I was so happy to listen to this yesterday. I will be 73 in May, and got interested in Legos when the "pandemic" started. You are so right in everything you have said. Building legos has really helped me considering all the points you mentioned. I watch your channel everyday which has been very helpful in my building technics. You are so kind and positive. Continued success to you and your wife.
I'm 61 and started building Lego in late 2020. My 27 yr old daughter is building too. We shop Lego and get Starbucks. It's our thing. It's a joy for both of us. She is content to chill and build Lego in her apartment with the dog on a Saturday night. I'm over here doing the same. Adding a glass of wine is a kick too! Thanks Bricksie! I've followed you from the beginning of this brick journey. You and Jose (sorry sp) are great!👍👍👍👍👍💝
I actually do agree with the psychological health. For me, it helps me focus since my brain runs in a lot of different directions so when I build a set, it helps me focus on what I'm doing at that particular time. Also personally for my piece of mind, since I can't draw or do other forms of art, I treat building LEGO as art. For example, I stick to the ideas sets that interest me as well as the architecture skylines as the skylines help me feel like I'm traveling around the world without spending mass amounts of money to do so. As always, great informative video Bricksie. One of the best feelings is when I walk into the LEGO store and the staff are so friendly and take the time to talk to me about certain sets and things I see around the store.👍
I’m 24 and recently picked Lego back up. I’m new to the working world and got promoted to a better position at my company, it feels great to be recognized! But my gosh the stress and pressure is intense sometimes, and I get so in my head since a lot of my peers are now sometimes twice my age. Around the summer of last year I was at Walmart getting groceries and passed the Lego section. I honestly felt a little embarrassed even checking them out. I pushed those thoughts aside and came home with the AT-AT and Slave one. Ever since then, I’ve always had at least one Lego set I’m in the process of building and I have to say, it’s an awesome hobby. I love just turning my brain off, not worrying about anything else other than having fun building something. It’s been truly therapeutic for me. I’m glad I found it as an adult and others just like me are too.
I played with Lego as a child. In 2016 I got back into Lego as a 61 year old adult for most all the reasons you mentioned in this video. It has been so much fun for me. My biggest challenge was the Millennium falcon USC set. It was awesome fun to build. Watching you and Mrs. Bricksie build Lego’s and see how you have built and an reorganize and improve your City has help me especially during the pandemic. I have gotten my Grandchildren into Lego too. Thank you for this video and just being there for me and everyone else who watch you. Bless you both and your fur babies. Love seeing them in your videos.
Love this! We took our Autistic 5 Year old to an aviation museum and we happen to buy a Lego X-wing ($20 one) for our son rather than some toy plane, as he already has a few. We thought we'd give him a chance at building. He loved it! Now we build sets together, last one being the At-At 40th anniversary one. It's incredible the patience, fine motor skills, following directions, sense of accomplishment/confidence, determination, and time away from TV that this Lego hobby has helped grow! It truly is a great way to decompress and create positive neuropathy connection.. I'm sure this will help myself also with keeping brain sharp in my old age. (I'm only 40 now) My wife and I even purchased the Typewriter and have a date night planned soon! Wine for her, THC for me, and Lego build for both of us! Thanks for this vid..it truly is a great hobby.
Lego is one of rare things in today life that is very much disconnected from “Digital World”. I think as human beings we need some physical items to rely on. …And this is a great fun as well! Stay calm and keep collecting (c)
I'm 62 and have enjoyed Lego all my life. I have more Lego than space in my apartment and will be moving to a larger place, probably some time this summer. I think you nailed it for the reasons to collect Lego. I have also installed light kits to some of my Lego, which in itself is challenging. I also started working with building sets called Nanobricks, micro versions of the Lego brick, which is quite a challenge at times. I always enjoyed your videos. I look forward to the Back to the Future DeLorean coming out next month. Thanks again, and keep building
I completely agree with the first point. When I got my Pick Up Truck, I too had a busy couple of days at work, so I decided since it was too adorable not to buy and I had some free time that week to use that time to build Lego My only regret is I started too late. I would have loved to have a Parisian Restaurant or Tower Bridge. I could still get them, but they are crazy expensive
This video gave me the reassurance I needed cause I got back into LEGO now at age 25 and feel kinda weird every time I leave the store with bags full of sets. But then I get home and it makes me so happy building and relaxing to where I don't really care if it's weird or not.
Once again another amazing video and the perfect topic. As you stated I started back into lego for my 74 year old mother. We had tremendous loss last year to two family members. I started back into lego as a way for her to get her mind preoccupied on other things. And wow it worked. She loves building lego kits now. It also does everything you mentioned in your video for her. Again great content Bricksie. You have a subscriber and viewer for the life of your channel sir. Also I praise lego for the amazing kits they put out.
As a software developer, I’m problem solving all day. Nothing is more relaxing at the end of the day than being spoon fed instructions! Plus building sets with my wife is good for the ol’ marriage!
This video was spot on! Especially the health & community points. I started with Lego last fall with Home Alone and the Christmas sets to get me through my first Christmas after the loss of my husband. It kept my mind occupied on some of the hardest days. Now I’m continuing with the exclusive sets and looking for past Christmas Village sets. I also managed to find the Simpsons sets to set up a tribute to my husband as he was a huge Homer fan. And the community has been amazing & supportive. Thank you Bricksie & Mrs Bricksie for being a part of my healing journey.
I completely agree 💯 with every reason you gave. I just started collecting Lego last summer and you would think that I’ve been collecting for many years considering the amount of Lego that I’ve accumulated during that span of time, but dead on about the psychological health portion. I have a major depression disorder, attempted suicide multiple times in the past, went through a divorce, had to retire from the army early, my kids are a 23 hour drive away. I’ve been through a lot in life and Lego I will tell you I never thought anything of it before last summer. I starting buying Lego for my kids to build up their rooms I was putting together and next thing you know I was really enjoying it, really getting into it and it was helping me tremendously relieving a lot of stress and shoot I was buying nearly every set out there. ❤️ my Lego collection, ❤️ building Lego. Never could have imagined that I was gonna become addicted to Lego. It helps with stress, it helps with depression, it puts your mind in a much better, more positive place and much better than any medication would ever do. The builds are amazing, the finished products are amazing to look at, and it always gives me something to look forward to. I’m new to the community, proud to be part of the community, and I’ll certainly be part of the community for many many years to come. Don’t know how I overlooked Lego all my life, but I was certainly happy to have found it at the age of 37. 🤟
I started collecting last year and its the best decision ive made. A great way to keep your "inner child" happy and your mental health. Love your channel!!
Recently this past year, I got back into Lego! Needed something to decompress my school stress with. And being a collector of legos and creating mock Lego cities since early childhood has definitely helped with maintaining mental equilibrium.
I got a tattoo a few weeks ago and I noticed the artist had a couple of Lego sets on his shelf. So we started talking about the sets and after he was done, he invited us down to the shop's basement to show us his giant Lego city, bins upon bins of bricks, boxed sets, etc. He said he doesn't usually bring strangers down there, but the instant connection we made over Lego allowed us to have a better relationship than just client and tattoo artist.
Those are some very valid reasons on why to collect LEGO! I 100% agree. It is so nice to have something to distrat yourself from the stresful world and just enjoy a world of you own with LEGO! After a rough day I always love to crack open a set, build it and then place it in my city. It just makes me so happy. LEGO is awesome!
Totally agree with those 5 reasons. I think that you didn't focused enough, in the Education part, on the stimulation of creativity and fine motor skills, very important for both children and elderly. The 3rd made me smile, because for years my wife was the only one in the house that didn't care about LEGO ... until they launched the Bonsai and the flower bouquet.
I didn’t know it was ok to buy LEGO now as an adult until I clicked on your channel. I just thought it was just for kids/children. I didn’t know we too as adults can express our kid self once again. Thank you for help normalizing this for adults.
This was one of your best videos ever Bricksie. It was absolutely right on and so heart felt and honest. It’s wonderful videos like this that make me proud to be a subscriber since the tables in the back of the garage days and honored to call myself a memberino!
Even know I’m a serious LEGO collector/TH-camr in my twenties I still found this video wholesome and reminds me why I love LEGO like building with my partner or a family member there is just nothing like it
Having just gone thru the loss of a 43+ year friendship with my best friend/brother I can say that LEGO’s have made all the difference in coming out the other side of this sense of loss. They make me happy! In todays world having a little fun is a blessing!
I started my LEGO collection journey when lockdown happened 2 years ago. I was cleaning my attic &. found my old LEGO sets from when I was a kid. I then wanted to complete the main Ninjago, Star Wars & Marvel minifigure roster. & doing so... new sets came out based on films & I started buying both new & old.
36 yo and literally just started doing legos. I got the Batman dark knight cowl for Christmas and it has started my addiction to legos. I know have all of the helmets (minus 3) and various Star Wars legos. I can’t stop. I love it
When I was working in IT within an Independant School, we were starting to bring in Lego Mindstorms to help the children with mechanical engineering as well as computer programing. Even as a child the technic sets were only just coming out and definatly helped me with engineering.
I absolutely agree with your top 5 reasons! The only con of Lego that I can think of is that it is a bit expensive. But then, it's sooo super duper awesome that even spending a big amount of money makes you happy. So maybe it is not a con after all... #6 - > lego brings joy and happiness
I bought my very first LEGO last December and it’s the Speed Champion Mclaren Elva, and on February I bought the SATURN V and it’s my favorite in all of them, then I bought the Microfighter the Millennium Falcon. And it’s continue to grow.
Had LEGO as a kid 80s. 😃Sold them all in early 00s 😖 Buying LEGO Friends and playing with my girls is a highlight of my week. 😁 I love watching them think through the steps of the instructions. 😀 They were excited to see your mod of the school, and always want me to pause your vids when you show Disney castle and Frozen castle. 🙌🏻
I totally agree. The health part is dead on. I have been recovering from surgery and started building lego again. It's been awesome. Watching your videos,increasing my collection it's just been great. And then, finding out people I know share the same passion?! How amazing is that! Then building with my son is just so much fun as well. We just love it. I totally agree with your 5 reasons to build Lego. I'm at the hospital now but currently have 3 sets at home and another on it's way.
Lego is awesome! I love it for all the health things you mentioned and after discovering the Bricksie channel, I have a virtual community which is great. When people see my Lego collection, whether on FaceBook posts or in person, there is an instant common bond and encouragement to continue building. Thank you Mr and Mrs Bricksie for channel. I love your excitement and that we all are able to share this hobby.
Just ordered the UCS Imperial Star Destroyer. Never been more excited for a LEGO set. Very much looking forward to taking over the dinning room table for a weekend and get building.
I think those are awesome reasons when I was young I first got my first Lego set but I didn't really know about it until a year ago when I watched your channel and then I started to buy a lot more sets so thank you!
I for sure need to be more active in the Lego community. I tend to just watch online and comment here and there, but I think I need to get out and start going to conventions and talking to people instead of being the plastic hermit that I currently am lol. I used to be emberrased about collecting Lego for the first year when I got back into it, but after sharing some niche sets with select friends I realized people more so think it's just as awesomeas I do!
I started watching a lot of art and crafts videos and thought the creativity was so neat. I needed a hobby but I’m far from a creative person. My aunt ended up buying me a Lego set (Friends Central Perk) for Christmas and it was a blast and scratched that creative itch. I’ve been pretty obsessed over the last four months and went to the Lego store at Disneyland with my parents. They were pretty amazed at how far Lego has come since I and they were a kid. Now my Dad is talking about getting a larger set and my mom likes the idea of building a Christmas theme Lego set for the holidays.
As an older lady, I am late to the Lego party. I have only been building since last year. My husband has been building for many years. I started making Christmas decorations last year. This year I made a Valentines Day display and we are both working on a Christmas village for this year. I am currently designing our house which we will be building in the next couple of years which of course will include a lego room. My husband uses Lego as a stress relief as he has a demanding job as an anaesthesia tech in the hospital surgical dept. I'm hooked now and always searching for lego bargains and we love building together ...
Amazing topic, Bricksie...and greatly explained. I fully agree with all 5 reasons and also with the order within the list, specially the 1st one. I came back to lego very recently cause I had to go through a breast cancer experience and this was the only thing that helped me to get out of uncertainties and fear there implied. Now I have just finished the process and have to come back to work when I would really prefer to keep building lego, talking about lego, watching lego videos ... even considering a professional change in this direction... who knows ;)
I always loved Lego but never bought any. A few years ago my wife got me the Arc de triumphe architecture set I love it, last week we decided to pick up the bonsai tree and the Vespa. I think we will continue collecting. I want castle sets and medieval sets and the town modular sets... I love it.
I agree with this! Me and my brother bonded really well while building the new Luke Skywalker Helmet. Lego also helps me focus and relive stress! Keep up the good work Bricksie!
Great video man! Great list too. I 100% agree on that. Maybe you could make some small text graphics on the screen for these videos, to make it even more popped if you will. Just a suggestion 🤷🏻♂️ would be cool
Hi bricksie I'm 16 and I have been collecting for about 10 years now but I have just really been interested in lego technic and I especially like building remote control veichels. Love your videos dude keep up the good work 👏🙌👍
Always when I get a new lego set(s) I send a picture to my friend and ask him to come over so we can build it together because we are both huge fan of lego
I used to love Lego as a child & as many, stopped as I hit my teens & older. I never had a clue they made adult sets. Just thought you’d get technic as you got older but they never appealed to me. Then towards later last year when things reopened more, promotions started popping up which got my attention & curiosity. Turned out one of my oldest friends was into it & discovered TH-camrs doing it. Cut a long story short & few thousand £££ later 😬🤫 I love it & completely agree about your mental well-being. Keeps my mind focused, having fun solving the challenges of building them & takes away stress. Really wish I discovered it earlier to save money & for investment purposes though.
Got my first Lego set when I was 1 (Duplo) and been collecting ever sense. Now I’m 19 and I just bought the McLaren F1 car. Ready for the start of the F1 season😄
Health? It's a source of stress for me. I collect vintage sets (80s and 90s) and trying to find them at reasonable prices or piecing them together on Bricklink, finding the best prices and shipping rates can be a pain. Never mind E-Bay auctions or getting a set and it's yellowed and now I have to replace those parts. As for value, I don't intend to sell anything so I don't worry about that. Fortunately I'm not into any of the new themes other than Ninjago City so the collection becomes easier to manage that way. Can't even imagine the stress levels if I collected Star Wars or city modulars.
May I ask, do you build these sets, or keep them as an investment or for reselling? Some vintage sets in good condition do seem to command a high price on eBay etc.
@@drdel76 My sets are all in great condition and complete. Most have the box and instructions too. I build them and display them. I don't "invest" in Lego. I intend to keep them. I know a lot of them are quite expensive but I don't worry about that.
NBA player, Myles Turner, is a big Lego guy! They showed his collection on Sportscenter’s Instagram page the other day and I immediately thought of you!
So true, lego is just awesome. Love your videos they are so entertaining and helpful. You forgot to add one important thing though, the display. I think it is so awesome to use your imagination to build and display you collection.
Really wish there was an official LEGO stores here in Ukraine, 'cause our stores raise prices up to the sky and have unfair loyalty programs than official one. I'm still collecting it, but always looking for sales, 'cause even on sales it doesn't always cost less, than $0.10 per piece. Also, really love point about relationship. We've built a few large sets with my girlfriend previous summer on beach and it was one of the greatest experience
I work in Law Enforcement and I deal with a lot of evil people. I decompress with building Lego sets and it has helped me a lot to be able to escape and focus all of my attention into building a complicated set. Cheaper than therapy as well. Win win.
i feel so happy everytime i buy a set. work is really stressful some days and a $20 speed champions set could really calm me down/ make me more positive. other days its chicfila, but lego definitely last longer 😂
If I ever make a huge lego city then i will destroy it and make it into an avengers scene loll, there reason why i collect lego is because i like building it and i want to design houses, which i think would look good
I hope I’m not too late I’m 10 But it’s almost my birthday so I plan on collecting every marvel set in all of my birthdays I don’t care if my friends say I’m childish,I still love Lego like everyone in this channel does
Hey there so speaking of creativity I just finished building one of many alt mocs of the Ford Mustang on rebrickable the Ford gt40 I don’t know why there’s no reviews of it on here but please go support this creator because they have serious skill
I got 1 reason collecting lego is better then video games you don't get seizures from building legos if you suffer from epilepsy like I do. I don't mean all video games either I have only had problems with violent games in the past. Lego ones have been ok for me.
I was so happy to listen to this yesterday. I will be 73 in May, and got interested in Legos when the "pandemic" started. You are so right in everything you have said.

@@mixsmasher Central Perk, Seinfeld and Home Alone.
@@dicloniusgames nice! I’ve seen them all but never got them
Love this share! I agree with you regarding Lego staff! Stellar! Even customer support!

Lego is one of rare things in today life that is very much disconnected from “Digital World”. I think as human beings we need some physical items to rely on.

Stay calm and keep collecting (c)

I Put Together My First Set In 27 Years 3 Days Ago It Was The Venom Bust And I Seen It Here First And Everything Youre Saying I felt Right Away

People love the “money doesn’t buy happiness”. But lego really does bring some people a lot of positivity.
I started collecting LEGO at 10 and it was the best choice of my life
I started my LEGO collection journey when lockdown happened 2 years ago. I was cleaning my attic &. found my old LEGO sets from when I was a kid. I then wanted to complete the main Ninjago, Star Wars & Marvel minifigure roster. & doing so... new sets came out based on films & I started buying both new & old.
im also a huge Marvel fan & the mcu films so much that the LEGO Marvel sets have so much value to mean as most sets recreate unforgettable memories
36 yo and literally just started doing legos. I got the Batman dark knight cowl for Christmas and it has started my addiction to legos. I know have all of the helmets (minus 3) and various Star Wars legos. I can’t stop. I love it

Had LEGO as a kid 80s. 😃Sold them all in early 00s 😖 Buying LEGO Friends and playing with my girls is a highlight of my week. 😁 I love watching them think through the steps of the instructions. 😀 They were excited to see your mod of the school, and always want me to pause your vids when you show Disney castle and Frozen castle. 🙌🏻
I love LEGO for all the same reasons as you, but my number one reason for loving LEGO is that it simply makes me Happy 😁
I totally agree. The health part is dead on. I have been recovering from surgery and started building lego again. It's been awesome. Watching your videos,increasing my collection it's just been great. And then, finding out people I know share the same passion?! How amazing is that! Then building with my son is just so much fun as well. We just love it. I totally agree with your 5 reasons to build Lego. I'm at the hospital now but currently have 3 sets at home and another on it's way.
Lego is awesome! I love it for all the health things you mentioned and after discovering the Bricksie channel, I have a virtual community which is great. When people see my Lego collection, whether on FaceBook posts or in person, there is an instant common bond and encouragement to continue building. Thank you Mr and Mrs Bricksie for channel. I love your excitement and that we all are able to share this hobby.
Just ordered the UCS Imperial Star Destroyer. Never been more excited for a LEGO set. Very much looking forward to taking over the dinning room table for a weekend and get building.
I think those are awesome reasons when I was young I first got my first Lego set but I didn't really know about it until a year ago when I watched your channel and then I started to buy a lot more sets so thank you!
I for sure need to be more active in the Lego community. I tend to just watch online and comment here and there, but I think I need to get out and start going to conventions and talking to people instead of being the plastic hermit that I currently am lol. I used to be emberrased about collecting Lego for the first year when I got back into it, but after sharing some niche sets with select friends I realized people more so think it's just as awesomeas I do!
Hello Bricksie
I am I 59 yr old woman who has just subscribed to your channel for ALL of the reasons you just laid out!! Thank you!
Lego is the best. I build with my wife and daughter. So fun. Stress relief. Time away from screens.
I started watching a lot of art and crafts videos and thought the creativity was so neat. I needed a hobby but I’m far from a creative person. My aunt ended up buying me a Lego set (Friends Central Perk) for Christmas and it was a blast and scratched that creative itch.
I’ve been pretty obsessed over the last four months and went to the Lego store at Disneyland with my parents. They were pretty amazed at how far Lego has come since I and they were a kid.
Now my Dad is talking about getting a larger set and my mom likes the idea of building a Christmas theme Lego set for the holidays.
As an older lady, I am late to the Lego party. I have only been building since last year. My husband has been building for many years. I started making Christmas decorations last year. This year I made a Valentines Day display and we are both working on a Christmas village for this year. I am currently designing our house which we will be building in the next couple of years which of course will include a lego room. My husband uses Lego as a stress relief as he has a demanding job as an anaesthesia tech in the hospital surgical dept. I'm hooked now and always searching for lego bargains and we love building together ...
Very nice speech. I started collecting LEGO during Covid. And continue :)
Amazing topic, Bricksie...and greatly explained. I fully agree with all 5 reasons and also with the order within the list, specially the 1st one. I came back to lego very recently cause I had to go through a breast cancer experience and this was the only thing that helped me to get out of uncertainties and fear there implied. Now I have just finished the process and have to come back to work when I would really prefer to keep building lego, talking about lego, watching lego videos ... even considering a professional change in this direction... who knows ;)
I always loved Lego but never bought any. A few years ago my wife got me the Arc de triumphe architecture set I love it, last week we decided to pick up the bonsai tree and the Vespa. I think we will continue collecting. I want castle sets and medieval sets and the town modular sets... I love it.
I agree with this! Me and my brother bonded really well while building the new Luke Skywalker Helmet. Lego also helps me focus and relive stress! Keep up the good work Bricksie!
Great video man! Great list too. I 100% agree on that. Maybe you could make some small text graphics on the screen for these videos, to make it even more popped if you will. Just a suggestion 🤷🏻♂️ would be cool
Hi bricksie I'm 16 and I have been collecting for about 10 years now but I have just really been interested in lego technic and I especially like building remote control veichels. Love your videos dude keep up the good work 👏🙌👍
Always when I get a new lego set(s) I send a picture to my friend and ask him to come over so we can build it together because we are both huge fan of lego
Well said Bricksie! My mental health is a big reason that I still build LEGO, and I'm 50!
I used to love Lego as a child & as many, stopped as I hit my teens & older. I never had a clue they made adult sets. Just thought you’d get technic as you got older but they never appealed to me. Then towards later last year when things reopened more, promotions started popping up which got my attention & curiosity. Turned out one of my oldest friends was into it & discovered TH-camrs doing it. Cut a long story short & few thousand £££ later 😬🤫 I love it & completely agree about your mental well-being. Keeps my mind focused, having fun solving the challenges of building them & takes away stress. Really wish I discovered it earlier to save money & for investment purposes though.
I’m trying to live up to my dream to becoming a lego designer of a person on TH-cam that does stuff with LEGO. You are correct that LEGO is Awesome 🤩
Well said there, you also learn a lot about how to manage your money and learn how to save, because of Lego been so expensive.
Reston 1 is why I started getting into lego at my age.
Got my first Lego set when I was 1 (Duplo) and been collecting ever sense. Now I’m 19 and I just bought the McLaren F1 car. Ready for the start of the F1 season😄
I have been collecting for 2 years now and have a serious Super Lego Mario and Ninjago collection. I also like the minifigs, City and Expert
The 4th reason is my favorite. The LEGO community is awesome!
Health? It's a source of stress for me. I collect vintage sets (80s and 90s) and trying to find them at reasonable prices or piecing them together on Bricklink, finding the best prices and shipping rates can be a pain. Never mind E-Bay auctions or getting a set and it's yellowed and now I have to replace those parts. As for value, I don't intend to sell anything so I don't worry about that. Fortunately I'm not into any of the new themes other than Ninjago City so the collection becomes easier to manage that way. Can't even imagine the stress levels if I collected Star Wars or city modulars.
May I ask, do you build these sets, or keep them as an investment or for reselling? Some vintage sets in good condition do seem to command a high price on eBay etc.
@@drdel76 My sets are all in great condition and complete. Most have the box and instructions too. I build them and display them. I don't "invest" in Lego. I intend to keep them. I know a lot of them are quite expensive but I don't worry about that.
2:02 Oh my! I need this! Thank you sir😊
Great video , the amazing Lego quality control is another plus- from New Zealand.
NBA player, Myles Turner, is a big Lego guy! They showed his collection on Sportscenter’s Instagram page the other day and I immediately thought of you!
I am honestly trying to buy all the old DC superhero I've been wanting and I'm just waiting till next month to get the Arkham I wanted for years
32 year old father of two, just got back into LEGO this year for all of these reasons.
Why Lego? Because Lego. Not only is Lego the question, it’s the solution. It’s very multifunctional
So true, lego is just awesome. Love your videos they are so entertaining and helpful. You forgot to add one important thing though, the display. I think it is so awesome to use your imagination to build and display you collection.
A very positive and inspiring video! Makes me want to build Lego right now 😊
I really like to listen to music while I build a Lego set or maybe a movie in the background
Really wish there was an official LEGO stores here in Ukraine, 'cause our stores raise prices up to the sky and have unfair loyalty programs than official one. I'm still collecting it, but always looking for sales, 'cause even on sales it doesn't always cost less, than $0.10 per piece. Also, really love point about relationship. We've built a few large sets with my girlfriend previous summer on beach and it was one of the greatest experience
I agree, the Lego games has the same effect. I’m a 57 yr old female that loves Lego everything. 👍
I collected LEGO since I was 8 years old back in 2009 & nowadays I still enjoy it.
I've been collecting their Star Wars sets since day 1. Nearly 23 years later, I have a pretty big collection.
Another daily Bricksie post=another happy day:)
I work in Law Enforcement and I deal with a lot of evil people. I decompress with building Lego sets and it has helped me a lot to be able to escape and focus all of my attention into building a complicated set. Cheaper than therapy as well. Win win.
Sounds like your in Corrections. I know of Officers in the same situation that use lego as a outlet as well.
@@TK-fc8rh nahh Corrections is a whole different ball game. Those officers are troopers. I couldn’t do what they do.
awesome video jordan i got back into lego last year when i bought the titanic it was a amazing build
Hello bricksie I love all of your videos soooo much! :D
Thanks for telling us why if LEGO collections
Totally agree dude.
i feel so happy everytime i buy a set. work is really stressful some days and a $20 speed champions set could really calm me down/ make me more positive. other days its chicfila, but lego definitely last longer 😂
I love the de stress part!
If I ever make a huge lego city then i will destroy it and make it into an avengers scene loll, there reason why i collect lego is because i like building it and i want to design houses, which i think would look good
Thanks Bricksie great vid!
I have recently started a 100% custom lego city.
Any advice?
Start with a good table, some roads, and take it slow.
I stared collecting LEGO again I mainly buy the Star Wars sets I love them
I hope I’m not too late I’m 10
But it’s almost my birthday so I plan on collecting every marvel set in all of my birthdays
I don’t care if my friends say I’m childish,I still love Lego like everyone in this channel does
I though the title said “five seasons is to start collecting” you post videos when I wake up makes me confused
Dude I can’t get enough of your videos
I couldn’t agree more! Keep up with the great content:)
I could totally see you as a philosophy professor or just a teacher😄
Hey there so speaking of creativity I just finished building one of many alt mocs of the Ford Mustang on rebrickable the Ford gt40 I don’t know why there’s no reviews of it on here but please go support this creator because they have serious skill
I haven't built that one yet, but I'm planning on doing a Rebrickable alt build of that set.
This is a great video! I love it! Keep up the great work! ;)
Those are some really good reasons to collect Lego! Thanks for sharing!!
Also, you look exactly like a guy who would collect Lego lol 😂
🤣🤣🤣
Great info thanks for the hard work.
I got 1 reason collecting lego is better then video games you don't get seizures from building legos if you suffer from epilepsy like I do. I don't mean all video games either I have only had problems with violent games in the past. Lego ones have been ok for me.
Ya but my back hurts when I build lego sets as opposed to playing games lol
Lego and Lionel best thing for life!
yes for all 5 reasons !👏👏👏
I have been collecting lego for years now
Very well said!! Another great video
Very well said man
