I am much like you Ari in that I'm 30 and have the caught the bug also. I've
purchased many advanced Technic sets in the past few months
(8000,8001,8002,8417,8428,8444,8445,8448,8462,8480,DDK & RIS). I have enjoyed
them very much as well.
I've found that while Lego can be very fun and challenging it can be addictive
and too much is draining both physically and mentally. Too much hurts my
fingers. Man were they sore after I spent 4+ hours building the Destroyer
Droid (8002)!
These advanced sets also require intense focus and concentration to build. I
recommend taking your time with these sets and only play an hour a day.
It's tempting to want to build these things in one or two sittings but not as
rewarding than if you take your time.
