I’m just going to come out and say it.
Playing with Lego, big boxes of random parts, inventing machines and then smashing them into another invented machine, To see who’s made the strongest machine, priceless.
Big expensive Lego kits where every part has only one use, and when you’ve made the item, it sits on a shelf, yeah nah.
Even worse, themed Lego, and Lego movies.
Do your worst...

I'll find my Lego vw tonight, decided not to follow instructions and made a split cab instead. More fun to think it up yourself.

@moorey actually 100% completely agree with this. Generic lego kits, and Technic lego where your imagination is key. I spent a day recently replicating different bike rear suspensions with it. Went to Newcastle over Easter and the kids of the family we were staying with had BULK lego, I sat at that table for a few hours and ended up building an entire helicopter (I was supposed to build another level to he hotel the kids were all working on, just told them this would get guests too and from the hotel).
Following the instructions is all well and good, because it can teach you some cool little techniques for building generally, but if you're not destroying your lego creations on a regular basis, you're missing out on a huge part of the Lego experience!

The difference is I don't care what you think of Lego.You’re right, @scblack, and I don’t want to.
LEGO like that has become expensive wanker status symbols for executives. You likely agree.
The difference is that I don’t think that’s a positive statement
I enjoy it, you don't. Get over it.

@Ultra Lord when you're able to move forward from the healing powers of the pudding, the rehabilitation powers of the pudding crepe should not be overlooked! One of the greatest things to come out of Japan.

Did you read my first paragraph? I love LEGO sorry, I just don’t want to be charged a fortune to be told how I have to enjoy it.The difference is I don't care what you think of Lego.
I enjoy it, you don't. Get over it.
You love the status of LEGO. That’s ok, go nuts. Not that you care what I think. I’m cool with that, just don’t assume I don’t like it coz I don’t get hard over a $6000 Death Star or Millennium Fail-con to make and put and put in my corporate boardroom, never to be touched again.

I've got a kit from around the same era based on that chassis, but with a V4, 3 speed and a coupe body with retractable headlights.
@moorey You're kinda right, but all of my models have been modified in some way or another. Or the sub-structures used to create something completely different. I formed the basis of my primitive engineering skills trying to get my modifications to stay together as strongly as the standard stuff.
The bulk Lego is still relatively cheap compared to Technic, but $20 worth of Lego doesn't get many pieces anymore

Since when did Lego become a status symbol?
Every one of those Lego kits were shared with my daughters making them. Don't assume that just because I like these toys, that I am being told "how to enjoy it", or that it simply sits on a shelf.

Looking at eBay and Gumptree, you can get a bit.
What’s in a new box kit for $20? Not a trick Q, I have no idea.

We’re both guilty of making assumptions.You're the one making assumptions.

The expensive kits that adults buy are definitely status symbols for the people I know who buy them...or aspire to.
