I have about 16 sets at the moment not including boxes of RC train track. I originally started collecting lego when I was a couple of years old, for many years it was defiantly my favorite toy and due to being ill when I was younger I acquired many sets as presents. That lego is now being played with by my nephew but my current collection was started early this year. I got inspired by some interesting lego pictures I saw then had a look around the net at the big lego train hobbyists towns and decided I wanted to start buying some more lego again.

Maybe when I was 6 or 7 but it's nothing thats really came into mind at an older age, but thats probably due to only being interested in lego again this year. I think it would be an amazing job being a Lego Engineer though, getting to design the best sets possible and building things with lego all day, sounds like a really fun job to me!

Actually I prefer to wait it out, I think as a kid I'd have dived straight into it, wanting to build the toy as soon as possible but now a days I prefer to build lego sets to relax and keep myself busy at times of boredom. I think it's something that replaces my more recent hobby of building model aircraft and tanks.

Ah thats a good question. Lego has been going for years and I've noticed that they've made a set for pretty much everything you can think of. I only really collect town sets now but I think perhaps they should make a set for adults, perhaps a busy night club or fancy wine bar would be different and amusing. I'm sure lego could add some quirky detail to it. Also I've always been a fan of the command and conquer series of RTS games so perhaps a tie into that would be really cool. Lego sets of some of the units and buildings. It's not such a far fetched idea as I've actually seen peoples creations of CnC units on lego blogs, they have amazing attention to detail too!

I don't really build enough custom models to answer that question, but there's so many lego parts that if there's something you want to build there's bound to be the right parts out there to build it. Thats what's so fascinating about lego you start off with a loud of random looking pieces and end up with a rubbish truck or ambulance or something really detailed and oddly shaped.

As an adult Legos appeal seems to be that ability to build anything we like out of just a few bricks or build something amazing out of thousands of bricks. If I had the space, the money and the time I'd try and build some really amazing buildings and vehicles but at the moment I don't but thats ok because the sets range in price and size that you can buy what you have the means to. I think adults who build lego are very nostalgic people who either must have collected lego as a child and got back into like me or started collecting it and never stopped. Lego always had a soft spot for me with happy memories from my childhood so I guess it's just really hard to let go of.
