Time for Lego

Yes, Thank you. Aficionados is the correct nomenclature.

I swear I only get them for the kids.

If you’d be so kind as to allow me to explain and educate:

Lego Nerd = Children who buy sets to build and play with them.

Lego Aficionados = Man-children who buy sets to build and display them. All while appreciating the fine construction, craftsmanship and attention to detail. And play with them…

Oh yessir...I'm out of room at my house for any more Legos.

I am a man-child who buys and plays with Legos with my kids…behold, homemade Disneyland

Very cool! My daughter has a lot of those Friends sets. One of my sons collects a lot of the space ones.

Me? I love building the Icon series vehicles. Daughter helps as much as she can. Sadly the Wrangler is only a Technic (for now).

I like the Landspeeder. The Corvette is cool, I haven't seen that before.

I've just finished a Millennium Falcon. I was asked where it would live - so far it looks good on the dining table beside a box of watches 😉

Corvette is pretty new. Just came out a few weeks back. My buddy has the Millennium Falcon. You could always hang it from the ceiling with fishing line like he did. 😆

#horoLego is a fun hashtag on Instagram

AFOL Adult fan of Lego ☺️

We built this together when we were missing going to Disneyland during the Shutdown times.

There is a fitting acronym for us: AFOL (Adult Fans of Lego). I wonder if there is any psychological association between collecting watches and being an AFOL?

Here are some of mine but they are more childish (well my childhood anyway) and less real. My next one is the Connery Bond Aston Martin. I would have included a watch in the Pic but I'm 4+ years on the Pepsi list so I don't think I'll be getting a Batman soon. Is there a Speed Racer watch (Mission to Mars maybe)?

Hey, call it what you want! That ain’t me, buddy! Remember, I only buy them for the kids, ya see.

There might be something there.

That old Mach 5 is cool, though! Well, that’s what I’d say If I was one of those ROFL things you mentioned.

Man I am NOT going to be the guy who says it 😂

Just don't look too closely into the cross sections of watch guys and Lego guys or car guys or really any hobby that involves the aesthetic appreciation of engineering 😅

You🫵🏼 sir are my hero today 😎🪀🚂🪁Happy Friday

This 👆🏻is the ULTIMATE Lego set…. I wonder if they have an M1 ?🤔

I had a younger brother that used to leave the legos lying around. Those hurt when you step on them barefoot.

I love your collection of old tourism art , very cool , any by Norman Rockwell ?

You’re right. I have too many expensive hobbies. 😫 I’m always allocating funds from one to the other. What’s the market like for a kidney in 2023? Think I could get some decent scratch?

I hear you , even amongst the watches , It’s like “ Noooooo” not another watch calling… pining to sit on my wrist , diverting me from “ The Grail “ ( choir of angels voices cue …now )

Thanks! They’re all places in California (where I grew up). No Norman Rockwell.

You got the Dark Trooper! And an OP! (The real one, not a boring Rolex OP🙄)

Lego Optimus - plastic erotica! ⚙️🤩✨

Lego Star Wars was a massive part of my childhood, so I have a special place for the series in my heart.

They are really nice art :)

There seems to be a connection between watches and lego...

Another watch and Lego nerd here.

OMG - you win the lego x watch contest! My daughter and I soooo want those 3. Star Wars was my first movie seen in a theatre back in '77. How will we get mom to buy in for this project....?🤔

Is that a comic con black lantern ring

The beauty of Lego is that it is always worth more than you paid once the set retires. Convince her it's an investment? 🙂

Yeah years ago during the Blackest Night comic event they were passing out rings during Comic-Con. Got a full set and some extra ones. The Black Ring was one the the extras.

Far out, I got the same ring back then too
