Next year I'll have one foot in the grave.

What else would Quickblade be?.....22

...Seriously though, at the moment I'm 34. There are quite a few of us born within a year from me I have come to find out and it's refreshing. Not because I felt alone, but because there are others that still have that passion. The only difference is that I still like to "play" and not just build. I have had Lego since 1979, but didn't discover minifigs till 1984 or 85.

Turned 36 in October.

Been on LEGO since before I can remember. First Castle set 375/6075.

Forced LEGO upon my 2 children, but also lead by example

Of course some examples I demonstrate are not the best (BrickLink

)

I have enjoyed LEGO more in these past 5 years than before that.

Agreed! I knew the community of AFOLs was big, but I had no idea it was this big - I REALLY need to get back to the states for one of these brick-cons.

When I was a kid, minifigs didn't have arms or legs...mumble, drool...young whippersnappers! Get off my lawn!

The longer this poll goes on, the older I feel. Looks like I'm in very select company.

I'm 21 years old. I've had Lego for as long as I can remember.

That just means you're much more wise than the rest of us.

I actually don't remember being born, so I do not know. I suppose I could cut myself open and count the rings, but that sounds too painful.

I'm 20 years old(Shocking, I know.

), and I've been collecting/building LEGO since I was 4 or 5, I can't remember exactly.

I am so old that the previously white parts of my body are starting to turn yellow!

It is scary to think that I've had dark ages that are older than some of the members.

Actually, I'm 41... but doesn't my sigfig look great for his age? Looks like I now fall into the old timer category. It is good to see there are 7 of us so far. Although... I have noted the funniest replies have come from the one foot in the grave to dead crowd. A commercial told me that laughing could add 8 years to your life. So keep those posts a comin. I need a good laugh between building MOCs and it may just keep me alive long enough to finish my current project!

Yeah? Well, when I was a child the minifig wasn't invented yet. Oh brother, is this what Charlie Brown would feel like in mid-life? I'm in the last category, though I don't get my small drinks for free at fast food establishments just yet. Though Medicare Part D conversations can't be far off, Good Grief! I am a well-seasoned collector of 30+ years, I have somewhere north of 5000 minifigs, a census is planned for this winter.

I think Josh, Bruce, Alan and I can all remember when the 375 castle came out, and what a bolt from the blue that was!

Wait, dang! I gotta go, I can't find my Centrum Silver.
