Lego Is Not Just For Kids

there are tons of Adult Fans Of Lego World WideHave you seen the massive massive collection Of Lego Sets out there?
Are they all just for kids?

I DON’T THINK SO………….

This page will show all the skeptics…. That LEGO is suitable for kids and adults over 16 as well.

I remember the fun I had back in the 80`s when I first started collecting Lego, I even remember the first set I  got when I was 6, it was the Lego Town Ship Yard and boy was I impressed with the whole new concept of building a toy you play with.

You see as we are all aware Lego is not just a toy that you take out of a box and play with straight away, you have to follow instructions and build it step by step in order to enjoy it to it’s maximum potential whilst gaining respect for a toy at the same time.

In my opinion Lego is a toy you grow with and end up respecting more and more as you mature, it`s a toy that is beneficial to any youngster as it teaches them great skills such as coordination and building skills that they will thrive on later in life. Over the years I have seen the Lego Group release more and more intricate Lego Sets for the Older Fans Of Lego, a lot of these sets have 16+ on the box and in some countries that age is known as “a young adult” so that is why sets such as these are more attractive to the more mature adult Lego Fans.

These lego sets are very very detailed in appearance

Not only are they detailed to look at but are advanced in the creation of the finished product. There is enough difficulty to them to make them fun for the adult to build.
