El Brick, or Luke (El = L geddit? no... ok) fell in love with LEGO as a child, and one of his fondest memories was getting a new LEGO (and later Technic) set for Christmas each year. Losing touch with LEGO for a few years, he returned when LEGO Ideas captured his imagination. Combining his love of LEGO and websites, he decided to create this here LEGO website, and hopes you enjoy it 🙂
