Kids and adults, boys and girls, from all walks of life, are collecting Retired Lego. This may seem a little far fetched, but it is true that many Lego lovers have created their own versions of the original bricks that inspired millions to play with them. What exactly makes these old toys so popular? There are several reasons, to be blunt.
First, as parents know, children love creativity and adventure. They are constantly trying to build everything from simple houses to huge structures they call “giant Lego”. It’s thrilling for them, and when they see the creations they can’t stop playing. The creativity pays off – parents get to see their kids exert this effort and they always encourage them to keep trying. Who knows, their creations might be someday used in a big production.
Second, even though the toy is so large, the prices are reasonable, especially when compared to similar-sized sets. If a youngster wants to play with just one set, he or she will be delighted with the low costs. For a grownup, that’s a savings of several thousand dollars. If you figure in the cost of the shipping and handling, they could save even more.
Third, since it’s played with by young and old alike, there’s something for everyone. Many of the older pieces are hard to find, which means there are usually only a few basic colors available – yellow, red and blue, and occasionally green, orange or purple. But many young ones will be thrilled at the chance to create all kinds of things. And the combinations are limitless – for example, if one child builds the Moonbase, he or she could also build the Asteroids and the space shuttles.
Fourth, since it’s played with alone or with friends, this particular toy never goes out of style. It’s a classic toy with timeless appeal. There are always new sets to buy, and each new expansion brings along with it new minifigures and accessories. Who knows – you may get an exclusive set that no one else has! What’s more, because this is a building set, the possibilities are endless – you can build a skyscraper, a city, an airplane, a tank, or anything else you can dream up!
Fifth, there are no “sets” of Retired Lego – it’s just Lego blocks. And blocks come in many shapes, sizes, colors, and patterns. All it takes is a little imagination. There’s even some sets where you can mix and match the pieces. With this kind of freedom, there is surely something for everyone.
Sixth, because of its universal appeal, you can find a Retired Lego fan just about anywhere. There are themed restaurants, toy stores, gift shops, conventions – you name it. And the best part is – these sets are sold in sets of four, so you don’t have to worry about a small number of bricks when you start. Just plug in the correct number of bricks and go!
Seventh, if you buy a box of Retired Lego it comes with a set of instructions on how to assemble it. And don’t worry – even if you’ve never done it before, it’s easier than you think! (Just peel off the instruction sheet, read it, follow it, and snap the pieces together). This will save you precious time and energy that you would have spent searching the Internet for the right instructions to make that skyscraper or that tank.
And finally, the price. It’s a great deal cheaper than Legos, so you can’t complain. The most basic sets of Retired Lego are already assembled and ready to play, but the most creative ones will need some extra help.
