I was wondering if any other aspies collect Lego, surely I can't be the only one. Anyone?

I collect some. I sold and bought a lot a few years ago. I created custom LEGO figures also and sold.

I would say I collect LEGO. I can never have enough. I simply love LEGO.

I wouldn't say I "collect" LEGO, but I was a pretty big fan of them when I was a kid.

I still have them all somewhere...I always wanted that big, expensive train set though, as featured in the film The Witches @_@ Never got one =P

I still have my childhood sets sorted back together and organized in some boxes somewhere back at my dads house. I believe my Star Wars Turbo Tank with the Mace Windu with the light up lightsaber is still in my closet assembled. Maybe someday I'll start actually collecting, I've got a soft spot for the first few generations of Bionicles. If I'm lucky though I might have a kid someday who likes legos and I can get them cool stuff instead of just collecting for myself.

I grew up with Legos. Christmas time was always great.

That's awesome.

I primarily stuck with Castle, Pirate, and Space Lego sets. Those were my three.
These days it appears that Legos have far greater detail and not just on the people, but the weapons and items as well. Kids these days have some really interesting Legos compared to the older sets. There's also a greater variety available to further stimulate the imagination.

Legos will always be amazing.

I have several of the big Star Wars sets including the Death Star, the Sandcrawler, and my personal trophy: The SSD Executor (Which was an absolute b***h to build).

I love Lego! I have all of the Harry Potter sets, some Lord of The Rings and Hobbit sets, and a new Doctor Who set! I've also built Aeris' Church from Final Fantasy VII out of most of my sets.

I loved playing with Lego when I was a kid. Then, I decided to save my Lego collection (along with my marble collection, hot wheel collection, baseball card collection, etc.) for my kids. Unfortunately, my daughters didn't seem to enjoy the Lego as much as I did. We built a couple of things together. But that's about it.

As a note, the Lego I had seems much different than it does these days. I don't recall having all these cool Lego kits. I just had a box full of Lego and had to use my imagination to build things.

^ Marbles are great. I've always appreciated the colors and formations/designs within marbles (both stationary and in motion). Especially the giant ones. Often as a child, I'd spin a giant marble as fast as possible and gaze deeply into it for as long as it remained in motion.

Yeah there are so many more pieces now to build with than when I was a kid. I had always wanted to build a giant spaceship with the pieces I wanted to use, not just the pieces I had from sets I had collected. Now that I have the money and eBay, I can build whatever I want. I can build whatever my imagination conjures up. :D

In 7th grade, I remember playing marbles during lunch. It was a form of gambling, where each player would either win or lose marbles from the other kids.
