Another new AFOL already heart broken

DarthMorl

Hi All, so after spending most of the late 70's early 80's playing with the magic little bricks here I am again enjoying it all again with my 7year old daughter

Legoboy

That's where it starts, blaming it on the kids to excuse the amount you're about to spend......

Welcome.

DarthMorl

Oh believe me........ It's not the kids I blame☺️

samiam391

If it's not the kids now, it will be later... when you're trying to justify it all.

DarthMorl

Ha ha...... Yes I guess that's true @samiam391

Elune

Welcome! So tell us, what are your favourite themes?

DarthMorl

Wow so I have just realised that my massive "intro" has been cut about 90% short

DarthMorl

Character limits??

jadblz

Welcome aboard!  There are character limits but should be far more than your intro?
No harm at all in taking interest in your kids LEGO.  After all you are the one that has to pay for them!  It's well within your parental rights to build with them as well.

So into include info on the wife's addiction to the fantastic modulars

DarthMorl

And my addiction to the Starwars theme and how a good friend who is lego crazy informed me about UCS sets while mumbling some strange number and laughing to himself...10179!!

DarthMorl

Yes I couldn't agree more @jadblz

welcome .!! not going to lie i did giggled at the blame the kids for buying so much lego or at least use it as a justification .. i sure do and in no shame in that ..1000$ of legos last week and allready  looking into buying bulk city sets unopen  just to keep and maybe resell later and keep on feeding this monster that is never satisfied .

Fauch

1000$ in a week? and I thought 200€ in a month was already slightly unreasonable

DarthMorl

Yes I too am finding this can be a VERY expensive hobby if you let it lol

I think that when you're getting out of the dark age, mass buying is somewhat "normal" (or at least very common), especially if money is not too much of a problem. I've bought my first Lego set in November 2014, and when I look at my collection summary on Brickset, I can't believe that I've spent so much on Lego in just 6 months. But hey, that has never prevented me from paying the bills, eating well, being well dressed, saving money for my daughter's studies or doing fun activities with my little family so... It's ok, really. As long as you keep it within your means. :)
