Occupation: Full time student, soon to be rocket scientist (no kidding!) On R.T.L (A.T.L) Since: late 1997 # of Sets in LEGO Collection: I don't even know. Big ($20+), maybe twenty or so. Little sets and just parts, I couldn't say. # of Unopened Sets in Collection: Zilch. Lego sets are to be opened and played with, not speculated on. # of LEGO Pieces: 10,000? # of LEGOfests Attended: 0 # of LEGO Theme Parks Visited: 0 First LEGO Set: A story here: When I was 4 or 5, our house burned. All my baby toys melted into colorful blobs. That night we stayed at a motel, and Dad bought my and my little sister a box of Duplo blocks. I sort of remember it was a carton with a spout on the side (like instant potatoes). Anyone know the set number? Favorite Theme(s): I love Space the best, and I don't think it's deteriorated at all. The Warp Wing Fighter and the Insectoid cricket rover are great sets.

I love my Black Seas Barracuda, and I have the real-looking Town space shuttle (1682), but I also covet my sister's M-Tron rover and airport. Favorite Piece(s)/Minifigure(s): I would have to say the Classic Space 3-way thruster piece. Not too useful, but awfully cool-lookin'. Set/theme you would like to see: I'd like to see a "classic" line where selected sets are reissued. Like the ones I missed...
