My sets

I’ve had LEGO bricks for as long as I can remember – firefighters, knights and pirates rattled mixed up in the top drawer of the dresser. Building houses and vehicles stimulated the imagination and taught creative problem solving. If I did not have the perfect brick – I had to figure out how to use others to achieve the same effect.

The assembly of the first LEGO Technic set with steered wheels and a piston engine directed my interest towards technology. Differentials, pneumatics, electric motors – that’s what interested me. Currently, I professionally deal with similar issues and I can see that the fascination began with blocks.

I often spent the collected pocket money on blocks. I remember my excitement when I was buying a bigger set. Imagination raged and my own constructions became more and more complex. Then there were a few sets of Slizers, Bionicle,… and a longer break to relocate. I used to come back to building blocks during the summer holidays, trying to come up with something new every time.

LEGO came back when I was able to spend the money I had earned on my own. Currently, from time to time I will buy or wish myself a set to put on my desk. Unfortunately, I can spend less time assembling blocks – so most often I leave the original models that look very good.

Until it happened that in the brick shop, instead of the Millennium Falcon and the Death Star, I started to look at the large colorful men from Duplo sets. Of course not for myself. As a toy, they turned out to be perfect – we learned colors, numbers, played family scenes, built car washes and parking lots. Then I watched with joy as the first structures were created without my help.

I hesitated for a long time until I finally put a dot over and – I bought a Bugatti Chiron model. Something beautiful: independent suspension, four-wheel drive, gearbox – just a pleasure to assemble and admire. I consider this set to be the end of my journey with LEGO – the model has everything I wanted as a beginner builder. I can pass this passion on.

The long-awaited times have already come for me when I can buy ordinary bricks not for myself. And the best thing about LEGO is that it all fits together and we can put a Disney princess in my first spaceship to go on her own journey.
