New (ish) to LEGO

readersam

Hi, my name is Sam. I am new to the forum and brickset and relatively new to LEGO. I did not really play with LEGO as a child, except for a few mini-sets that I got in McDonald's Happy Meals. However, I am a huge Harry Potter fan and when LEGO came out with the Harry Potter theme, I had to get them all. I built the sets and played with them and had a blast. I discovered that I really enjoyed both the building and the playing. I then took a hiatus while I was getting settled in my new job. Last month, I discovered the Disney Princess line and while building them I remembered how much fun I had building the Harry Potter sets. I have since purchased the Elves line and am currently in the process of getting as many of the Friends sets as I can. I am not a collector, but rather more a builder/player, so that's the sets that I have been drawn to. I enjoy the look of the buildings (architecture?) but can't envision playing with them so I have not purchased any of them. I joined the forum for the fun of discussing LEGO with other adults/kids at heart.

Hi and welcome to the forum!  I too loved the Harry Potter sets  (and and a huge Harry Potter fan in general).  You'll find you're in good company here!
