Lego as an adult

[Big Gates]

Dear Steam Community,
What do you think about buying and building Lego Sets as an adult?
Im personally a fan of Lego Star Wars.
Some adults buy Lego and sell it more expensive later.
Some people think its childish.
If you are into Lego, tell me whether you build it or whether you want to sell it later…
If I buy Lego then I open and build it. I know the value decreases if you open it, but I think it takes to much space in the original package.
I dont think its childish in both cases..
Please tell me your opinion.
Thank you in advance!

I divorced my wife in real life it was spending all my cash on shoes and hand bags and maxing out my credit card and it all ways talked back at me.
but been on my own over time was very lonely times
so i made a new wife out of this LEGO stuff your talking about
So yes its ok to play with lego as a adult and on the plus side
My new wife never says no any more :P

You're smart,
Real wife = debt, sadness, and depreciates rapidly.
Lego wife = happiness, beautiful, and appreciates over time.

More men need to be like you.

The only down side is the new lego wife cant cook out over the stove as she tends melt a little with the heat. :P

Do what you want as long as you're not hurting yourself or others.

why should you care what others think of what you do with yourself? if you enjoy playing with lego as an adult, then that's all that matters. go crazy and enjoy it.

Of all the hobbies in the world, this is a good one. Makes you think and keeps you busy andmost importantly, is harmless to others!

Modern LEGO sets are straight up lazy. Everything is pre-made for you now.

ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) is the type of material we use to make the classic LEGO brick as well as LEGO DUPLO® bricks. ABS is a hard plastic, it’s very scratch-resistant and is optimal for achieving the perfect clutch power! It’s a great material for a brick that needs to endure decades of play and be passed down from generation to generation.

Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) is a common thermoplastic polymer. Its glass transition temperature is approximately 105 °C (221 °F). ABS is amorphous and therefore has no true melting point.

They sell Lego for adults. They have a line specifically for adults.

Adult lego's anywhere from 500 to 5000 dollars. Kid lego's 10 to 15 dollars.

Waking up in the middle of the night to got to the bathroom and get an instant wakeup call from stepping on a lego priceless.

[Phénomènes Mystiques]

The answer is yes.

I remember once seeing a competition on TV where adults were building stuff with lego

Sometimes they were required to do something specific, sometimes they had to be creative

Was nice v:

I personally still have my lego somewhere but I barely use it these days becuase well, anime, videogames, TV, drawing, working etc etc stuff I do...

[Sharkster_00]

I still buy them depending on which one it is. I recently bought the last 3 sets I was missing for mandalorian I didn’t by the collector one cause $900 is to expensive. Was able to at least get the set celebrating the Batman animated series which is what I wanted since I grew up with watching that series, Batman beyond, the justice league cartoons, and the arkarm games still wished I got to meet Kevin Conroy before he passed since he is still one of the best voices to me to ever lived.

It's childish but you do what you love.
I simply don't care when people call my hobby disgusting.

[Stranger]

I don't see how else to afford them.

Too bad it's also taken over by microsoft.

ehhh... just go with the LEGOs.
