Yup. A maintenance guy asked me yesterday if I had any of the new SW
Lego stuff. (He previously left me a note and asked if I worked for
Lego <g>) I said yes, that it was pretty cool. He said, "Yeah, I
haven't had any Legos since I was a kid, but I just had to get those
becase they were so cool. I had forgotten how much fun it was to put
them together."
Maybe another AFOL coming out of his dark ages?
