2 years bithday hothbricks

As some of you may have noticed, Hoth Bricks turns two these days.

Two years that more and more of you, very young, young and old, have regularly come here to read, comment and share on the LEGO universe.

Two years during which I shared with you my favorites and my rants, without any objectivity and with all my bad faith.

Two years during which I also learned a lot, especially thanks to you, about the world of AFOLs and LEGO enthusiasts in general.

So, no question of stopping there, it started again. 2013 will be a big year for all of us LEGO fans, and I wouldn't want to miss it for the world.

And if you're planning to be around next year again, that's even better.

PS: Obviously, we are going to celebrate, but give me a little time to organize myself ...
