Paul B Technic Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 Reading various forums and groups it seems that most people are limited in their involvement in the LEGO hobby by "Time, Money and Space" or a combination of all three. I have created a very simple three question survey to see what the "normal" is for each of these and how different people's situations compare. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/QYD555W Quote
Junior Shark Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 Done! Will you be posting the results of the survey eventually? Quote
hadidi1999 Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 This is great, but you have to separate, the TFOLs from the AFOLs. You know, the TFOLs matter too. Quote
Paul B Technic Posted March 11, 2016 Author Posted March 11, 2016 Thanks for the replies. Yes I will be publishing the results. I decided to keep everybody in the same. Quote
Junior Shark Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 This is great, but you have to separate, the TFOLs from the AFOLs. You know, the TFOLs matter too. Did we take the same survey? Quote
BrickJagger Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 Done. I'm curious to see what the results will show. Quote
AFOLguy1970 Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 All finished. I would add that the term "display space" could mean anything from one shelf in one room to a whole bookcase or more of Lego. Quote
Andy D Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 How do you plan to use the info you collect? Andy D Quote
hadidi1999 Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 Alright, so everyone, TFOLs and AFOLs together, but since the ratio is not equal, the results will be skewed, toward the AFOL side I am pretty sure. Well, took it too, Yesterday. So, how much surveys do expect to be taken, What is the minimum you are waiting for? Quote
Junior Shark Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 (edited) Commas, do not, need to, be used, after every few, words. Well, if there's more AFOLs, then there's more AFOLs. Stop whining. Plus, there were no AFOL-specific questions in the survey. It's a simple three-question survey addressed to all fans of Lego. Edited March 11, 2016 by Junior Shark Quote
Peppermint_M Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 Well, considering this is a website for those 18+, in most territories that is considered adult, then TFOLs shouldn't be a concern to a survey. It will be interesting to see the results charted. I spend a lot of time and have plenty of space for LEGO, but on consideration I do not spend a lot of money averaged over a month. My purchases happen in large lots for prices over £100 in a month. Maybe twice a year. Though I do possibly spend around £20-£30 a month on the odd cheaper set weekly. Quote
Capn Frank Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 I completed the survey. I look forward to seeing the results. This is great, but you have to separate, the TFOLs from the AFOLs. You know, the TFOLs matter too. I don't see why it matters. Eurobricks is a site intended for an adult audience, people of around the age of 18 or greater. Only adult teens should be members, so they would be AFOLS. I don't think there should be any accommodation in the survey to differentiate teens and adults. Quote
hadidi1999 Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 But I mean you know, Young adults, around 23 who don't have a job because they still have not finished studying, well they don't have the money capacity that those with a job have. Quote
Peppermint_M Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 Yes, but Young Adults are not TFOLs. This is polling LEGO fans, a wide range of people from all kinds of places, backgrounds and employment situations. There are some fans who only collect Constraction. Do they require a Bionicle Fan specific survey. Tohe results would be skewed away from a true result if this leaked off to 4Chan and was hijacked. As it is, LEGO fans are being surveyed and so results will probably not be too erratic. Also, please learn how to punctuate correctly. As JuniorShark pointed out above, you do not need that many commas. Quote
hadidi1999 Posted March 12, 2016 Posted March 12, 2016 True, I guess when you see it that way it would work. And I will work on getting the commas down. Quote
dr_spock Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 Results are online now :) Is there a link to the results? Quote
Paul B Technic Posted March 15, 2016 Author Posted March 15, 2016 On the same page as the survey: http://paulstechnic.blogspot.com.au/2016/03/survey-lego-time-money-and-space.html Quote
Junior Shark Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 (edited) Interesting. But not surprising- I voted for all of the winning answers. I guess I'm a typical AHOL. Do you know how many people took the survey? Edited March 15, 2016 by Junior Shark Quote

Junior Shark Posted March 15, 2016 Posted March 15, 2016 Whoa! That's a lot more than I was expecting! Quote
Peppermint_M Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 Interesting really. I spend a little less money on average across a month (annual spend divided over 12 months) but spend a lot more time. I guess as a moderator on a forum, I jump my time spent on LEGO upwards by taking part in the forum. I am lucky that we have a very large loft, I have a dedicated space about the same size as an average home office. It is also interesting that there is a three way split for space. Quote
