I'm in my teen years too. I'm only 13 though, and nobody cares if I still buy
the ages 7-12. I do not shop for Technic, but I believe that these sets have a
minimum suggested age and a plus sign, 8+ instead on 8-12 for example. They
should be humiliation-free. I believe some Star Wars sets may alos say this,
but I'm not sure of that either. Ultimate Collectors Series LEGO is aimed
at ages 14+, but is pricey and does not have a great selection right now. But
if you're a diehard System fan like me, there are two options-
1. Find a diffent place to shop! There are lots of big department stores, toy
stores and for some reason the occasional hardware store that sell LEGO. If
you don't like TRU, don't shop there.
2. Shop at Home! You can get good exclusive sets and nobody sees you! Shipping
and handling is not that bad if you buy a lot at once, I have heard.

| Well, I'm in my teen years. Voice has gone down, growth spurts, acne (luckily I have been spared from that), the usual change. But then there is one thing that has REALLY changed. Buying Lego. I now find it very embarrassing to go to TRU and shop (...) (25 years ago, 13-Jul-00, to lugnet.general)
