    Such a lovable person, he's my "hero", sort to say. I was a hardcore Bionicle fan in the early 2000s then I recieved Building Bonanza and I was shocked by the whole package. That set then made me fall in love with Café Corner back in 2007, which then got me into modular buildings. Finally, once I got a bit older, Tower Bridge came around and I knew I had to buy that one as well (I also got Big Ben, of course).
    It's safe to say that, if it hadn't been for Jamie, I'd have never got all these awesome system sets and just kept being more of a technic/constraction guy

    • @cocoa7053
      @cocoa7053 5 років тому

      Made the right decision. Bionicle started getting pretty bland in 2008, went back up in quality in 2009, only to end in 2010. The second generation had some great sets, but again, ended in 2 years.

    • @Nailfut
      @Nailfut 5 років тому +1

      @@cocoa7053 That didn't mean I stopped buying Bionicle sets as well, those were and still are evergreen to me! I even bought all the g2 sets and, despite some bad aspects, I enjoyed most of those builds. Also, just to tell you how Bionicle is important to me, I'm still making mocs, actually I did one two weeks ago, right after the exam session ended :D
      I love all those modulars and other sets I mentioned before, but Bionicle is my favourite line period

    By far my favorite designer. Has always been an inspiration to me. Fun fact, I sent a letter to Enfield, CT in search of Jamie, and I actually got a response from someone working at the offices. They said they were unable to hand it over to him, but I think soon I'll try again, and we'll see - hopefully I can reach him this time :)
