Good day everyone!

 

Just 2 weeks ago, I stumbled on a pretty deal on a 10221 Super Star Destroyer set and immediately bought it. Guess it was the start of my journey from the wilderness from which I was lost to for the past 25 years! Damn corporate rat race! :hang:

 

When I was a kid in the 80s (yes yes, I am that old), I would wait eagerly for my Dad to return home from his overseas trips as he would buy me lego sets to play with. Well, as time went by, I lost touch with Lego. I have always walked past the Lego stores and ohh and ahh at the huge Star Wars sets on display but I didn't have the financial means to get any.

 

Fast forward to 2014, now in my mid 30s, I am starting to have a bit of disposable income to enjoy myself and why not Lego! Since I bit the bullet 2 weeks ago on the 10221 SSD, I think I have rekindled my love for Lego & Star Wars and am now on my furious collecting spree! Wife & wallet are groaning in protest now. :rofl:

 

After searching the Internet and forums, I have narrowed my potential collection to Star Wars (OT) and hopefully UCS sets, amongst other OT Star Wars sets... so currently to date, I have collected in 2 weeks:

 

  1. 10215: Obi-Wan Starfighter
  2. 10221: SSD
  3. 10227: B-Wing
  4. 10198: Rebel Blockade Runner
  5. 75059: Sandcrawler (Collecting this weekend)
  6. Some Microfighters
  7. Some smaller Star Wars sets

And my 1st buy, the SSD is still unopened... the nightmare of building and finding a place for a 1.24m long Lego set can be quite a challenge! :wink:

 

Finding older UCS sets is financially crippling!! And I can't wait for the new 75060 to come in!!

 

Oh the choices! The prices of the older UCS... Dilemma dilemma!

 

Thanks to everyone who reads this post and I hope to join in more discussions!

 

Cheerio!

 

PS: May I please know what is TBMF? I encounter this term quite often whilst looking at eBay etc... Thanks!

Welcome! I actually have not seen "TBMF" used for eBay. Usually it's MISB (mint in sealed box) or NISB (new) or some variation....

On this forum, TB = tower bridge and MF = millennium falcon.

Nice pick up with the SSD!

Thanks Matt1147!

 

I cleared it up with the eBay seller and it was a term that he created to distinguish his sets from others! Haha!

 

Sorry for the confusion!

 

Can't wait to pick up the Sandcrawler tomorrow!

 

I just need the time to build my sets!!! :)
