I don't think falling in love with a series/theme is necessary for
AFOL-ism... when I was a Lego-loving kid I had *no* themed sets because the
very first sets-which-built-a-specific-model had only just started to
appear, and there must be other AFOL's over 40 like me. We were hooked by
the possibilities of the bricks, I think.
Whether kids nowadays could get hooked like that I don't know: a drawback of
sets as opposed to piece assortments is that they do channel creativity, and
with the decline of set quality in the stores and reduction of creativity
potential, many kids may never realise the potential of the brick.
