Fortunately I've been blessed with the ability to revert back to a 10 year old while building with Lego and while watching the new Star Wars movies (yes, I love JarJar!) Something I think that people need to realize is that Lego is meant for CHILDREN... its great that adults love to use it... just bear in mind that when Lego is making their product they are more worried about what a 10 year old thinks then what a 40 year old would think about it... Besides, in my opinion I think Lego has done a pretty good job of giving older builders some of what they like as well... I point to the Imperial Star Destroyer set for proof of this, not to mention all the bulk bricks available...

Thanx to everyone who replied! I'm glad to hear from those on both sides of the
fence... After making my post I started thinking more about what Lugnet is for,
and voicing likes and dislikes is amongst them... so I hope I didn't rub anyone
the wrong way... I guess I'm just afraid that if Lego sees too much of what we
dislike that they'll just ignore the older fan too...
And yes, I actually did like JarJar! :-)
Sincerely,

| I visit Lugnet every day to see what people are saying about my favorite hobby, and it seems to me that just about every other post is a gripe about Lego... whether it be about the new colours or the new sets...
