Favorite LEGO toys/themes: Classic Space, Medieval

My fascination with LEGO began... When I was 3yrs old and got a box of Duplo. I moved on to buying small lego sets regularly and the biggest lego set I ever got for Christmas was the Galaxy Explorer! :)

I once built... an assault vehicle using the 4 rare big lego wheels I got from a box of wheels. It was awesome! It totally crushed smaller vehicles and it was like an armoured tank.

Someday I will build... 2 lego space cities, a fleet of lego warhips which can deploy spaceships and/or missiles, and at least 2 big lego castles complete with dungeons to fit dragons in. I'm already working on 1 such castle.

LEGO is great because... it looks better than any other bricks and the colours are great.

LEGO fans are great because... they have style :)


My favorite Non-LEGO Toys: Rabbit and seal soft toys

My favorite Hobbies & Interests: Collecting lego and soft toys, playing Ascendancy (a 1996 computer game), keeping fit, sci-fi

My favorite Foods: Rice, noodles, Kraft Pasta, Veggie Delights,

My favorite Movies & TV: The Time Machine, E.R, Buffy, Angel, Silver Surfer, Spiderman

My favorite Music: I don't like any music.

My favorite Pets & Animals: rabbits and cats


Words which best describe me: Shy, reclusive, helpful, sad, cute, romantic, perfectionist, obsessive, intelligent, autistic


I love it when... the stores sell half price lego and ebay has good 80's lego at a cheap price.

I hate it when... Spiderman isn't on tv because I can't draw cartoons ;(

I can't seem to get enough... classic space lego, medieval lego, skeleton minifigs, good minifigs

I always seem to have enough... 90's lego. It can be ridiculously cheap sometimes but there are still some good pieces.

I hope I always... manage to look under 30.

I wish I could... spend 10 times as long with my lego as I do.

I could never... marry someone I didn't love.

I hope I never... look older than 30.

I wish I hadn't... let my classic space minifigs rot get damaged over a 20 year period and given some of my lego to my cousins.


In my craziest moments... I don't know I'm funny when I'm hilarious.

Believe it or not... I stopped collecting lego from ages 13-24 and I almost gave all of it away! I am also not quite obsessed with lego

If I were super-human... I would be super fast. This would enable me to build lego cities in less time too.


More & Less:
  • more 80's lego and computer games, especially new updated versions with the same style., less 90's computer games and lego: They suck.
  • more time spent with lego, less time spent on the computer
  • more cartoons like Spiderman and the X Men, less other cartoons and tv programs that aren't comedies or sci-fi

Rules I try to live by:
  1. Love means more than anything (including lego!)
  2. Good memories are worth more than all the money in the world
  3. Greed is bad. Don't spend ALL your money on one thing.


Additional comments:

Lego has been my longest lived hobby/collection. I no longer play with lego, but I collect it and welcome anyone who has any interest in lego to contact me if they like.

I have Asperger's Syndrome and I welcome any questions on autistic spectrum disorders that anyone might have.
