I'm American but live and work overseas in a little (but extremely densely populated) country called Bangladesh with my family. I'm a nerd through and through, into comics, gaming ummmmm.... Texas Hold 'Em Poker, ****** Scale model trains (selling those off though), juggling, euro board games, etc. etc. etc. Too many hobbies.
So, here comes a new one I guess. I promised the wife I'd take 'er slow this time and so far so good. I haven't bought a comic book in 6 weeks now! I'm so proud.
Started getting into Legos cuz I stupidly showed Star Wars to my son and he pretty much went nuts. Wanted Legos. So, I'd been poking around on Amazon looking at the Star Wars stuff. Then, after getting tired of not working on my ****** Scale trains for far too long, took a look at the Lego trains and decided I'd give that a try, mostly because they're Legos and I don't have to mess around with glue, paint, paper maiche etc. That led to the idea that I have extra money (I live in an intensely inexpensive country) so why not speculate some? I'm a smart guy, right? We'll see.....
Also, my brother is a big time ebay Lego trader and makes a respectable amount of money doing that although he doesn't flip sets. He's into buying up lots and selling off the valuable parts.
