic builder on the forum! Quote

Thankyou for the welcome guys. dhc6twinotter i see your from the USA, I'm in North Carolina. Is there many Technic Builders from the USA on Here? Tim Quote
dhc6twinotter Posted April 5, 2012 Posted April 5, 2012 Thankyou for the welcome guys. dhc6twinotter i see your from the USA, I'm in North Carolina. Is there many Technic Builders from the USA on Here? Tim Well, awesome! I'm from NC too....I'm down in Fayetteville. I think there are about 7 or 8 Technic builders from the USA on this forum. Check this thread for more info. I don't know of any other Technic builders in NC. There is a big LEGO show in Raleigh on May 17th-20th. www.brickmagic.org Paul Boratko, another Technic builder from PA, will be attending and has some fantastic MOCs that will be on display. We also have a North Carolina LUG, NCLUG, that meets once a month at the Cameron Village Library in Raleigh. Next meeting is on Saturday, April 14th. Quote
Paul Boratko Posted April 5, 2012 Posted April 5, 2012 Yep.. I'll definitely be at the show in Raleigh next month... Quote
DLuders Posted April 6, 2012 Posted April 6, 2012 This thread got me thinking, who has the biggest collection on here? That would be Blakbird (a.k.a. Eric Albrecht, the "Technic Angel of Retribution" ) -- he owns EVERY Lego Technic set every released! His Blakbird's Technicopedia website is a great reference. Quote
timslegos Posted April 6, 2012 Posted April 6, 2012 Yet another Tim on the forums? Nice technic story, i haven't gone through the inevitable dark ages yet! tim Quote

His Blakbird's Technicopedia website is a great reference. I had a feeling it was him, didn't realize he had every technic set though. Also great website. Quote
Porty Posted April 7, 2012 Posted April 7, 2012 Yet another Tim on the forums? Nice technic story, i haven't gone through the inevitable dark ages yet! tim I've been wondering: What exactly are the dark ages? Times you have like no time to design legos or what? Quote
timslegos Posted April 7, 2012 Posted April 7, 2012 I've been wondering: What exactly are the dark ages? Times you have like no time to design legos or what? From what i have heard, it is usually when the entire colelction is either sold or packed up into moms attick while the young adults grow up. After some time later, possibly when they even have kids, they rediscover the magic of legos and either buy back a collection or rescue it from their moms attic . tim Quote
TimH Posted April 7, 2012 Author Posted April 7, 2012 I'm in Fuquay Varina. Thanks Daniel for the dates for the LEGO show, i look forward to attending. Quote
Siegfried Posted April 7, 2012 Posted April 7, 2012 Welcome... but this is in the wrong forum so I'll move it. Quote
dr_spock Posted April 7, 2012 Posted April 7, 2012 Welcome aboard, TimH. Nice to have another Technic fan. Quote

Right now is all I buy is Lego technic sets, I'm planning all these for sometime soon, that is if I can rack up enough money: 8258 Crane Truck, 8110 Unimog, 8069 Backhoe Loader, 8043 Motorized Excavator, and the 8109 Flatbed Trailer.
