Tariq j Posted July 18, 2013 Hi, as said in the title have you ever got or introduced someone into Lego? I had a friend at school who I introduced Lego too. Obvously Lego is known around the world however lots of people really don't know how good lego is! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Leo604 Posted July 18, 2013 Do siblings count? Cause if so you could say I got my brother into it when he started to play with my old ones. Most of my childhood friends were already familiar with it when I met them so nothing there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain_Rex Posted July 18, 2013 Do siblings count? Cause if so you could say I got my brother into it when he started to play with my old ones. Most of my childhood friends were already familiar with it when I met them so nothing there. I got my sister into LEGO when she was younger. She mainly likes building the sets. Her favorite themes include Creator and City. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheLegoDr Posted July 18, 2013 I have definitely got a lot of people interested in LEGO, but that isn't to say they want to go out and buy/build sets. But they say they never had interest in it as children, but now that they see what I can do with the bricks (and the sets that are released) they are much more impressed and much more interested in the idea of LEGO. I did get a few of them hooked on the LEGO video games, so that's a start. And then their kids got into LEGO through playing with my kid...the infection spreads quickly...

Bubble Posted July 18, 2013 (edited) I got my older cousin into LEGOs, even if now she only has like 5 sets. Edited July 18, 2013 by Bubble Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blondie-Wan Posted July 19, 2013 I got my girlfriend into LEGO. We were both about to turn forty when we met a little over five years ago, and like most thirty-nine-year-olds she didn't have any particular interest in it, but as we got to know each other my own passion for it seems to have rubbed off on her, and now she has quite a few LEGO sets of her own, along with her own particular areas of building interest. As it happens, we just recently each gave the other some LEGO, just in the past few weeks (as we've each just turned forty-five within the last month, having been born a few weeks apart in 1968).

Bob De Quatre Posted July 19, 2013 I'm actively working to get my best friend's son to Lego... He'll be 3 in two weeks, but I started offering him Duplo since last year. As he loves the Car franchise, it's easy to corrupt him with the duplo Cars sets... Still I fear he might fall to the Playmobil, or even worse, the Megablocks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hive Posted July 19, 2013 I managed to turn both my adult sister as well as my girlfriend to "the dark side". In fact, my girlfriend has been using my LEGO more than I have myself recently. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vincent Kessels Posted July 19, 2013 My colleague called me last Saturday from a Lego shop. She wanted to know if the PetShop was a good first set to buy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vincent Kessels Posted July 20, 2013 Vincent, So what did you tell her...Pet Shop or something else? Glad you got that call! Yes, she bought it. Sundays I got a text message asking if it was normal if she had a few parts left over. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SheepEater Posted July 21, 2013 (edited) My 8 year old niece, I guess. She had already played with my large town sets when Lego Friends came out, but really started getting her own sets with that line. My 11 year old nephew is getting bored with Lego, unfortunately.

Blast Posted August 3, 2013 Never really occurred to me lol my family don't really have an interest apart from my cousin. As for my friends majority of them don't collect Lego however if you give them a Lego set it's not like they wouldn't touch it haha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CustomJoe_MD Posted August 5, 2013 (edited) Four cousins and counting, the father of two of them curses me every family gathering. My baby cousin wasn't even born and already had a Batcave to his name. My Neighboors kid also but only the videogames, do those count? This one was an accident, they did me a solid when I needed, and I had an extra batman game in a format I couldn't use and gave them that one, and so a new lego fan was born.
