From: Elaine Wilson <closr@earthlink.net> Date: Thu, 22 Jan 1998 13:24:54 -0500 Organization: EarthLink Network, Inc. Name: Elaine Wilson Gender: female Year of Birth: 1973 Mental Age/Status of Inner Child: Oh, somewhere between 8 and 16. The magic age that fits in the bogus "suggested age group" for Legos, but can still drive to the store and charge things. ;) Location: Clearwater, Florida, but on my way back North where I belong later this year. E-mail Address: closr@earthlink.net LEGO/home page URL(s): http://people.delphi.com/closr2fine/index.htm Marital Status: single Children: none Occupation: copy editor/designer On R.T.L (A.T.L) Since: 1994 (yes, really -- I think I last filled one of these out during the first Clinton administration) # of Sets in LEGO Collection: approx. 60 # of Unopened Sets in Collection: 10 (mostly stuff I bought dupes of without realizing it, plus a Dragon Defender which I think is just too hideous to build) # of LEGO Pieces: I have no clue. Less than a million, more than fourteen. Closer to fourteen. # of LEGOfests Attended: none # of LEGO Theme Parks Visited: I've been driven past the Carlsbad, CA site -- *very* briefly, and without realizing it was there. Does that count? :) First LEGO Set: A big flat box with styrofoam dividers (childhood memories are *so* undependable) from circa 1977. Favorite Theme(s): Castle Favorite Set(s): King's Castle, probably, but ... it's strange, but the Paradisa Sand Dollar Cafe is almost cooler. They used pieces in ways I'd never seen before. Favorite Piece(s)/Minifigure(s): I love Majisto. I have nine of him. They get together and conjure police boats and lock Timmys up in caves. It's a party. Set/theme you would like to see: I'd like to see the Adventurers sets in my living room, please. Current LEGO Project: Purchasing more shelves so the Coastal Patrol police boat isn't next to the Islanders anymore. It looks ridiculous. Greatest Claim to LEGO Fame: The fact that I'm probably going to end up paying an hour's wages for one lousy 'DkGray Belville Cat' in Auczilla, just because I didn't buy the damn set that has it at MacFrugal's when I had the chance. Other (Non-LEGO) Interests: Words, sentences, paragraphs, chapters, books, sequels and the acquisition of shelves.

Organization: Customer of Access One Pty Ltd, Melbourne, Australia
Name: Thomas Dunn
Gender: male
Year of Birth: 1968
Mental Age/Status of Inner Child: Everything from 8 to 18 / Active
Location: Canberra, Australia
E-mail Address: thomas.dunn@actew.blessyou.au (note the deliberate
substitution of com)
LEGO/home page URL(s): http://all.my.money/~isgone/before/a/homepage.htm
Marital Status: Married - Eight years and proud of it!
Children: Three - boy 6, girl 3, boy 2
Occupation: Systems support/technical specialist
On R.T.L (A.T.L) Since: 1994 then a three year gap to late 1997
# of Sets in LEGO Collection: Er..please define "set"! Does Spares
Catalog # 5229 - Differential Gears - constitute a set.
Yes = ~60 ( +~25 more that the kids own), No = ~45 (+25 for kids)
# of Unopened Sets in Collection: ~10 (mostly spares sets, but one
skeleton hideaway which is a repeat (received as present),
the train controller (I have no trains) and the ~1994 Technic Trike)
# of LEGO Pieces: Call it thousands, but how many, Deu seulenez!
# of LEGOfests Attended: what's a Lego fest?
# of LEGO Theme Parks Visited: Does via Netscape count? ;-)
First LEGO Set: circa 1972 Wheels set - perhaps 57a or 58a
(won in heat of building contest Jan 1973) followed closely by Set
#3b - Universal Building Set (won in finals :-).
Favorite Theme(s): Technic for building, Castle or Town for Play.
Favorite Set(s): 954 Go Kart (first Technic set - sentimental),
but I love the look of the 357 Castle. I wish I could afford one :-(
I would also dearly love a 8880 SuperCar...
Favorite Piece(s)/Minifigure(s): Differential, pistons, any plates / Skeleton.
Set/theme you would like to see:
Current LEGO Project: Sorting out all the pieces my Mum bought at
sales/markets...
Greatest Claim to LEGO Fame: Probably winning the 3b set in 1973,
but perhaps being the most recognised technical builder in my
neighbourhood from 11 to 18, primarily for designing "supersteering",
a system which seriously improved the 954 Go Kart's rack and pinion
steering system's turning circle. There were several 954's around, and
we had regular meets to race our models against the clock through a
tight course made of scattered bricks and other lego debris. Sigh.
That was fun, when I had time to do those things...
Other (Non-LEGO) Interests: Terry Pratchett's Discworld, computers,
my family, the Australian Outback, 4WDing, pool, chocolate, friends,
soccer, puzzles, paradoxes and connundrums, flirting, mechanics,
photography, volleyball, scrabble, chess, Trash & Rock'n'Roll music

On R.T.L (A.T.L) Since: December # of Sets in LEGO Collection: Who knows, I always open them and throw out the boxes. The technic gets sorted, the rest goes in a big tub. Anyway, a lot. # of Unopened Sets in Collection: none # of LEGO Pieces: thousands # of LEGOfests Attended: 0 # of LEGO Theme Parks Visited: 0 First LEGO Set: Some basic building set in the early 60s. It's unfortunately long gone. I seem to remember it having a battery-operated light, so you could make a house and light it up, but I might be thinking of something else. Favorite Theme(s): technic Favorite Set(s): rebel wrecker, technic motorcycle with chain drive. Favorite Piece(s)/Minifigure(s): technic differential Set/theme you would like to see: MORE AND MORE AND MORE COMPLEX TECHNIC SETS! Current LEGO Project: my $79.95 space shuttle that I've been working on for about a month. Greatest Claim to LEGO Fame: none, except among ninth-graders unlucky enough to be in somebody else's class. They think all we do is play with lego! We do, however, do a lot of REAL work too. Other (Non-LEGO) Interests:
