Favorite LEGO toys/themes: Town/City, Space, Star Wars

My fascination with LEGO began... A long time ago (circa 1979, maybe).

I once built... The Eiffel Tower with my uncle, >3ft (0.9m); a highly detailed steamboat (~2.5ft, ~.75m long); many items from movies: vehicles from Aliens, the underwater research center from The Abyss and numerous Star Wars vehicles before LEGO marketed their own. I also turned my basement into LEGOLAND as a kid. It covered about 30-40 baseplates of area.

Someday I will build... An even bigger basement city.

LEGO is great because... Like their motto, it's a different toy everyday.

LEGO fans are great because... Well, I don't know many yet, other than my cousin, but I know we're pretty creative and mechanically inclined.


My favorite Non-LEGO Toys: Star Wars, G.I. Joe, Transformers (the latter two have all been sold, though)

My favorite Hobbies & Interests: Baseball Cards, Star Wars

My favorite Foods: too numerous

My favorite Movies & TV: Star Wars

My favorite Music: RUSH, Peter Gabriel, Sting, other Classic Rock artists

My favorite Pets & Animals: Dogs (puppy named Naboo)


Words which best describe me: complete


I love it when... You find the piece you're looking for immediately and don't have to go digging through the bucket.

I hate it when... I have to dig through the bucket repeatedly looking for that last stupid piece all the while my wife is yelling at me to come get dinner.

I can't seem to get enough... pieces. It would be nice to have an unlimited budget :).


More & Less:
  • more time, less work, obligation
  • more money, less bills
  • more pieces in the new LEGO sets, less pre-fab vehicle chassis; lack of doors on vehicles; solid, un-openable vehicle roofs

Rules I try to live by:
  1. EVERYTHING in moderation (even LEGO).
  2. Don't work for a living, live for one.
  3. I don't care if nobody likes me as long as everyone respects me.
