In a world dominated by screens, the throwback, nostalgic nature of Legos, that are designed to be assembled with printed instructions — sans a mobile phone, televesion, or laptop — is refereshing.

Like reading a good printed novel, biography, or educational book, Legos don’t need a power source. They use your brain, they’re good for your brain, and they’re free of electronics, and I would argue make you feel much better than activites that require electronic screens.

Combining Star Wars with Legos, allows the two mega-brands to combine their powers and the result is a an adult toy, (rated 18+), that you have to build (each one takes approximately 2-4 hours) depending on how fast you go and the number of bricks, and at the end, you have something that’s a displayable keepsake.

Not to mention, depending on the condition and specific model — all the Star Wars Lego Helmets shown, Scout Trooper, Darth Vader, Boba Fett, and Storm Trooper, are retired) — some Lego sets are collectible. Not at the same scale as luxury watches, however, they do tend to command higher premiums than they cost, especially for good condition, unopened boxes, of the most coveted references.

Collecting aside, Legos are fun to build, even as an adult. Perhaps even more so as an adult.

Building them can be frustrating, although, which adds to the enjoyment, although no where as intensive and cumbersome as assembling watches can be.

For the reasons listed above, Legos (of all types), especially Star Wars helmets, might be a fun diversion for the same types that collect watches, and that read Professional Watches.
