I'd like to start a list of ideas and suggestions on how we might improve how
other adults view LEGO as a hobby.  Any ideas?

Something that I think would help is LEGO or LEGO branded items in the work
place.  Nothing cooky or over-done, but something that is detailed enough to
have people ask "Wow, is that really made of LEGO?"  I thought about making nice
looking book ends for my text books or a business card holder.

Of course, I'd also like to see some other things like a leather note pad with a
subtle LEGO logo and other items used or worn in the work place.

Thoughts?  Any other ways to improve the hobby image of LEGO?

Thanks,
Scott

Hmm, perhaps it's the people I associate with or just something about my age but
I don't usually seem to have this problem.  Most times when the subject of my
lego habits comes up the response is more in the "whoa sweet!" line, and maybe a
little envious.  :)
