Posted July 16, 201311 yr Hi all, I was just wandering if there was another topic about how you found out about EB if not then i'd really like to start one. Thanks Tariq j
July 16, 201311 yr I'm pretty sure I've seen a topic like this, however I found EB through google searches for LEGO.
July 16, 201311 yr Author Hi brickus thanks for the reply i'll have another look through the forums to see. Thanks Tariq j
July 16, 201311 yr i like to read lego reviews before buy a set, them i noticed that many good reviews are from here. so i decided to join.
July 16, 201311 yr A link from the Brothers Brick to Svelte's review of the Temple of Doom. Summer 09.
July 16, 201311 yr Actually I found EB through a link on Brothers Brick......visited for a few months before joining and I have not regretted it one bit......it's been a blast so far and ready for more in the future. Brick On everyone !
July 16, 201311 yr I emerged from the Dark Ages with a copy of 7051-Space Tripod Invader and I wondered what other's thought of it. A quick google search led me here. I put my feet up, made myself a cup of Tea and I've never left.
July 16, 201311 yr I found it looking for pictures of trial trucks on google. I already knew it, but I had forgotten its existence xD
July 16, 201311 yr brickset methonied something and i decided to look and found rhis website and joined it
July 16, 201311 yr I searched Google to find good reviews on the 8110 Unimog U400 in the spring, to find out more about the parts used etc. before buying it, and among the results was a review on this "site" eurobricks.com. I found out it was a forum, and started reading more topics in the Technic, Mindstorms & Model Team section. And eventually I had to register and take part of this forum
July 16, 201311 yr I searched on Google for reviews of Avengers sets. I found them, wanted to join in discussions, so I signed up The funny thing is, only about ten of my posts are in the licensed forum!
July 16, 201311 yr People on Mocpages were posting about the Guilds of Historica and I wanted to join. 11 months later I did. Procrastination much?
July 16, 201311 yr I was really into the HP line and by chance found the winter break contest and joined a few weeks later...
July 16, 201311 yr I knew about Classic-Castle and Forbidden Cove, and through them I learned of Eurobricks. I basically left Forbidden Cove for the Pirate forum here. It was a great decision.
July 16, 201311 yr Author Hi all thank you all for your replies, here's my story: I was looking for reviews and found EB they were so good I looked further and joined! Tariq j
July 16, 201311 yr I think I was slowly getting back into the idea of LEGO after a really long dark ages, so I was looking at flickr groups and someone that I liked on there had a link to a eurobricks post. Then I started checking out the site more and more and eventually joined after lurking for about a year. It definitely helps eat away the day when I have nothing else going on.
July 17, 201311 yr The laml podcast(is that still updated?). He had Hinkley on in one episode talking about classic town.
July 17, 201311 yr The question for me was not somuch "how" I found Eurobricks, but why was I hunting. Back in 2010 when I was more interested in Mindstorms and Technique I was hunting for information on the new 8043 Excavator and I found lots of info here. I soon discovered the Cafe Corner and my interest in Modular buildings soon followed. Andy D
July 20, 201311 yr I was reading and old article about Gerry Burrows's Garrison of Moriah and amongst the comments there was someone reffering how he left his Dark Ages and joined a community online. I considered the idea and looked for a Lego Forum on Google dedicated to adults.
July 24, 201311 yr I was looking for some instructions of a Pirates set I had as a child. If I knew about this community earlier I would have joined. I also found about Brickset at the same time.
July 25, 201311 yr Author I was looking for some instructions of a Pirates set I had as a child. If I knew about this community earlier I would have joined. I also found about Brickset at the same time. I also wish I'd found EB earlier as well.
July 25, 201311 yr Something reminded me of how much I liked LEGO as a kid, probably ebay. I think I had been googling "LEGO city layouts", or something "LEGO". Ended up finding the Brick Factory instructions site and Brickset, eventually ending up here. After a week or so, of looking around, I joined up and haven't left. Thank you EB & LEGO for making sure I don't have two pennies to rub together
July 25, 201311 yr I showed a fellow lego fan brickset and brickshelf, and he pointed me to Eurobricks as part of our exchange. I have lurked here since 07, but I joined when the prince of Persia contest began, I had kept saying I would sign up, and the contest provided me the perfect reason to.
