> "It's cheaper and safer than smoking/drinking/doing drugs"
That's similar to my answer except I leave out the "cheaper"
as LEGO is expensive in NZ.
My favourite trick is going up to a shop counter with a $NZ150
($US75) set and pointing to the cover and say I'm buying it for
me for this one part I need for my own creation :)
The other one is saying its for my collection of 600+ sets.
I'm well known in Hawkes Bay NZ for my obsession.
My car has "I (heart symbol) LEGO" personalised
plates and my work van has a double baseplate
glued Police or Castle display as a dash ornament.
They get a good reaction when following someone,
parked or going through fast food drive-throughs.
