>>11646204>I would like to talk to people over 25-30 whose rooms are often filled with toys that they started collecting back in the 2000-2010s.It's similar to playing an old videogame - It brings me back to an earlier era that I remember fondly, and mentally revisiting it brings me some joy. The older I get the less I view modern toys with a lens of "I wish they'd bring back my childhood" and more "I'm glad kids these days get cool stuff".
It's nice to take a break from thinking about the issues my adult life is facing and gawk at some AFOL's MOC or work on my own project. Collecting toys and doing things with them can be a nice hobby and gives you something to show other people and talk about. Going to Brickworld during the summer let me talk to other enthusiasts and see some really cool stuff.
tl;dr it's good to stay in touch with your long lost inner child and it's also a nice hobby to have
