At my last job interview I mentioned it, and I'm working here now so it couldn't
have been *too* bad!
The person I was talking to just asked what I like to do when I'm not being a
computer programmer, I mentioned that I was part of a model train club that
builds their layout out of Lego - then I showed him the Lego watch I was
wearing. (I think I lost that watch recently, and I'm bummed about it...)
I also mentioned that I had worked part-time at the Lego Imagination Center for
almost seven years, and I think that job gave me the experience to be very
comfortable in talking to people.
And now I have my Challenger:

here on my bookshelf above my desk - but I've only got room for three cars.
I've already asked for a larger desk to display the other four cars. :-)
And my boss wants to know the next time we're setting up the layout, because he
wants to see it in person!
