Two decades for me but only one decade of collecting LEGO.

Interesting. I didn't realise there were so many younger members.
I couldn't predict the size of my lego collection. But it definately isn't big enough.
BTW I'm turning 16... in a soonish timeframe.

Yeah, I was surprised about the number of teens also. Maybe Castle is popular among teens?

My dark ages were when I was around 13-19, and I only occasionally brought out the Lego then. My dad and I did have a huge naval battle with the pirate sets before I moved out, like we did in the old days.

Oh dear, you really do need to get out more!

I'm 31, the Star Wars sets are what got me back into Lego, but the Castle sets are what's kept me here.

The 375 Yellow Castle came out the same year I did.

1988 was a mighty fine year I'd say.

I'm 26 and have been collecting since camo-outpost came out. Those dumb FK, KKI, and Ninja themes sent into a 'too old for this crap' kinda mood and into a 5 year dark age which I now sincerely regret. I've been into space and pirates on and off but always came back to castle. I've now got about 400 castle (and ninja, pirate, SW, HP, you know castley) minifigs and probably a little more (400-450) town and space torsos sitting in my body-bag. Oh and I have around twice my weight in brick and pieces, you guys do the math

Fun topic, makes me feel like I've wasted my life,

21 with 22 around the corner... and the oldest part of my LEGO collection turns 16 at Christmas this year.

It grows so fast.... *sniff* My baby!

Wow, I'm one of only 9 other 40+ members.

I'm still amazed at how Legos have changed. They took the straitjackets off the minifigs!

I stopped counting somewhere after WWI.

Nah, I fall in the latter end of the first category. Good thread.

God bless.

I'm 21 and I have played with lego almost my entire life exept a short dark age when i was around 15.
I hope to become as good as the "older" guys!

I'm 15, 16 in a few weeks.

Shouldn't the pole start at 13-19, not 10-19? You have to be 13 to sign up.
