Let me introduce myself...

A little about myself:
I'm a father of two in my late 30's. LOVED Lego as a child, and entered my first Dark Age around 1981-1982. I played primarily with Space, and I packed up my Lego before Castle really came out in the US.
I came out of my 1st DA around 1997-1998 when the popularity of Star Wars resurged. I had stumbled upon some images online of amazing SW custom minifigs, and I started dabbling in buying some new sets. For the next 4-5 years, I bought everything in sight, and was a clearance machine. I scooped up all the low price Lego I could. I wanted to build the huge castles and cities I never could as a kid.
I entered a second Dark Age around 2004-2005, and basically dropped out of Lego. No buying, no selling, no Lugnet, no Brickshelf. I just lost interest.
My son just turned 6, and got a nice SW Lego haul for his birthday. I've been having a BLAST watching him build the models (he's very good), and then building his own creations. This has led me out of my 2nd, and hopefully last, DA!
I look forward to being able to contribute as soon as I get my collection organized!
