Considering I didn't start my life as the being of which you see before you, I thought I give you some background information on myself and how I came a pond collecting Lego sets. Notably as an infant, I have very few memories to look back on to confirm if I had been introduced to Lego back then.

But it seem that I may of had a building block thing as child from how I can remember vaguely having a large block with studs on it, which may have been a Mega Block product. Another memory of which I can remember was back in the Kindergarten center, where I also vaguely remember enjoying building with wooden blocks during free time in the class; which actually may be the only thing of which I can remember from my time at the Kindergarten center.

At I search my memories at this moment, I can only think of one time that could have been my first introduce to Lego and this was at the Dentist's waiting room. Yes, I am sure this may come as a surprise to some that had been to a Dentist's office like one of which I go to. But considering that this is a Dentist for children, it should be expected that they would need some form of entertainment to keep the child occupied as they wait to be call to the back room.

As such, two areas within the waiting room were meant to keep children occupied as they waited, which were old Arcade games and a table with Lego of which were design to be big, so not one would try to swallow them. Considering I was five years old during my first visit to the Dentist, I was too short to have try to play the Video games, so I had play with Lego as I waited to be called.

But even this event didn't mark the beginning of me being a Lego Fan for in a sense all it shown was that I enjoy building things really. And I have no memory of rushing to get Lego at five years old. It been the Christmas of 2001 that I believe I truly was pulled into the Lego world. For the under the Christmas tree had been two Toa Olda with their respectable Turaga. I have no idea if I had asked for them, but I confirm that wasn't disappointed in see them under tree as far as I can remember.

Notably though both sets didn't belong to me, my brother had gotten one of the Toa and Turaga. And in some irony twist, I had to build both of our sets for brother didn't understand the directions as I did and notice how fast, I had build my two sets. The sets of which we gotten had been Toa Pohatu, Toa Kopaka, Turaga Nuju, and Turaga Onewa in case, you were wondering. I had gotten Toa Pohatu and Turaga Onewa as my first Bionicle sets, not counting the McDonald's Happy Meal ones that I may have gone before that time for I have a few of them.

At this time period, I had been within the age limit that Lego had target at for Bionicle as I had been nine years at the time. In some sense, it hard to believe that I had struck to it for so long, but I did. I will admit that at the time, I didn't go into too much dept of Bionicle for my interest in Star Wars had made me buy quite a few sets with the little money of which I had.

After a few trips to Lego.com and even joining it, I had discover there was a story behind Bionicle series, which spark my interest in learning about it as well growing roots of interest in Lego products with stories like Johnny Thunder and the Alpha Team. Sometime later and possibly before September 2002, I had order Lego Magazine from one of the subscriptions within the instruction book of a set, which would marked the beginning of me getting the magazines.

Problems, of course, occurred by how there was many sets of which I wish to buy from each of the series that I shown interest in it (Bionicle, Johnny Thunder, Alpha Team, and Stars War.). So, I had many times tried to split evenly with what sets to get. But with lucky though, I was able to form a deal with my brother of sort to help me buy sets of which we would shared.

This deal was not only for regular Lego sets, but Bionicle sets too with my brother getting all the blue, green, and white, while I would get the red, brown, and black. Notably this deal, I believe may of been form near the end of 2002 for my brother and I had collect all the Toa Nuva through this deal and try to do so too with the Bohrok and Bohrok Kal.

As Bohrok Kal era started, I believe this is the period of where I realize the storyline had books for it that went into move detail than the comics with that I went off to a local Borders and began buying the books. This, of course, hurt buying the Bohrok and Bohrok Kal to collect our collection, but I could not denied my brain craved for knowledge.

My brother didn't seem to mind much though and that was most likely because he found fun in doing battles with Toa and Bohrok trying to beat each other to removing their masks/Krana. I can remember that neighborhood friend of our had show him that if you flip the Bohrok's teeth around it made it easier to put the mask off the Toa. This friend had also help me designed an interesting sword design that I still have today, which is commonly known as Sword of Death to reading of my stories.

As well this friend's younger brother, who was older than me by a few years, had also been a Bionicle fan and had many sets of which I didn't own at the time till he give me them, when the big moved from my hometown arise by my father dislike of how the place was becoming bad from influence of a bad area. Notably this friend of mines had give me them, since we mixed our pieces together to build something out of them not realizing we wouldn't be able to tell who was who late on.

As late 2003 came, my brother's interest in Bionicle began to die. The sets of which came out then were mostly brought by me, but he did get a few Rahkshi though. From another friend of our, who happen to be my brother's best friend since Kindergarten, we would watch Bionicle: Mask of Light movie together by a DVD; he was given by a former Bionicle fan, who was a friend of his. I personally as I watch the movie grew even more interest in the series than ever before.

At the start of 2004, my brother's interest of Bionicle began to disappear completely almost with most of his free time being center around Runescrape. I on the other hand continue my interest and began reading all the books to catch up to the people that had follow storyline since the beginning as well as get the second Bionicle movie for Christmas.

I would at some point in time find Bzpower, although I have no idea if this happen before this event. But I know it back when Lego.com had linked to the site was when I found it and even try to join, but failed by my e-mail accounts not getting the messages from Bzpower.

As 2005 came, I would begin to pack my Lego away for the big moved during the summer. And I believe my brother's interest of Bionicle had at this time ended completely, although he still wish me to keep his Bionicle together and just let them sit on display really. I would also help pack other things include my brother's Lego through I don't think I need to go into detail, since this is suppose to be about how I became a Lego Fan.

As the summer arrived, my family moved from old neighborhood into a new one, where we would get Vezion internet for the two computers, we own at the time. This would be where I try to join Bzpower and eventually success in joining by help of my sister, who also joins to keep an eye on me. And the rest is history then, since I am still here and buying sets/reading the story, so no point of going into more details; unless you all want me to.
