YOU know you have an amazing childhood if you have assembled ass-kicking starships, skyscrapers or build township with lego.
But what happens if the game is being brought even into adulthood? Then again, is it that surprising to find an adult playing with lego?
Looking at the price tag attached to some of these lego sets, we are certain they are out of reach for the average child.
Take it from a man who turned his entire home into an elaborate lego collection in a video on X. Upon entering, guests are greeted with a ship made completely from lego.

The home is spacious and the corners are filled with shelves containing lego building blocks as well as more lego models.
Anyone could have easily mistaken his home as a lego shop. There was even a studio within his house where he would host live lego contents.
According to him, his mother bought him a lego super car when he was 10 years old. But are adult lego collectors a rare breed?
Apparently not. According to the website Blocks, Adult Lego collectors are called AFOLs. AFOLs stands for Adult Fans of Lego.
There are also LEGO clubs where AFOLs gather to build, discuss the latest goings-on and plan events.
“Not everyone wants to go to physical meet-ups though and there are many people who join Facebook groups or forums to discuss the hobby. Many AFOLs though are just happy enough enjoying the hobby by themselves and building models at home,” said Blocks.
Blocks added that some AFOLs go on to start a career at the LEGO Group. Very talented builders can get jobs as LEGO model designers, designing the sets that are then sold in stores.
People who want their models to be released as a set can submit their creations to Lego Ideas, the platform where fan designs can become official products.
However, this opportunity is unlikely to be available on Malaysian shores. —Aug 1, 2025
