Brick Toad is an amateur Lego designer that grew up on late 80 and early 90 themes like Castle, Blacktron, Blacktron 2, and M-Tron. I recently rediscovered my love for Lego after many decades and I am excited about the new creative tools like Bricklink Studio and Rebrickable.
Philosophically I like kits that have lots of play potential and are small and moduler. When making designs I try to use common elements in simple ways while keeping an eye on price of elements.
