Chloe Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Buy the sets you want, but also buy a small selection of random lego ( ebay full of it ) playing with the regular sets can get boring very quickly, the fun starts when you start changing the designs and letting your imagination take over.

LittleMattyMoo Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Lego is amazing. Just get a set and go with it. I love it when I get a new set. I sit on the floor, put my dummy in and just start building and I'm in another world Link to comment
LegoBoy Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 I have a lot of lego, mostly technical lego. When I was 6 years old, I started with technical lego, never stopped playing it. Link to comment
Demon-hunter Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 I loe legos, i need to get some, maybe some ninja turtle ones Link to comment
compfreak530 Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 I was given a lego set for Christmas this year, Halo tank. i never thought i would assemble it. one day i put on old school scooby doo on the tv dumped all the legos on the ground and it felt amazing to just play with them. before i realized it 5-6 hours had gone by. its one of those things that just made me regress to a time where i diddnt care about anything. have bought a few more sets and now its just normal. its cheap. just do it i say.

barnburner Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Heads up on a Lego set for all ages coming out this summer! Link to comment
dlsafrica Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Isaac Hanson said if he weren't a musician he would be a professional lego builder -- just saying -- random fact of the day; oh by the way - Happy Hanson Day. It's 20 years since a little orange CD changed lives, and Frank Keating, governor of Oklahoma pronounced 6 May 1997 as Hanson Day Link to comment
id0ntknow Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 I love Legos. I wish I had more to play with. Do they still sell the non licensed versions? I'd love to get a big thing of Legos with no one single purpose to the set. Just let me build whatever I want. Same with K'nex kits. They always seem to only sell licensed versions, or at least that's all I ever see in stores. Link to comment
Babychad1963 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 I'm 55 And I love my Legos if I had the room for just legos I would be in hog heaven Link to comment
Marcus Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Buy some. Why can't you? I love legos. Link to comment
ozziebee Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 I had the best fun at Christmas. All four kids got lego for Christmas from their respective parents and I. Christmas morning, I woke up in a wet nappy, we opened all the presents, and then for the next three or four hours, I sat at the table in my PJ's and an increasingly wet nappy building the lego for the kids. They didn't know I was wearing a nappy, of course. So we all had fun, building and playing with the sets. You don't necessarily need to buy Duplo to play with lego - buy the sets you want, and build and play and imagine. Get that kiddo spark back! Link to comment
Marcus Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 I loved playing with my toy cars when I was a kid and I remember when my mom packed all my toys up when I was 14. She gave them to one of he friends son. I remember crying that night my mom came in and found me crying and she hugged me and told me she understood because I was growing up and I was letting my childhood go. What she didn't know was I really wasn't ready to grow up yet. Link to comment
freddieshorts Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Like others say, just do it. It will come absolutely naturally. Honestly! Link to comment
AbabeBill Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 I know this is an old thread, but it seems to have sparked up abit, so... As for Lego’s, always have loved them! Still do, my wife and I, recently did 2 sets together, The Beatles, Yellow Submarine, and Scooby-Doo. Had a ball! I think, if you want to get down to a level of more childlike play, might be better off buying just the pieces, and not actual sets, or themes. Just imagine something, and then build from what you have. @ Marcus. I know what you are talking about. I never got over wanting to play with, especially my toy cars. I kept them well past childhood, and secretly played with them. I still have, lots of my Matchbox, and the like, that I played with so many years ago. My mom, was always trying to get rid of my childhood toys through the years. She would clean out my toy box, under my bed, closet, wherever, when I was in school. Then I would come home, see my stuff in the trash, and flip! Of course, I would immediately retrieve all the trashed items I could. She would yell, and say, but this is broken, so I threw it out! I never believed, or viewed something as being broken. A toy, always had other lives. I either fixed them, or would use them in something else. Or, in the case of a broken toy car, I would sometimes use them as parts, or smash them up to look like a real life wreck. I had a tow truck, so it needed something to tow away! Right? This was a constant, on going battle, between my mom, and I, through the years. She will still laugh, about trying to get things into the trash, without me noticing, in conversations to this day.

abdlexplorer Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Lego never stops being amazing to play with. I honestly don't even really go into little space with it the way I do other activities, because lego is just fun regardless of age! Link to comment
Wolf Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 Hello, I am what is called an AFOL (Adult Fan of Lego) and I'm 33 years of age. I am happy to say, that it is nowhere near weird or unusual for a grown up to want to play with Lego. Just be sure to clean up after yourself and you should be golden. Link to comment
Alex Bridges Posted October 4, 2019 Share Posted October 4, 2019 Last time I went to the mall to get a birthday gift for a niece, I went in the LEGO store and saw three grown men buying pieces in bulk. Clearly, they’re we’re watching buying themselves toys. I have some legos from my childhood and some more recently acquired. LEGO was my favorite toy in my pre-teen years. Link to comment
Bbuttons Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Lego make sets now clearly designed for adults! Some of their sets are 16+ (code word for adult I think ?) with prices to match. There are a few Star Wars models, such as the Death Star) which are $500+. Anyway, making Lego is super satisfying, but should always be done diapered!! Link to comment
pcbaby2011 Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 at 64 and very nearly 65 I'm still happily playing with lego nad have been since about 1960. I've never needed an excuse but I now have a perfect excuse, I've recently had to have joint surgery on my hands so all my finger joints are now fixed with plates, wires and screws and one of the senior physiotherapists told me the best way to maintain my finger mobility was to either do jigsaws or play with any sort of lego but not Duplo as the small parts would help my hands, how lucky is that? I usually play with Technics but my fiancee has a friend who is 43 who loves all the castle models and star wars stuff. 1 Link to comment
Chris_jr10 Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 How to play with lego? Unless you buy one of the themed kits, the first step is to engage with your imagination and think of something you would like to make and the get the bricks together with other bits and bobs putting them together in bit by bit on the board supplied. The Themekist have everything including instructions on which bit goes where. The next bit involves you making a story involving that item that you move about or alter as it develops so the idea in your head for the object having been mad ebecomes te thing you now have an adventure during play with. I play all the time with my lego. Link to comment
Ryan1967 Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Lego is my go to toy to play with when little - some modern sets - but most often building vintage sets from my youth, some my own from my childhood, some secondhand from eBay - luckily I can now afford the sets that I really wanted as a boy, but could not afford Link to comment
