I'm alive!

Hello everybody!

Stone Goblin here.
I've finally arrived, been a lurker for about a year or so. Thought it was time to register and join this great site.
I've been collecting Lego since 1988. My brother purchased some first in 1986-87 and stopped buying around the time I started (guess he wanted me to pay for them with my allowance). I had my dark ages in 1995-96. Missed most of the Royal Knights and Dark Forest sets. I'm actually from California Sunnyvale/San Jose region. Little Fact, some of my first legos are from two Toys"R"us stores that are considered haunted. One is right next to the Winchester Mystery House and the other is in Sunnyvale. I never experienced anything weird, but I do recall the place to have cold spots in the alleyways. Then again it's a store and it can get cold.
Oh well back on topic. I've lived also in Hillsboro, Oregon; Moscow, Idaho; Viola, Idaho(beautiful scenery on a hill looking down Washington's valley as far the eye can see) and now Jericho, Vermont surrounded by trees. My favorite theme is Castle of course. But I don't mind building other theme MOCs. Collection has about 2,400 figures ,200,000 pieces and 1,000 sets. Half the figures are from castle sets. I also have a collection of reference pixeled art that I did of lego figures and weapons that will be on my site when it's done.

Favorite set is Knight's Challenge(have two of them).
Favorite figure is the red bandit foot soldier from the Ninja sets.

Visit my bio page for more of my interest and some art work. Check my anti-change classic colors Lego banner(warning:contains lego figure blood) and other work. Working on a website for MOCs.

Welcome to CC!

Your website is really cool. I'm just skimming through right now, but I'll go back tomorrow and go through it deeper (I'm very tired).

I hope you enjoy your stay here. I look forward to some great MOCs!

Thanks, everyone!

The website isn't that deep, just some interest of mine which could be updated and a few art pieces. Also some links of a few of my favorite sites.

I really liked these! They are a good idea, and pretty original - I don't recall ever seeing anything like this before, and it looks good.

The artwork is based on Celtic art which you might see on the Vikings sets, I wouldn't call it Celtic but the artwork looks almost the same.
I've used a book called Celtic Art: The Methods of Construction 159 pages b&w it's a cool book if you want to learn or just look at beautiful Celtic knot work art.

Hey Stone Goblin! Your mention of Sunnyvale's TRU grabbed me, as I grew up in Mountain View, and frequented that "haunted" store on El Camino Real.

*shivers*

I'm glad you finally decided to stop lurking, and join in the fun!

V-Vermont? Yes!!! Somebody else in the state likes Legos for what they really are, not just as kids toys! What part of the state may I ask (with my luck you live down in Brattleboro)? I live in Middlesex (just outside Montpilier). Hope to hear more about you later.

Anyhow, glad to see lurkers come out of hiding, and to any who may be reading this: register! We don't bite. Except maybe Legofreak (and when he does it hurts).

I live in Jericho ,VT in Chittendton County just about 15 miles east of Burlington. I google map your city location and you're about 30 to 35 miles away.
