SweetLogan: Just joined from South MS

SweetLogan

So, I recently rediscovered lego (via recent sales at Walmart) and through the joys of google I found Brickset. I've read over the posts listed here a little over the last few days and decided I might as well join.

I'm not a hardcore collector. I'm really just looking to pick up what legos I can, where I can. Mostly, I am taking advantage of sales/garage sales/thrift store purchases and hanging on to them for my (one day) children to enjoy. I've made some pretty awesome finds including 2 bucks for most of a 7036 set.

I enjoy most of the different sets, though I find a particular attraction to the City Life ones. I think it is a great twist on the standard police/firefighter dream kids have, to build and make your own scenarios. I generally don't keep sets together. It is a mixture of losing instructions/pieces over the years and desire to make new things. Legos are just puzzles that can make different pictures, why not take advantage of that? Of course, that being said, I have had a helicopter (Not sure of the number/set but it is the black/yellow like the res-q/rescue sets) assembled and sitting in my room since .. well.. as long as I can remember.

Well, enough of that. If you'd like to chat, here I am.

What part of southern MS? We talking Woodville/Centerville or Gulfport/Kiln/Biloxi southern? :) I am originally from Louisiana and lived in Centerville for a bit. Visited Biloxi quite often. Miss it! Stationed in Tacoma, WA at moment and my husband is stationed in DC. I am converting him into a Southerner lol. Welcome!!!

Biloxi/OS region. I was raised by a Northern mother, so I'm not too Southern myself. Just enough that everyone in the South thinks I'm not Southern and everyone in the North thinks I talk oddly. Thanks for the welcome!
