Sooner or later, you will have enough pieces to build any set lego puts out. I feel that after a $100 investment in lego, you can literally build any set.

To some AFOLs, liking Legos is something that requires no substantial reasons. "I like Legos because I do...and it's none of your business," some may say. I've recently began questioning my "addiction" to Lego products. I wonder, "Is it fulfilling something in my life that was once missing?" or "What about Lego products make me so happy?". Rationally, I feel that Lego is something I do not need in life. However, there's another part of me that really enjoys every spoiler season and treating myself to a set every now and then since heck, it's expensive. I want to know why I like Legos.

Well, there are some very good reasons to quit Lego. First of all, it's very pricey. Secondly, once you've built many sets you notice how they reuse a lot of the same elements. The only subtheme that doesn't use bricks is Technic and rods and pins lose their novelty after a few sets. Action figure sets get old even faster. The themes are repetitive as well. There's a Historic theme, and Space theme every year and heck, they remake Star Wars sets every couple years. A lot of the vehicles are cars, helicopters, and monster trucks just being piloted by different characters. A lot of the structures involve some kind of expensive castle and every year there's a Creator house and some sort of racecar theme. I'm sure there are more deja vu experiences but I'm just listing the ones that come to my head. It's not really bad that you quit since after a while, you've experienced all you could with this company and it's time to move on to better horizons like maybe taking up a trading card game that you'll get over in a few years as well. And then maybe learn to drive afterwards.

Ever give up in the middle of building?

I'm beginning to notice that regardless of what sets come out each season, there are very particular patterns that permeate through all themes. Vehicles, planes and boats feel very similar to each other regardless of which theme they're from. The build is nearly the same. The same goes for humanoid/robot builds, and structures/buildings.This trend of familiarity can also be seen in long-running television shows, and games where after you've interacted with the products for years...they begin to look and feel the same. So much deja vu during the building process.

It takes me about 2 days after I build a set before I get sick of looking at it and must take it apart and start MOC’ing. What I do is make a vignette-esque shrine for the minifigures and then with the remaining pieces, make something else (if possible).

You take your brickhead lifestyle way too seriously. I openly flaunt to my pals that I am a Lego fan and that when I walk into the Lego Store, I am not buying for my nephew's birthday party...I'm buying for Myself. Although I'm beginning to question my VIP status at Lego as the $5 reward doesn't beat the discounts offered at retail stores/Amazon on certain sets.

I haggled down a bootleg 900+ piece pirate ship for 16 USD overseas in China and was able to build it without it falling apart. I wouldn't mind if Lego's quality went down in order for price to go down.

Prolly wouldn't work in a set. Too much green and brown. However, it's the most realistic MOC of a Quidditch match I've seen so far. Good work!

Bought AT-RT, The Werewolf, and Batman vs. Mr. Freeze and received a free Republic Frigate and double VIP points.

You guys might think that living within walking distance of a Lego Store, a target, a TRU or a barnes and noble is a good thing. It is absolutely terrible for a Lego addict to be living within 2 miles of these retail stores because you end up going there every weekend and eyeing that set that you've wanted to buy. If I didn't actually live near these stores, I would stop getting the urge to stop by TRU when I'm getting groceries or at B&N when I'm getting lunch. Okay, nobody needed to see this and yes, I don't have a life, but for those of you who wish they lived near a Lego outlet...you are dead wrong!

During the time Prince of Persia was doing poorly, I walked in to my neighborhood Lego store to find that all the sets were selling for 80% off! The sets were respectively, 3, 5, 9, 12, 15 USD. I was so surprised since I had enough cash on me to buy all of them. This made me think how much of a margin Lego was making on their sets when they could sell them for so little if the sets didn't do well. Last week, I walked into the Lego store to see their 12.95 USD 2013 Calendar go for 0.99 USD. A 12 USD profit margin per calendar is amazing if people actually purchased the calendar at retail price. I am also suspicious if Lego's minifigures are actually their most expensive element since the minifigures line retails a minifigure at 3 USD if not more. During Christmas 2011, Series 3 Minifigures were going for 5 USD at my local TRU. That is absolutely insane.
