LEGO/home page URL(s): too lazy Marital Status: nNO body LIIIKES meeeeeee. *snif* Besides, I HATE that dateing scene Children: none of my own, but do lots of 'take care of's of someone else's. Occupation: Shlupping it up in Toys R Us. On R.T.L (A.T.L) Since: last month. # of Sets in LEGO Collection: 20 big ones, 30-40 minor ones. and a few that were bought just for parts. # of Unopened Sets in Collection: ONE, but that's because I got 3 others of it now. # of LEGO Pieces: ... ok, 2 1200 tubs, 4 800 tubs, 3 600 tubs, various sets... add the 4, take away 2,... hmmmm, ... ehhh, odd guess I'd say 10,000 or so. But I wanna get up to the MEGA collector level, like the dude that made the Titanic. He's my HERO! # of LEGOfests Attended: None, but am trying to convince manager at store to try and have a lego sealed deck contest, where they get a small box of freestyle, and one or two random sets, and they have a set period of time to make something interesting in various catagories. Problem is, we can't charge for this, so we end up giveing the small sets away. I'm trying to work around this. # of LEGO Theme Parks Visited: Gimme 5 days and I'll answer YES to this! Going to SanDiego in 4 days! YAAAAAYYYY First LEGO Set: ... technicly, it has to be one of those, what we term now as, freestyle sets. But the Space Crusier set, was my first REAL set, followed by the Galaxy Explorer, and was hooked for the LONGEST time. LEGO Dark Age: gotta be from the early 80s untill recently. First LEGO set after the Dark Age: Landspeeder. That set me off, though I did get a couple of the blacktron sets from the first run of those, I thought they sucked compared to the original space sets. Still do, but I kick myself for not getting more. Favorite Theme(s): Original Space series, though I would have liked to get the Explorians series. Favorite Set(s): Actually I liked the Sith Infiltrater, though it should have been at a better scale I feel. Favorite Piece(s)/Minifigure(s): Female Insetoid. Put a black hair bit on her and she looks cute. Set/theme you would like to see: Would like to see a Town Home series, or at least a more contemperary sets. The original Paradisia sets were a step in the right direction, but we need to go further. Belview does NOT cut it. Current LEGO Project: The TOWER. 25 level in the base, and a sphere like structure on top. The *ahem* legistics of such a project are somewhat daunting, especially money wise, but I figure if I snag cheap ass sets, I'll get there. Greatest Claim to LEGO Fame: Nothing really yet. Other (Non-LEGO) Interests: Computers. Anime, Jpop. Gold Digger. Used to have RPG in there but kinda fell out of that due to falling out of group I was with. feh.
