 Better know a LUG Member! Tom C. Favorite theme: For general collecting I am a fan of Star Wars. All eras and all themes. For building I like the Modular Buildings, CITY, and anything that I can use to customize my personal Lego city. Last set Built: 76328 – ’66 Batmobile. I have always been a fan of the ’66 Batman series and that Batmobile in particular. Paired with the ’89 Keaton-mobile, this represents a good piece of my childhood’s superhero intake. Earliest LEGO Memory? I have had at least some LEGO for as long as I can remember. I started with DUPLO, initially playing with the people and trains as intended. Soon I was building “real” things out of these blocks – I explicitly remember building DUPLO Star Trek Phasers. My first system LEGO set was 6626 (Rescue Helicopter) released in 1981. Themed sets (Space, Castle, Pirates) followed, but I always had loose bricks available to free build. Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/builtmorbricks/ |
