How about:
Most of us have continued to build on the collections we had as children,
while others have only recently begun to collect Lego sets, either through
having lost/given away our original collection, or not having had the
opportunity to collect lego as children.

Others will spend considerable effort in the pursuit of individual/bulk
elements to complete an original set or a creation of our own design.
