Step two. So let’s start with the question why Legos?
Like many children of my generation I leveled up from basic toys that could sing and spin with many shiny moving parts to be thrown into the joyous world of Legos.
While my brother built machines in preparation for battle with this cubic rainbow world, I saw an opportunity to grow something. The pile of bricks was like a celestial soup just waiting for some ones will to form it into whole worlds of imagination. My fathers’ generation of Lego sets contained basic colors and an encouragement to explore new possibilities. Newer Lego sets are more devious with sets based on movies, games or Lego company adventures, so that you can’t be satisfied until you own the whole set. But what does that lead to? I’ve had the Harry Potter troll in the bathroom scene in Legos sitting in my room since I first put it together. Why you ask? Because when you buy the set for a droid ship and you build it, what next? It’s huge, its taken hours of your life. How can you just break that down, mixing it into the obscurity of Lego soup? Instead my brother and I had a sort of cycle where once something was built it sat out long enough for us to stop feeling bad about the idea of tearing it apart and then promptly proceeded to do just that. But just to be clear this doesn’t always work. Take for example my find while organizing Legos for this blog.
My brother and my reaction? Not to tear it apart but put it back to together so it can continue to sit and look pretty. Legos are trophy wives. I’m sad too but luckily “with the hands we will destroy and with these hands we will rebuild.” You hold the power. This blog seeks to take our beautiful wives off of the shelf, stop paying dues to the country club and make stories from the broken down pieces of our childhood trophies. Sounds epic no? Well this blog is really supposed to be funny so can I just be immensely bother by the following image from the Lego store?
Why do we need a separate section?
So here we go, taking back legos.
