Am I the only weirdo that collects knives?
Up until I was about 15 I was one such weirdo
Had quite the arsenal ranging from samurai swords to nunchucks to shruiken. Since then most of my collection has been sold, lost or confiscated
However I have also made a point of buying a Swiss Army knife every time I've been to Switzerland (I have 4, not exactly a collection) 0 -

I can see that alright, though lego has gone through a pretty major shift since I was a kid playing with it. Back in the 70's it was less about the building of a particular model and much more about encouraging building your own thing from scratch. A few years back I found this old catalogue from 73 in the attic.Tell me how wrote: »Is looked favourably on as a hobby in some technical industries as it indicates an ability to think in 3D, to follow assembly instructions and to have a passion for designing and building stuff.
The build your own world was much more in play then. There were a lot of generalised large sets of bricks with little or no instructions for particular models(and specialised bricks were rare). It was also less gendered funny enough. And of course there were no movie franchise tie ins either. And it was aimed entirely at kids. Today it's far more about build to instructions specific models and aimed more at adults and "collectability" and display.
The only lego I have in my mound of mad tat is a full set of the first series of Space lego that came out in the late seventies.
For some reason I kept it all and stored it away when lego gave way to looking at girls I did buy one set in the mid noughties, a set I couldn't afford when I was a kid(the biggest spaceship in the range), just to have the complete set. Mad that I am. Haven't built them up in years though. Many worry about Artificial Intelligence. I worry far more about Organic Idiocy.

Definitely how I look at it, and I like normal jigsaw puzzles too
Or atleast not those annoying, every piece is basically the same colour types...
They are some great lego sets, especially the technic sets that have advanced features. Others are advanced/detailed models.
Very relaxing to build, even more so if you knoll the set first.0 -

I didn't realise we were still in secondary school. I'm a woman married to a woman who is mad about lego, so there are grown women LEGO head nerds too. I like to put together a bit of lego myself
