I need this hobby back in my life.

I’m in my mid 40’s and I still play build lego sets. I’ve been collecting lego sets since the 70’s. My first lego set was in 1976 and to this day I still have it. In fact I have all my lego sets from when I was a kid growing up. I don’t collect all of them. Just the ones that interest me only. Nowadays I have maybe about 3000 lego sets. I enjoy building them on my days off from work. I mostly love the trains, houses and building sets. After the sets are build I place the instruction manuals into those magazine cover bags and store them away into my closet. Even the lego boxes are flattened and stored into my closet in over sized plastic bags. Throughout the years lego became a huge hobby of mine. Even the video games I enjoy playing.

i need to play more often i get too depressed and stressed with work

Someone : Lego is just for kids Me : You poor unfortunate soul in pain, in need.

I have had a weird urge to play with legos for the past few weeks. I say weird because I’m literally feeling annoyed that I don’t have any legos. I feel like a child

I love all these reasons! I feel sorry for adults who don't see the joy in playing with toys. I have lots of fun making stuff with my little niece too with her big old mega blocks. My favorite thing about Lego is all the cool little minifig characters. I've always dreamed of having a house with a Lego room - maybe someday!

I have PTSD as a result of medical trauma involving a heart transplant and being one of the first children ever to have an internal defibrillator. Lego is the best therapy I have every come across. It calms and focuses me. I just wish my parents were more open to the idea of adults playing with Lego. My mom in particular hates them, and reminds me how childish it is.

Great points Mike! Adults really should play with toys more often, but Lego is for sure a great one. This is also really good for people like Mommy who have problems with maintaining fine motor skills!!

What I love most about LEGO are the almost infinite number of possibilities. You can give folks the same bricks and each person will create something different! Did you know that 6 2x4 bricks can make over 19 million combinations? To me that is amazing!

I played Lego with my nephew and niece and we had a such fun quality time together building a house with a swimming pool.....me and my nephew even went on VR Coaster ride at Legoland and my nephew really had a blast as if we were on the racetrack(VR)....

LEGO is definitely therapeutic. Just helps you relax and feel at ease

Why can’t adults play with toys? Who says you can’t? Great points!

I'm 41 and I purchased the awesome Buggati Chiron and Dom's Charger. I recently put the 1992 Claw truck together, and it was a challenging build. I also have the 1995 Supercar, 1994 Hot Rod, 1981 tractor, 1988 Prop Plane, vintage Go Kart, 1989 JCB, and a small Technic dump truck. The way I look at it, is the more complex and time consuming, the better.

At 22 years old and still love the joy of Lego since my first one was the famous Batman set that sparks me up. Couldn’t done without your good reasons. Thank u

I need to get back into playing with legos. I had some as a kid but it was the duplo ones which I played up until I was 7. Now I'm 22. I feel like playing with legos will stimulate my brain and help me get better grades in my classes

I enjoy admiring the sets after you do all of the work building them ;)

My mom is 64 and retired. We build Lego sets together once a week to keep her mind active and she loves it. Great exercise to keep geometry and architecture use skills sharp!

Man , I so agree with u. 100% Omg. Great zone time.

I love LEGO because it opens your imagination. I like how it is not limited to just one particular theme. It is so artistic and creative!

My favorite thing is being “in the zone”, and also connecting with my nieces.

Hi mike, recently out of nowhere i wanted to play with lego after i saw my older brother built it. I totally agree with you. Lego takes u into their own world. I can play with it for a day.

Nothing beats being an adult hobbyist of LEGO! I'm curious to hear how other adults engage with the hobby!

I enjoy the technics. It's more challenging. On the other hand it's a quick and easy tool to build prototypes instead of a long expensive process of 3D printing.

So true, Lego is the best toy ever made. My favourite thing about Lego is the tactile way it click together, the slight sound it make you know kinda like stretching plastic when you are disconnecting it and securing it in place..... it gives me a strange sense of peace ✌️

Ever since I was a kid, I loved lego because of how customizable it is. Lego has sets and figures of Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, knights, ninjas, pirates, Batman, etc. Even if they don't officially have products you want, you can create them with bricks. There's a service that lets you custom paint figures with any design you want. It looks great for stop-motion animated movies. Most toy companies don't have that level of flexibility. You might have to design your own sets and props from scratch.

I love ur vid.. i couldnt tell it better :D.. u nailed it ^^

As a single adult, i REstarted with lego last year. Bought the imperial storm trooper pack and ended up buying more and more. hehe i love lego :)

Couldn't help it, just ordered the Technic CAT D11 lol

Nice vid bro 👍 My favorite thing about Lego's is the ability to create something spectacular! If your stressed or depressed go out get yourself a box of legos that tickles your fancy, and trust me the next day you'll be feelin right as rain 😉 It's good for your brain and your soul

Did you see that Voltron set? OMG! That is a MUST BUY. Seriously. You know that was made as a love letter to Voltron fans of old. It's discontinued now and prices are starting to shoot up, so chop chop! Don't miss out! Oh yeah, I'd like to add that I too, am in my 40's. I don't have much for Lego stuff really. I did however pick up that Dodge Challenger Demon/Charger set. It's fantastic and being a fan of the Challenger and Charger, I had to get it. Voltron is up next. With that, I find that assembling Lego bricks is therapeutic, especially in the end with the finished product.

I love it!!!!

I love lego especially DC comics sets going to do animation with Legos yes I'm so stoked about it

I love technic

I play with Legos but only Star Wars

I love legos even to this day and I am almost 31

may I just at this the craziest sane thang I've ever herd

I'm 32 and have the love of the lego

I'm nearly 50 and use Lego for town planning etc and do all kinds of projects, nothing to do with work, I just always loved it and have a passion for demolition and redevelopment or whatever. I also love the collecting of it along with just sorting the pieces and colours. I have that much that sometimes I can feel stressed trying to sort and find places for it around the home. If I'm weird, then I quite enjoy being weird. It's a shame we have to always justify ourselves because some don't like what we like. I could say workers in a car factory are playing with nuts bolts and washers all day long so they should stop, close all the factories and have no transport in the world, no ship or boats, cars or trucks. We could close down the whole planet if we listen to the ignorant. Lego is no different to anything else and is brilliant stuff!. My favourite thing about Lego are the lovely colours along with the noise and that clutching power and the fact that it is only limited by your own imagination. Thanks for the video.

i love too build lego

I love lego

honestly our society feels pretty arbitrary sometimes - if a kid loves photography and continues that as either a hobby or a career in adulthood (nobody judges) - if a kid loves drawing and continues that into adulthood (nobody judges) - but if a kid loves building stuff with legos and continues that into adulthood (all of a sudden failure to grow up) what gives? - if I say I love Pizza or Chocolate (no judgement) - if I say I love Lucky Charms (all of a sudden judgement) - if I say I love Star Wars or Marvel (no judgement) - if I say I love Power Rangers (total judgement)

thing is its fun to construct, but when you are finished as a kid u play with it like with all your toys, but as adult ... well... dnd unless ?, nostalgic item collection ? i mean i dont see many reasons of positive when u finish constructing something

I agree with all of your reasons for adults using lego, but its really way too simple. Adults should have a more difficult hobby for the reasons you listed, such as caligraphy or engraving. Lego by itself is far too simple. I want to be clear that im not making fun of lego or people who use it, but if you benefit in any way from using lego, try something harder, you will find it far more rewarding in the same ways. My issue is that there is really no room for progression with lego, its follow instructions and goof proof, caligraphy will have challenges that require practice and cumulative skills that build upon eachother. I like what you are saying here, but not for adults.

I still buy new Legos. I have other toys but only toys that i grew up with not new toys. Thatd justvbe wierd imo..

e

And about me hating Legos JK haha gotcha like the show just kidding gaudy it's just a prank bro dying memes Worldstar

1st

"Play" with Lego? That sounds creepy man. Imagine a fully grown man holding Lego jet planes, whirling them around shrieking at the top of his voice. More like "collect" or "build".

I love wearing diapers while playing with Lego.

One tip tho: never follow the instructions booklets. If you want cheap legos, buy the general purpose classic legos without specific things to build. Never get the branded legos, you will get bored after building once.

My little Pony in the background, thumbs down.

I hate building Lego

No no no this is super wrong adults shouldn't play Legos they're adults they should show example to their children when they get 18 Wii should stop letting them play with Legos and let them yet on with there lives and don't get me wrong I'm not a Lego hater but I just think it a kids toy so it should just be four kids when my son was 14 I cut him off Legos two teach him how two play sports and I never let him play with it again when he gets older heal find out what a cheap product Lego is two make you waste money case and point and yes I know I spelled yet wrong dust I just did it again
