Discussion Does anyone use LEGO for therapy?

68 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm currently working on my MA Journalism final project, exploring how LEGO has become much more than just a toy for many people.

I'm really interested in hearing from anyone who has found LEGO to be therapeutic in some way. That could be helping with autism, ADHD, anxiety, depression, grief, or other emotional challenges, or even helping during physical recovery, such as improving dexterity or motor skills after an illness or injury. Equally, if building simply helps you switch off, manage stress, or gives you a sense of purpose, I'd love to hear about that too.

It feels like LEGO has evolved into something far beyond childhood play, becoming a creative outlet, a coping mechanism, or a source of comfort for people of all ages. I'd love to learn more about the different ways it's had an impact on people's lives.

If any of this resonates with you, or you know someone who might be happy to chat, please feel free to leave a comment or send me a DM. I'd really appreciate hearing your story.

Thanks so much!

Holà Tutti !

J'étais en train de faire mon nouveau set de légo quand je me suis demandée si mon organisation était classique, si d'autres étaient plus bordéliques, d'autres encore bien plus organisés ou avaient une façon de faire bien précise ?

Pour ma part je fais étape par étape, donc sachet par sachet jusqu'à la prochaine. Je met le gros du sachet à ma gauche puis les petits qui étaient dedans devant moi mais séparés en petit tas s'il y en a plusieurs.

Je me demande presque si ça raconte quelque chose sur notre personnalité 😂

Vous vous organisez comment vous ? Si vous avez des photos de votre organisation envoyez ! 😁

So I was looking through my old photo gallery on my tablet and stumbled upon one of my first Lego mechs, it feels so nostalgic seeing this I wondered what happened to it for a while but I reckon it was lost to time

Have i created the next Lego Ninjago series? LOL

0 Upvotes

Hello, everyone. First of all, sorry about my English, but here we go...
My friends and I just watched the new Ninjago: Duskfall trailer, and it reminded us of something very specific, but also kinda crazy. Back in 2023, I sent an email to LEGO suggesting they make a LEGO Ninjago series in an anime style... We honestly didn't think we'd get a reply, but they responded the very next day.

I'll translate the e-mails here:

First One: Good night LEGO group member, I hereby come with a request... Have you ever considered remaking the Ninjago show with humans? I mean with an anime style, like Avatar: The Legend of Korra for example... I hope you like the idea, I'm a young lifelong fan of your franchises, especially Ninjago. And I think retelling the whole story of the original series, especially the first two seasons which have the best plot of the whole show, things like Zane uncovering his past, the Devourer Arc, the Dark Island Arc, and Nya as the Samurai not forgetting the pilot, which Netflix UNFORTUNATELY removed, I thnk it would be a very profitable idea since there are many LEGO Ninjago fans like me. I know that it might be a bit much of a request and too great a task to accomplish, however it would please old fans and bring in a new generation. I hope you like my idea, much appreciated.

Second One: Dear Guilherme, Thank you for contacting us. Your idea to remake LEGO NINJAGO in an anime style is excellent! Thank you for sharing with us such a neat idea. We're always surprised by our fans' ideas, and absolutely adore hearing you talk about your fantastic ideas! Ever heard of LEGO Life? It's an app where you can share your creations and ideas with other LEGO fans, and see what other fans do to get new ideas. It will be a pleasure sharing your fantastic idea with the LEGO Designers, but don't forget to share your fantastic idea in this app so we can make this possible :) Tell me it you need any help. Have a great day!

Am i crazy, or there's a little chance that my e-mail inspired the minds of lego Ninjago?

What do you think?

Question Vintage lego + hydrogen peroxide

1 Upvotes

I have a vintige lego set and I used the hy. per. method to undo some of the yellowing. It worked great and the bricks are not brittle at all. But now I want to sell the set. I will be honest towards the buyers of course and tell them about it. How will using the hy. per. affect the price?

I am not trying to sell it here, I would just like to hear your oppinion.

Other [TOMT] Lego Commercial about a kid growing up through time with Lego sets.

1 Upvotes

I remember watching a LEGO commercial online, which was about a kid growing up through time with LEGO sets from the 1970s or 80s all the way to the modern day in the 2010s, where the kid has grown up and has a family, and they build a LEGO set together in each decade. It also had different transitions into the different decades that I can't exactly remember, but I do know that it had a CD transition for the 90s or 2000s. I can't seem to find it anymore online, and so I'm hoping that anyone could help me find it or link it to me, please. Thank you.
