A lifetime LEGO Fan. Join me as I collect and play with LEGO!
Hi, I'm Greg and I'm an Australian AFOL. What is an AFOL? The term “AFOL” means “Adult Fan Of LEGO”.
In the early days of seeing LEGO in the online hobby community, there was a visible divide between those that “child fans” and those that were the oddball “adult fans”. This was because LEGO was seen as a kids toy and not something adults could enjoy.
AFOLs are those of us that grew up with LEGO and never let go. We enjoyed it as kids and many of us have rediscovered it as adults - I'm one of them! In my case I have come out of my "dark ages" - a period where I didn't really do anything with LEGO.
What people do with LEGO varies. Some like to just see if things will float or crash them. But other - myself included - like to focus on the creativity and play side of LEGO. We enjoy creating stories in LEGO through our own LEGO City and MOCs (My Own Creation) builds.
I call myself an Australian AFOL because I live in Australia. Although technically I'm also an English AFOL as I'm English.
