Thoughts? Any other ways to improve the hobby image of LEGO?
When I'm looking for Lego's at garage sales a lot of the people will say they
aren't selling them because their kids are still playing with them. I answer
that I understand since I'm still playing with them at 48 years of age. They
usually smile and either ask me what I build or leave it at that. I've run into
a few people that seem to think it's childish but I take pride in still being in
touch with my inner child. If you show that you're are okay with playing with
Lego's as an adult most people will respect that. The ones that don't, have
probably never played with Lego and will never understand.
