Playing with Lego as an adult

Since last year, I have been playing with Lego bricks for a hobby. I'm turning 33 next February, but my friends and coworkers think it's perfectly normal for an adult to play with Lego. A guard from my sister's workplace says that he likes to play with Lego, too. It wasn't like this when I was younger. Lego used to be considered as a kid's game for brain training in my country. However, nowadays, more and more adults are starting to collect Lego sets.

I'm not sure since when the trend has changed, but I have noticed that unlike the Lego products released in the early days, which were usually simple items like patrol car, water motorcycle, or castle. As time goes by, Lego has started launching new sets that are more life-like and sophisticated. My first Lego set, for example, is a pirate ship that can be turned into three forms, a pirate ship, an inn, or a skull island. It has more than two thousand pieces. Later on, I bought and built Winnie the Pooh and Hogwarts castle. Besides, Lego is collaborating with many classic movies like Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and Star Wars.

In addition to the movie series, Lego launched a cool feature on its website, which is called Lego Ideas. In this section, fans from all over the world are allowed to submit their custom designs and get voted by random online viewers. Once your design gets ten thousand votes, Lego will review and consider launching it into the market. I am most impressed with some of the vintage buildings posted by fans, which even outperform the official Lego buildings, in terms of color scheme and details.

Interestingly, to make Lego products more valuable, Lego is controlling the supply of certain products however popular they are. Therefore, some hobbyists tend to stock up on popular sets. Once Lego discontinues these sets, they will resell for a good price. I personally enjoy picking Lego themes that match with my living room and bedroom. To me, Lego is more than a toy. It's like a work of art.

Hello everyone, I just wrote a journal to describe one of my hobbies - Lego. A little background info for you. When I was a kid, my parents took me to a relative's house. It was there that my cousin showed me his Lego collection. Although it was the first time I saw a Lego castle, I couldn't care less about it at that time. Somehow, my family and I dropped by a Lego store last year, and then picked up a pirate ship set to kill time. That was when I fell in love with Lego.
If you spot errors in my writing, please help correct them, thank you for reading my journal!
