Posted December 12, 201311 yr Good day my fellow LEGO enthusiasts! At the age of 12 or 13 I became a big boy, and of course big boys don't play with LEGO . Now, 15 years later, being 27, I left what you apparently call the "dark age". Just a month or 2 ago I received my first new LEGO set in a long time, in my appartment in The Netherlands. As a child I always had the most fun with LEGO Technic. All the gears and axles and moving things were just great, so I thought, hey, let's start (over) the right way immediately and got myself the 42009 Mobile Crane MKII. Building it and finding out how everything worked (a lot stayed the same but also a lot has changed in the past 15 years) gave me the LEGO fever, so after these 2 months I also own the 9396 Helicopter, 42008 Service Truck, 31313 Mindstorms EV3 and the 8110 Unimog. For now that should be sufficient to keep myself busy for a while . The Mindstorms set, combined with the loads of parts from the other sets, has my special attention. Being a Java software developer I of course like programming, so what's better than combining that with LEGO? That said, I do like "industrial appliances" much better than e.g. cars and trucks, so I'll probably try building things like brick sorters, service robots and ball contraptions (akiyuky is my hero already). Well, now that you know me a little bit, I hope we can have a lot of fun together on these forums! Roel
