| | Hey there!
Im Zach, 27 years of age,
If Im not busy touring or writing music, I like to spend my time and spare money on Lego
Star Wars! I have been a huge Star Wars fan since episode I was released when I was around 8 years old, and Ive been a very keen LSW collector since 1999 when the first sets were released.
I used to play with them every night after school with my best friend right up until we were 16! I then became abit embarrassed by it all and the lego was moved into the attic.
When I became 21 I started to work for the retail company Argos, very quickly I noticed all the new Lego Star Wars sets and started to think about all my sets in the attic. Weeks later I set up all 57 of my lego sets and soon realized there were alot of tiny parts missing and so i spent a few weeks going through the instruction manuals and finding out what parts were missing and then started my challenge of finding and buy these parts to make the set 100% complete.
Im very lucky that my father said to keep all the boxes and instruction manuals as they could be worth alot one day and sure enough they are! I still have every box and every instruction manual 15 years on.
Since 2012 when my interest in Lego Star Wars returned I have now tracked down about 100 or so parts and now only have 6 remaining until my set is 100% complete. Besides that i just have not been able to resist buying more new and old (hard to come buy sealed) sets and the set is now an impressive 76 individual all different sets and I believe a whopping total of 17248 parts! - Heavy update 131 set 51000+ peices (04.10.18 )
For my 23rd birthday my girlfriend took me to Legoland windsor for my first time and even though im technically an adult... I felt like i was 10 years old again at christmas! As you can imagine my girlfriend was confused and laughing at me becuase I took a massive 40 minutes in the Lego Star Wars shop to decide which 2 sets i wanted to buy haha!
Anyway thats me and my lego story in a nut shell,
Thank you for reading my brief story about myself and my beloved Lego Star Wars set
May the force be with you!
