At what age do you stop playing with/building LEGO?

[Seedy_r0m]

Last year, LEGO famously changed their age recommendation to builders aged 4-99, to 100+ (thank you Sir David Attenborough).

As a child of the '60's, I've built shedloads of LEGO stuff as well as loads of LEGO sheds and have passed that same creativity on to my offspring via the numerous LEGO manifestations such as Duplo, Ninjago, Technic etc.

I recently found that LEGO have released a fan-inspired set relating to Bruce, Hooper, Quint, Brody & The Orca with an RRP of £130, which I'm sure most would agree are silly prices, but on trawling the bay, I was able to locate kits (#21350 - 1497 pieces) for 50% under retail price.

At my advanced years, should I be spending money on small plastic bricks, or investing in Werthers Originals?

Whatever you do...Leg Godt (play well!)

Im in the same boat, I have a large collection of lego, I started buying sets sometime ago, and just wanted to keep them, but my wife and kids nagged me to open the sets and allow them to build them. So I was forced into allowing it. I've got the majority of them in a fancy light up cabinet, but I do still have some sets unopened.

Built sets;

Ecto 1 - https://www.lego.com/en-gb/product/ghostbusters-ecto-1-10274

Jaws set - https://www.lego.com/en-gb/product/jaws-21350

We've loads of other sets too, but they're the kids sets All the above are mine.

So to answer your question, you're never too old to build lego, and enjoy yourself or your hobbies.

i believe I got my Lego for Christmas as a young 9 or 10 year old I was bored with it after a few months never picked a block up since, so the question when did I last play with lego it would be at least 66 ears ago ...
