Better Know a LUG Member!

This months featured LUG Member is Ransom!

Tell us about your favorite LEGO theme: My favorite theme is a tie between Star Wars and Marvel. Both are tied to franchises I’ve grown up with, and so both have a close place in my heart, with an absolute favorite between the two changing week-to-week. What is the last LEGO set you built? What did you like about it? What made you buy it? The last set I built was Minecraft set 21115: The First Night. The set has a heavy sentimental value to me, getting it the summer after its release while visiting my Granny, and I specifically recall her being shocked with how quickly I built the model. Between then and now I lost my first copy of the set, but upon finding it for a good price, I decided to buy it and have a lovely trip down memory lane.

What is the earliest LEGO memory in your life? One of my earliest LEGO memories would be in 2011 at the age of 6, being gifted Ninjago set 2258: Ninja Ambush for my birthday, and my parents telling me it was the closest thing they could get to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles toys.
