jal4u2c Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 I've been collecting LEGO now for about two years. I invest a little just to support my habit. Mostly stuff i can find at clearance such as the Black Pearl. I have collected Star Wars stuff in general for the last thirty years. Finally got burned out on action figures. I had friends that collected Star Wars LEGO but i never really thought much of it. Once i bought a set for myself though, i was hooked. Putting them together is very therapeutic and calming. I still collect some other Star Wars stuff like Gentle Giant busts and statues. I also collect Hot Wheels as well. With all this stuff, I am running out of room though. LOL I'm disabled with a heart condition so that's another reason i've cut down in the past few years. The problem with LEGO is there is always new cool stuff coming out. I can hardly keep up. Other than Star Wars, I also have been getting some of the Superheroes sets, but am wanting to get into the modulars as well. The money limitations are what keep me in check there. Anyways, i found the site doing some web surfing and i have to say, it's very informative. I'm glad to be a part of such a large collecting community! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diabolos80 Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 "what about the twinkie?" Classic. Welcome to BrickPicker. You should take a break from star wars and try a modular. You won't regret it. Actually, get yourself a Haunted House. It's pretty expensive, but I think you'll be glad you saved up for it. And, as you might have learned from this site, you can always resell it later :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
