A New Addition to the Female Fans of LEGO

Elune

...because FFOLs sounds too much like "folles" in my French-Canadian mind. :D

So, like many others I liked LEGOs as a child though I did not own a hundred pieces in total (3 mini sets that I own). I got to play with my sisters' too though - except the fortress (6081) which I could barely touch it - and my friend's who had awesome Pirates and Castle sets (and female minifigures! How I loved them!).

I am now 27 and the mother of an adorable 18 month old girl. I really started collecting LEGOs a few months ago, when we bought a house, in which we will move this summer and in which I will have plenty of space to put my sets or MOCs on display. I already know where my Black Seas Barracuda is going to be. :smiley: I now own a few dozen sets. I have a rough idea of eventually making a LEGO photostory (if you are making one or reading one online, please feel free to share it with me). :p

I love everything Castle, Pirates, Western, Harry Potter, Pirates of the Caribbean, Lord of the Ring/Hobbit, Lone Ranger, some Creator sets, and basically every thing with animals, fauna and not much technology. I love the Elves brand too, though I would have preferred "regular" minifigures. I also like most modular buildings.

That's pretty much it! See you around!

Welcome to the forum from another Canadian member! ;)

I've always been a fan of classic Lego, especially space and pirates.

Bumblepants: Thank you and by the way, I love your avatar.

Bobabricks: We used to have some small spaceships, but I was not a huge fan. I do like Star Wars though - I plan on getting the Ewok village, which would go well with the rest of my collection.

Welcome to the forum Elune. I'm curious, what's a LEGO photostory? Is it a series of LEGO vignettes depicting a story?

Elune

Chuckp: It's like a comic book, really - except you replace the drawings with pictures. Here is an example: http://www.smackjeeves.com/comicprofile.php?id=22693
Photostories are very popular in one of my other hobby (ball-jointed dolls) and I like making them. So I want to see what I can do with LEGOs.

^ Ah, very cool. If you do make a LEGO photostory, I hope you'll post a link. I'm sure we'd all be interested in seeing how it turns out.

Welcome, @Elune!

Elune

Thank you!
@chuckp, if I do make one, I will share it of course.

Great to have you on this forum @Elune  You have great taste in themes. And I to am interested in that LEGO story that you may or may not make. Hope you enjoy your stay here. Huzzah!

Welcome and nice to hear that you like SW.

Hi Elune, we seem to have the same taste in themes, although I do like space sets with technology to! Welcome to the forum and look forward to see some of you art!

Elune

@Andor The best thing is that my one and only godchild is a fellow Castle fan. :smiley:

@TarDomo I can't wait to see what Disney has made with SW.

@snowhitie Well, I was brought up on a farm by nature-loving parents so I guess it's only natural that I would love nature. I can appreciate beautiful City and Space sets in other people's collections, but I don't feel the need to have any in mine. Except the Ewok village because "tree dewllings".

TarDomo

@Elune Yeah, it´s gonna be interesting. Exited and terrified at the same time.

I hope I´ll make it to the premiere here in Finland.
