So, I recently posted a picture of the Lego Star Destroyer I recently purchased and subsequently built. It took me somewhere between 12-15 manhours, and that was very much mental work. I had to read pictoral instructions depicting gray plates attaching to other gray plates. The visual work alone was mind-bending. Then there was searching a pile of over 3000 parts for a single one, the mass of repetition involved in building the more decorative portions of the thing.
And when I was done? I hopped on the Lego website and searched for more large legos. Right now I've got a Y-wing coming to me, granted with fewer than half the parts of the Star Destroyer, but nevertheless large and assuredly challenging. Eventually I'd like to spend the $500 on the new version of the Millenium Falcon with over 5000 parts, the largest Lego set ever, and undoubtedly a severe test to my abilities.
Congrats, me. I'm an AFOL now - Adult Fan of Lego.
