| | Bruno GILARD, 62 years old in 2022 (born in 1960), from Brioude, Auvergne, FRANCE.
AFOL only since August 2016.
I "fell in love" with an advertisement for the big #42055 Excavator, seen on Facebook, even if the first set I bought was the #10252 VW Beetle (Creator).
But, in my childhood, late 60s / early 70s, I have played a lot with LEGO trains (blue tracks) or trucks (with the front axle steerable by a 1x2 brick marked Lego, above the cab).
I don't remember my first set... :-)
After my return to the small bricks, at the beginning of 2017, I had about 70 sets, 80% of Technic, the remaining 20% being Creator Expert (vehicles, planes, modulars) and Architecture.
At the end of March 2017, I had 194 sets.
In January 2020, almost 1160 sets, more than 900 different.
In October 2020, 1332 sets, 1023 different.
In February 2021, 1520 sets, 1150 different.
In August 2021, 1700 sets, 1280 different, plus also 50 MOCs.
In January 2022, 1800 sets, 1350 different, plus more than 60 MOCs...
Today, in August 2022, almost 1970 sets, 1430 different, plus 75 MOCs and Alt Builds.
It's a real addiction !
Who will need a move because my current home is more than full...
I mainly collect Technic, and I have more than 580 now.
But I'm also interested by almost all themes : Star Wars, Racers, Creator, City, Castle, Architecture, Speed Champions, Advanced Models, Pirates...
I especially like old Technic sets : for the 40th anniversary of the range (2017), I wanted to buy and redo all the different 1977 models.
I also started to build MOCs and Alt Builds of other AFOLs. I particularly admire the talent and imagination that it takes to offer such great Alt Builds, from limited inventories !
I try to have systematically box and instructions in good condition, for each of my sets. And I have recently been focusing on old sets in new condition only.
I use exclusively the 3 essential websites : Brickset, Bricklink and Rebrickable. | | This page has been viewed 541 times. |
