Funny thing happened this past weekend when someone called me an AFOL. It
took me back for a second and I actually felt a bit offended. I wasn’t sure
why till I though about it some. I don’t consider myself a “Fan of LEGO”,
but more a “Fan of Building”; it just happens that I have found LEGO bricks
to be the best product to build with. I don’t collect LEGO sets; I buy LEGO
parts for my projects.
I didn’t start buying LEGO products just because I wanted the sets or the
parts, but I wanted them so that I could build things and make my ideas come
to life. I will admit that I have fond memories from my childhood of
building with my LEGO sets, but there again I don’t think it’s the sets I
enjoyed so much as building and playing.
Maybe we need another acronym, Fan of Building (FOB), or just Building
Enthusiast (BE)…I don’t know, but I don’t consider myself an AFOL, just a
fan of building and being creative.
