Shen Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 New to BP but not Lego. As a kid I grew up with the old school space ships and what not (not like what they have today). I ended up with a decent collection by the time I shipped out to bootcamp but while I was gone my Grandmother passed my collection on to my younger cousins. By the time I found out it was too late, so I moved on. Well fast forward a few decades, I have a son who has taken an affinity for Lego as well . While researching I came across BP and while I don't usually join forums, or communities, I couldn't help but notice how nice everyone is to each-other - you know, compared to the rest of the Internet - so I couldn't help but join and say hello. Looking to do some investing (I don't mind sitting on a set for a year or two and I have an attic ) and obviously collecting. So, were the December Lego sales normal for that time of year? To me it seemed like there were 30% - 40% off deals to be had everywhere, and I got to learn the UPS guy's first name. LOL 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponderingzissou Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Welcome! Like you it was buying for my son that pulled me back into LEGO. Castle was my favorite (second to classic Space back then). Joining BP was a great move if you want to save money (or spend far more than you intended buying more than you intended ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the Avenger Super Heroes for us, in fact we're about to assemble 76057 as our afternoon project. And I'd have to agree with you on both parts thus far.
