| Hello there,
My real name is Erik and I'm a 50+ years old fan of LEGO® (AFOL) from the Netherlands.
I made up my username 'Bengh Zeran' almost a quarter century ago, inspired by my favorite LEGO® themes, Space and Star Wars.
My first experience with LEGO -as I remember it- began at the age of 4, but my true fascination with the wonderful plastic bricks began at the age of 7 when the LEGOLAND Space sets appeared in our country for the first time, back in 1979. Since then I've grown to become a true LEGO addict, probably for the rest of my life!
My journey into online buying LEGO here at BrickLink started almost 25 years ago -when BrickLink was actually called Brickbay before it had to change its name- and a few years later I opened a small store here to occasionally sell some of my LEGO sets and parts, only to re-invest it in other LEGO projects.
I cherish my LEGO collection which I have proudly build up over the past 4 decades and I could never really sell all of it. But life constantly changes and with the choices one makes come the consequences. I have come to grips (they had to drag me to it actually) and I must admit I have too many LEGO sets and parts which take up too much space! I have build up so much backlog that I probably don't have the time -nor space- left to be able to build every set I currently own... Well, since I won't stop collecting LEGO untill the day I die or The LEGO Company ceases to exist, I have decided to sell surplus parts and part of my collection from time to time.
The good thing about selling part of my LEGO collection is selling it here, through BrickLink, because I know well from personal experience that BrickLink is still the best place to find my LEGO a new home; where people appreciate the quality, the value & the service and where people care for and about LEGO just as much as I do!
Other LEGO® websites I like to visit (and/or used to visit) are (and/or were)
Brickset,
Peeron,
FBTB (From Bricks to Bothans),
Eurobricks,
Different Lego fan pages and LEGO blogs and last but not least
the official LEGO website (link to the Dutch version of lego.com).
Besides that I'm also a long time registered member of
Brickset (my profile),
Rebrickable (active pro plan user in 2025),
Lowlug (inactive member; great community but I can't find the time anymore) and
Lugnet (the original starting point of the worldwide online LEGO fan community, where I truly discovered -almost 3 decades ago- I definitely am not the only adult fan of LEGO! )
Thanks for reading and have fun with your LEGO® bricks, sets, Minifigures and any or all other LEGO related projects!
