I have been getting something like this more and more. After I tell people
the Lego is for me I get a response along the lines of, "I wish I could play
with Lego! I'd feel funny though." I always tell them not to worry about it,
and buy some if they want to.
There's a lot of people older (read - not children) out there that would just
LOVE to be able to play with toys. It's a time of my life (being able to play
all day long) that I really miss, and I took for granted. Being able to
recapture some of that, even if it's for a half hour here, an hour there,
makes me truly happy. People are in WAY to much of a hurry to "grow up".
Don't be. You will miss those days soon enough.
-from a guy who went into his dark ages right when castle Lego was really
smokin', and now kicks himself everyday because he can't put together a
respectable armored heavy cavalry!!!

Did you ever wish you had a few hundreds, went into a time (...) (25 years ago, 14-Jul-00, to lugnet.general)
