Marital Status: Single
Children: One, J.D., age 26.
Occupation: System Administration Weenie.
On R.T.L (A.T.L) Since: I wasn't sure last time, but at least since 1995.
# of Sets in LEGO Collection: Sets? You mean they come in sets?
# of Unopened Sets in Collection: 6. Still. The same ones, even.
# of LEGO Pieces: Not enough
# of LEGOfests Attended: 0
# of LEGO Theme Parks Visited: 0
First LEGO Set: Way back I remember both a fire station and a blue and grey
space ship called the Galaxy Explorer. How I wish I still had all the
parts to that Galaxy Explorer... all the grey wings I have, however,
are the left-side ones. Go fig...
(three years later, I still haven't got any more right-side wings...)
LEGO Dark Age: From about age 14 or so to age... uh... 20ish?
First LEGO set after the Dark Age: I don't recall. I expect it would have
been a 1993 or 1994 release, but it's been a while.
Favorite Theme(s): Castle, space.
Favorite Set(s): See "# of sets in collection".
Favorite Piece(s)/Minifigure(s): Grey ones. Still.
Set/theme you would like to see: Well, in the "completely dreaming"
department, Babylon 5 Lego sets would be cooler than the other side of the
pillow, but problematic from a scale perspective-- you simply can't market
a five-mile-long space station even if it's only in minifig scale. :) My
first few attempts at minifig-scale Starfuries, however, have bombed.
Current LEGO Project: I never did finish that thumpin' huge castle from
three years ago-- I'd get so far, and come up with better ideas. So I've
_still_ got a large (64x96 stud) castle in the works.
With all of my grey pieces tied up in a disarray I keep trying to call a
castle, I still haven't built that Millenium Falcon.
The othert thing I'm working on (using yet more grey pieces) is another
extension for my Galactic Mediator++. It's still not big enough.
Greatest Claim to LEGO Fame: None. I'm still boring.
Other (Non-LEGO) Interests: Classic videogame consoles (Intellivision,
primarily, but I also own a Nintrendo 8-bit, an Atari 7800, and hell, even
a Sega Genesis), automobiles ('99 Dodge Dakota R/T, '70 Plymouth Fury
convertible, '69 Coronet 440. Mopar. :) ), auto racing (Preferrably
NASCAR Winston Cup, but hell, I'll watch anything go fast. I'd like to get
into SCCA and do the going fast myself, but that'd take another automobile,
and I just don't have the space for the three I have... :) ), card games
(Favorites being Wizard, Skat and Spades, but I'll play almost anything that
doesn't require betting real money)...

Occupation: System Architect/Consultant On R.T.L (A.T.L) Since: Sporadic lurking, solidly on since November 1997 but mostly hang out on LUGNET(tm) now (http://www.lugnet.com) # of Sets in LEGO Collection: Wellover 1000 but not sure how far over # of Unopened Sets in Collection: perhaps 25% # of LEGO Pieces: Estimated at 400,000 but not sure # of LEGOfests Attended: Define Legofest! I have met with AFOLs all around the country, I may have the record for having met the most of us in real life. I think that whenever I post "hey, I'm coming to your town, let's meet" and at least 2 people come out, that's a fest... by that metric I've been to dozens. The most memorable would be the Carlsbad fest on opening night of LL Carlsbad. Gary Louie organized it, but then very tragically passed away unexpectedly and wasn't there, except in spirit. # of LEGO Theme Parks Visited: 1 (LegoLand Carlsbad) plus both the Mall of America Imagination Center and the Disney Village Imagination Center (That visit was the "awakening event" that roused me from my dark ages. First LEGO Set: Some 1960's Samsonite Canada parts pack but not sure which one. LEGO Dark Age: circa 1973 through late 1997 with a few glimmers of reawakening in 1993 and 1994 First LEGO set after the Dark Age: 4559 black/yellow train monstrosity but I survived it Favorite Theme(s): 9V Train, Monorail, Launch Command, Flight (complete in these), 12V Train, Town, Ice Planet, Blacktron, Mtron Favorite Set(s): Airport Shuttle, Metroliner, Century Skyway (have too many copies of each of these and will be thinning down) Favorite Piece(s)/Minifigure(s): Train Catenary pickup, Train Conductor Set/theme you would like to see: Star Wars parts pack or bucket (for the earthtone bricks) Current LEGO Project: Selling off some of my overstocks, LDrawing (in MLCad) some of my best work. Greatest Claim to LEGO Fame: Dunno. Mouthiest poster on LUGNET(tm)? First non Todd/Suz poster to LUGNET? Trusted Intermediary service? Factoring service? Fastest person ever to 9V Train complete? Tried to set up Bulk Buys more often than anyone else, unsuccessfully? Don Quixote of eBay? Know more AFOLs IRL than anyone else? You pick. Everyone knows me and trusts me Other (Non-LEGO) Interests: Being with my kids, computers, gaming, investing, swimming, skiing, all things British but especially including cars. -- Larry Pieniazek larryp@novera.com http://my.voyager.net/lar - - - Web Application Integration! http://www.novera.com fund Lugnet(tm): http://www.ebates.com/ ref: lar, 1/2 $$ to lugnet.
