- LEGO interests:
- LEGO entered my life when I was about six years old. For my seventh birthday in 1968 I got the Starter Train Set with Motor #116. I remember well that it had cost my parents 25 Dutch guilders which was a large amount of money at that time. It equals about US$ 80 in 2012.
From the age of 6 to 14, LEGO was the only thing I played with. Then I thought it was too childish to play with it anymore and I stored my collection -with pain in my heart- into a large box. The Dark Age.
In October 2011 (at the age of 50) I bought a LEGO Technic set (8065) and soon after a couple of other Technic sets. It was an great pleasure building all those sets and I found that it was very therapeutic... it calmed me down after a hard days work. To make a long story short: after buying five Technic sets I realised that although they were fun to build I had no relationship with cars/trucks/cranes. What to do after the build? Riding them over the floor?
Then I bought a couple of Star Wars sets and was lost.
Not only building them was a lot of fun but there's also a story to every set.
Than came the modulars, the ideas sets, Ninjago City... Should I tell more? - Contact:
