How much time do you spend on Lego?

[Darth Hawken]

I was just curious to know what is the average time you spend on Legos a day if at all?

I suppose most of the members of EB are AFOL's and have jobs yet TFOL's have school too so most people are occupied most of their day.

I just wanted to know how much time you devote to legos on an average day. For me I would say in a day I spend 3-4 hours or none at all in a week about 10-20

Also what is your build rate and how long does it take you to make a creation? For myself I build slowly and take my time focusing on the details.

I'm guessing about 89 hours a week or so, mostly on lego tanks and WWII soldiers. 3 to 5 hours per each creation.

Usually 3 or 4 hours a night or zero hours a night. Probably average 15 hours a week.

[sok117]

I average around 7 hrs a week if im lucky, as a TFOL Its really hard balancing school and freetime, I'm currently building sets for an upcoming brickfilm (my first one)

[dr_spock]

I don't watch TV, so an hour or two here and there on a quick build or MOC.

[Tereglith]

It really depends on what else I'm doing that week, and what inspiration hits me. I'll often spend four hours during an afternoon/evening doing a rough form of an MOC and then spend a couple hours through the rest of the week tweaking it, but that'll use up all of my LEGO-ish creativity for the time being. I average two small to medium-sized MOCs every three weeks that I put a lot of time into getting right.

[prateek]

If EB counts, then I'll say around 10 hours a week.

[Modulex Guy]

Being in college, finding time to build is scarce. on a weekday I can build for about 15 minutes to half an hour a day. On a weekend if I do not have a paper to type then I can sit and build for 3 to 5 hours.

[Legoist]

So little that it's hard to estimate In January I spent only a couple of evenings, probably 4-5 hours altogether. I am just so busy in higher-priority issues that not much is left for Lego.

89 hours/week - impressive considering a week consists of 168 hours. I guess you have enough money so you don´t have to work.

I think about 5 hours a week now, haven´t got my new Lego room set-up yet .

Keep working CM, and you will get there!

I will come and help you out 22-26th in this month. Load up on RedBull prepare all the pieces you want to be sorted

and we will have some crazy sorting!

I would say right now I spend around 10 houers on LEGO every week right now.

This time is mostley for sorting up my collection. Will pretty soon be all done once and for all!

Til I buy new things

Never ending project

[Big Cam]

If you count Eurobricks, I'd say about 20 hours a week.

Otherwise I don't get into my collection as often as I'd like.

[Clone OPatra]

Well, usually my time spent on LEGO equals my time spent on Eurobricks these days. Sometimes I get/make time to put together old sets, take pictures for reviews, sort, etc. but on average it's just Eurobricks. Since I spend at least one to two hours a day on Eurobricks (probably), that's at least ten to fourteen hours a week.

Wow. How I wished I could join you.

That sounds sooo familiar. I'm currently changing my sorting system from color-wise to brick-wise. Still I think I can easily use double of the space I have got right now.

[Davey]

I'd have to guess I spend about 1-2 hours a night (7-15 hrs/week) down in 'The Lair' on average. Some weeks it will be more (like when we are leading up to a show) and some will be less. Creations usually take me anywhere from a couple hours to many months depending on what I am building. A lot of times if I get 'builders block' I will go back and 'tweak' old MOC's to make them better. It just depends on my mood.

I spend about 15 minutes each day on average. I'm really busy these days and don't have much time for lego.

Actually I spend 72 hours non stop, but now I have to go college to do something in the words of my father, "Get a job, grow up and earn your own money!" My time doesn't involve buying as it is modding my old sets.

What do you mean non-stop? Does this mean you spend three straight days without sleep or break dedicated to modding and doing LEGO related things? And also what do you mean "but now…", does that mean you're in college now so you actually aren't going 72 hours nonstop? Please stop and think in order to word your posts coherently, because this is very confusing.

[Daniel Williams]

Sorry, what I meant was 7 hours non stop and 2 hours posting pics here, I'm now going to have to focus on college because the semester starts soon. I'm sorry if my last post sounded weird.

[def]

Usually about 4-5 hours a week or less. I spend more time here than I do on the hobby.

[Piranha]

Depends what time spent means

Thinking about LEGO- all the time

Looking at LEGO- most of the time

Building LEGO- Rarely, only when I get set

Browsing EB- Alot of the time

[RileyC]

Um I browse Eb a lot probably. Once when I get up, when I come home from school, before dinner and sometime after dinner and bed time. I have all my lego in my room and I do look and hold it at least twice a day. I dont really build mocs that much because I dont have a lot of pieces to moc but I do like to play with a few bricks twice a week at least.

[Captain Blackmoor]

Interesting!

While school and work takes a lot of time I still have some time left.

At least 3 hours a day, in the weekends I'm able to reach 10 hours. Rest of the time I play some games, being active on EB and if the weather is good I'm hanging around outside.

I would be a rich man if I would get money for every hour I build with LEGO!

If that's what you meant, you sure did make alot of perfect typing errors. Somethings fishy here.

You never diferentiated in the forst post that some was MOC'ing and other posting pics. Huh.

I'm confuse with what you all said from the first post to the last. Big difference with 89 hours to 7 hours

But glad you clarifed things up a bit.
