Wanted to drop in any finally say hi. Joined a few months ago and still working on my profile. Its nice to be part of a community whi shares common interest in the world of legos. Been a lego builder since 8 years old and still building and collecting till today!

welcome out of the shadows

Wow no dark ages? That's pretty dedicated.

Welcome to Brickpicker....a great place to be....your wallet and significant offer might not think so though : P

Welcome.

Welcome.

 

Any favorite theme?

Welcome, lamlamboy.

Thanks for the welcomes. Located here in southern california. Been collecting for a while but went off to college and had my entire set thrown out. Started again back since 2006. All themes are great but like many others here, im a fan of modulars. Spent a nice amount to get the entire set ( including green grocer and corner cafe). When i get a chance, ill update some pixs.

Good stuff. I think its funny - almost everyone here loves the modulars.

They might be my LEAST wanted sets in terms of building. I don't break out a ton. My personal collections is about:

 

150 Star Wars sets

Tower Bridge

All the LOTR and Hobbit sets

5 Technic sets (increasing this by a lot soon - fell in love with the technic line)

Probably a Sopwith Camel soon

A few Harry Potter sets and all the Disney sets for my wife.

 

I may eventually grab a few other themes, but the modulars just don't really appeal to me. I would take an SSD over any modular any day. 

 

But hey - I am weird, right?

My personal collection consists of LOTR and Hobbit (of which I will have all soon), a Grand Emporium, and Harry Potter and a few Disney sets (still to come) for my wife as well.  I've been resisting on getting some Technic sets, but I think I will eventually cave, as I think the line is pretty awesome.  As far as Star Wars, there's just too much out there for me to even consider collecting it, as I like things to be complete and with SW that's just not realistic for someone who just started collecting a little over a year ago.  So your taste (and your wife's) is not weird at all to me, except for your dislike of Modulars... =)

Welcome!
