As a young boy I grew up playing with and building Lego models from following the given plans to designing and building my own creations.
Now all grown up physically but not mentally (heh.... okay its true) I still enjoy building Lego the difference is, I can get the kits that I want. With-in reason as I do have upper limit I will spend and not question it, however that being said there are a couple of non-negotiables I do have with a couple of kits that are hopefully coming soon.
Am I an avid collector of Lego... No. I just have the odd kit I liked the looks of, heck I throw the boxes out once the kit is made and I have no intentions of ever selling any of them. The chances I will have a large collection is non-existent and to be honest I don't want a huge collection of every Lego set out there.
I will also say mixed as amongst the Lego are non-lego bricks that are compatible with the real Lego. These kits were just bought off Temu by the other half just because...and one was bought at K-Mart. I will never say that these are actual Lego when they are not.
