G.I. Joe and Transformers.

I had bricks from my older half brother, but this was my pride and joy:

An update since the last time I posted in this thread. I'm 43.

I'm 31. I have a 9 month-old son now, which fortunately makes my LEGO purchases look more like future toy investments for when the wee lad is old enough to play with LEGO without it being a choking hazard, making this whole affair sightly easier for my wife to swallow, bless her heart.

MF0 has stemmed from my wife purchasing the LEGO A-Wing for my birthday last April, the first kit that I owned since before I took notice of the fairer sex. The collection has since grown to a smattering of LEGO Star Wars kits, my favorites being the Old Republic sets (Sith Fury, Jedi Defender).

28 here. Have a 10-gallon rubbermaid in the attic full of my old lego, plus some more recent Exo-Force stuff and my Star Wars sets which remain assembled. Also bought the giant robot Creator set on eBay a few years ago during one of my star wars set binges. He was fun to assemble, and had a ton of parts in 3 or 4 colors so made great parts fodder when I started pulling things apart a week ago. :p

Really hoping to get a 3-5 person play group going, I have a few guys at my work that are into the idea but the town I live in is a real deadzone for tabletop gaming. Don't even have a shop.

As my profile says, 40. I had some of those proto-figs when I was a kid, hand-me-downs from older cousins. My first set was , I loved Classic Space. My childhood lego collection was handed down to a younger cousin when I was in my teens, it had been years since I'd played with any of it. All of the lego I have now has been bought in the past five years.

31. Started with legos before I can even remember. I had a huge collection which was either thrown away or given away. ...and then there was a long dark age until recently.

27. The first LEGO set I remember getting was from the Spyrius theme.

30.

My dad brought home a giant cube made of mainly 2 x 4 red bricks when I was about 6 or 7. The oldest specific set I can remember buying was , I remember it being the "coolest thing ever" at the time.

16,

The oldest set i remember getting was an old creator city book, with 3 or 4 models for all the major 5 year old dreams (cars, construction, boats, planes) I still have the book....

somewhere......

Anyway, 6 siblings, 3 of each and i grew up building with my dad and cannot remember a single christmas when i didn't get a lego set from my parents (xcept 08' )
I have a old tonka toolbox i keep my MFZ legos in, under lock and key and hidden in the dark reaches of my closet
I am oldest though, so they never really touch it... I hope.

I think this a quote worth keeping. I'm sure someone said this before but Joshua put this in a great way.

Well, if I'm bringing this thread back... I'm 23, almost finishing college.

2017 Edit: Woah, time flies, 26 now, managed to finish college and get a job that pays some bills, fortunately. Joshua's quote still rock.
