My journey with lego started at 1 year old (primo), later i moved on to duplo. At the age of 4 or 5 I inherited my mom's (regural system) lego collection, which consisted of many sets from the 80s. Me being a kid predictably led to being given lego sets for birthdays and christmases by my family. Watching large sorted collection tours of lego collectors on Youtube (mainly Jangbricks's collection) made me want to sort my small humble collection too (which was at that point sorted into 5 colour categories + 1 for the 'special' pieces). To fulfill my dream of having my collection sorted, I used many shoeboxes, hand-made cardboard containers, screw organizers and anything I could find around the house. This resulted in a mess of lego parts sorted in many different ways in containers and organizers of many different sizes.
This way, I slowly became more of a collector/enthusiast than a casual set-builder. My interest in lego and expanding + sorting my collection persists to this day.
Instead of collecting sets or minifigures, I was always more interested in special and rare colours of pieces and individual parts.
As somebody who doesn't have a lot of money to spend on lego, and since I'm more interested in older parts rather than the new ones, I prefer to buy used collections from other people.
