Quality matters to me, not the ubiquity of branded product lines. For the
record -- I have never been to legoland, I don't have any lego watches, • nor
sportwear, nor pens.  I admit to having a few cd-roms, but I also admit to
thinking they are garbage.

Well, I admit to having 4 Lego watches and I think they are great and am
almost always wearing one. I love mixing and matching the coloured links,
faces, and so on. I have a couple of minifig keyrings too.

Now, I freely admit that I cannot connect the watch pieces with regular
Lego, and so some among you would say "it's not really Lego". But unlike my
Lego sets/MOCs, I can take a Lego watch and keyring with me wherever I go,
especially to work. I spend far more hours in a week with my Lego watch and
my Lego keyring than I do playing with the bricks. And those Lego watches
and keyrings are great conversation starters. Many people, both adults and
children, notice them and ask about them, which initiates many a
conversation about Lego and being an AFOL and LUGnet and S@H so forth.

So, no, I can't build MOCs with my Lego watch parts, but I do find them a
fun way to incorporate Lego into my general day-to-day life. Come on out of
the Lego closet! Get those Lego watches, keyrings, pen, coffee mugs, etc,
and show the world you are proud to be an AFOL!
