Adult Lego

Should these people grow up?

Found this lovely model of the ‘Mule’ from word-of-mouth summer hit ‘Serenity’ whilst looking for something else on Flickr.

There seems to be a huge community of adults making accurate Lego space/robots/etc — and being really anal about it too— buying specific bricks in bulk from eBay and so forth; But the question must be - is this normal? The models are definitely cool — but is playing with Lego something one should grow out of? Or is it fine?

I’m not sure. Seeing these models definitely fills me with nostalgia of the buzz of building the lasest space-craft — and even mild urges to join them — but is this simple innocent creativity or is something a bit wrong?

Perhaps Douglas ‘I'm an artist now as well’ Coupland knows?
