Is it Wrong....?

[AdmiralMemo]

Tell her that Legos were originally created as tools to help engineers. The "children play with them" aspect came later. Tell her you're getting back to Lego roots.

 

[neonsword13-ops]

Does a man get made fun of if he plays minecraft?

No? Then legos are no different.

Legos are fine for any age group. They promote creativity.

Legos are awesome. So are Knex, and those metalworking sets that I can't recall the name of.

Besides, you can save them for years and pass them to your children.

They're called Erector Sets and they're a great way to lose a Saturday.

OT: I'd sooner say your GF has childhood issues since there's nothing wrong with Legos and someone so quick to jump against it probably had issues with her childhood. Legos are great for getting the creative juices flowing, the only reason I don't use mine more is Minecraft really filled that spot.

Erector...damn it, too slow. Didn't enjoy them as much as legos though.

OT: I asked my wife to buy me some starwars lego sets for christmas. (I'm 29) She laughed and gave me shit, but meh. Legos are awesome. I remember having built an entire space train lego set...took up a good 15 square feet. Good times.

Lego is awesome! You can make anything out of it, it is like, imagination taking shape with the help of colourful bricks... So, no you don't have issues, you just have an immagination and a measure of creativity, and thus enjoy using a tool of sorts to explore it and have fun...

Lego for life!

 

[SecondSince]

Nothing more annoying than psychology students! XD

Enjoy your hobby! Lego's rule!

 

[Coruptin]

Let me answer that question with another question, who wants to make sixty dollars?
Because with sixty dollars you could buy a game, like Minecraft!
Is it wrong to play Minecraft?

 

[TheLoneBeet]

I don't see anything wrong with it. LEGO is and always will be fun to play with. If it's a sign of childhood issues to enjoy something you enjoyed as a child then the same could be said about almost anything you enjoyed in your youth. Nostalgia isn't a bad thing.

"Meccano" perhaps ?

 

[Rune342]

Legos can be used by all ages. They're a way to let creativity out. If you enjoy messing around with legos, then she should respect your decision.

 

[CobraX]

Do what you want.

Cuz a pirate is free, you are a pirate.

I am so sorry.

On topic:Lego`s rule. If I had the money I`d probably still buy em.

 

[zama174]

As long as you don't go overboard with it (i.e. buying enough legos to make a full-scale replica of your house and all furnishings within), and you don't let the collecting/building interfere with your life, you don't have a problem.

Umm.. Whats wrong with that?? James May did it and it was fucking spectacular.

 

[astrav1]

I'm a 28 year old man. and recently me and a couple of m8s have started collecting LEGO models again.

is there anything wrong with that?

My GF thinks i have childhood issues (she is doing a masters in psychology so I get analysed a lot lol)

Legos kick ass. Nothing to worry about. When she finds out you're still breast feeding however that might be a problem.

It all depends on WHAT TYPE OF LEGOS.

First off, if it's the cheap sets... well that's just childish for an adult.

But if it's making a $10,000 dollar Venator Star Destroyer that takes up a 10th of a room well that's something else entirely.

Or you could do the mid ground and settle for making your own custom sets for 1000 - 2000 dollars.

Or finally, the low mid with Ultimate Collector Series sets like:

buddy let me tell you something.

legos. fucking. rule.

nuff said.

 

[Suicideking]

I am also 28. A couple years ago my mom got me 2 things for Christmas. A PS3, and a Lego set. First thing I did was set the PS3 aside, and put together that Lego set. It is one of those fighting robot ones. It will forever live near my media, tv, or computer along with my other figures.

 

[Orks da best]

nah bro, your all right.

 

[Nuke_em_05]

Nope. Enjoy!

Don't you just love students? Whatever subject they are studying, they see it everywhere.

 

[smearyllama]

Nah. I am 22, and I sleep with a teddy bear in my bed. Most people keep something with them from childhood. Enjoy your lego. <3 It is awesome after all.

You too?
I still sleep with a stuffed rabbit, and I'm fifteen. I don't need him, but I sleep better knowing he's there.

Funny there's others like me.

OT: Not a problem. I know plenty of adults who would plop down on the floor and spend hours building with Lego given the opportunity.

 

[DrunkPickle]

I don't know your girlfriend, but I'm under the impression that she's one of those snobby, stuck-up adults who think anything related to entertainment and and having fun is "immature". But then again, I don't know her.

If you like collecting Legos, that's fine. It's your personality; just because Legos are considered a "toy" doesn't mean you have mental issues. Being a mature adult doesn't require you to miss out on all the things that make you happy. Besides, Legos actually require the use of your brain. It's not some mindless, childish game. I'm 23 and I still have a few Lego sets in my closet I "play" with occasionally.
