Read MoreIt's not easy to write about pain… But I feel it is important to explore an aspect of the LEGO passion that many don't think about. In a series of articles, I will try to tell you about my personal journey expressed through LEGO and explore several topics related to my experiences as an AFOL. … For me, deep down, LEGO is the one thing that feels safe and uncomplicated in a complicated life.

Click through for your first peek at this amazing new model.

The fine humans at TBB were some of the first friends I made when I jumped into the AFOL scene back in 2009. They showed me just how awesome the people of this community are and made me feel very welcome. I look forward to seeing them every year at BrickCon and I've been visiting their website at least once a day for years. Today they celebrate their 9th birthday, let's all sing along....
It has been eight years since the first post on TBB, and what an eventful eight years it has been. TBB was one of the first websites I found when I was discovering that I wasn't the only adult playing with LEGO ("adult" used here as a measurement of time, not maturity). They've been a source of inspiration and information for years and they're nothing less than awesome. Happy B-Day TBB!
