Quote HistoryQuoted: I know a 30 year old and his 65 year old dad who buy legos and put them together. I think it’s weird. Plus the sets cost $100s of bucks. I don’t partake myself but some of those lego kits are very involved, and pretty cool overall. Good engineering learning kits IMO. Worse shit you can do with your money. |

i buy a lot of stuff i like for the kids though because i like to spend time with them. the little one likes gauntlet right now so she'll voluntarily sit with me and play a game just about whenever i want the older one doesn't like arcade games at all so i just bought her a couple of snap circuits electrical project thingies. she had liked one a friend of hers had so i went on ebay and bought her the huge set they use in schools to teach with. i don't know shit about electricity so maybe we'll both learn something |

I think that's the point though, adults are going out there and buying stuff that may be fond to them. So the kids playing with whatever the heck is popular today might in a few decades really want to buy a reproduction of that toy much like you want that carrier. |

Lego Ideas are marketed towards grown ups. I love building the details. I will take them off the display shelf and play with my kids with them, but they don't get to demolish them.
I spent 3 hours building the AT-AT play set with my son, who promptly demolished it the next day while I was at work. I could happily spend a weekend just building Lego. Zero stress and the kids can have fun with it after I have displayed it for an appropriate period of time. |

I'm nearing the end of my 62nd year, and If I ever outgrow the desire to buy/play with fun stuff then I think it'll be time to pack it in. Whether it be the subcompact tractor and various attachments I talked myself into buying for the 2.5 acre property we moved to a couple years ago (when a riding lawn mower would have worked), my safe full of guns...or this ridiculously fun (and expensive) little gizmo the wife gave me for this past Christmas...they're all toys of one sort of another.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Lego made massive profits by realizing adults who wanted to buy the sets they didn't get as a kid were a prime market. This same phenomenon is why classic cars are so popular, and why the genre of "hot" cars tends to shift as demographics move along the timeline. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: The picture shows Legos, which I would give a pass to. It's more akin to model building than playing with toys. Those new car sets they have are pretty awesome. If you think a lot of their sets aren't marketed towards adults, you would be mistaken. How many kids can afford a $300-$800 set? They are gonna buy one.
