    That’s my thinking too. The element of creativity is more fun (to me) than following instructions for something someone else designed.

      Sure but some people just enjoy the act of building. They don’t want to be creative necessarily.

        This is exactly why I do it. It’s very zen to just sit, follow directions, and at the end of it, I have something pretty cool. I have other outlets for my creative side.

          Yup, that’s what my SO likes as well. They also really like putting together IKEA furniture. Oddly, IKEA furniture is often cheaper than Legos.

      As a Lego kid, I always built the model per the instructions, held onto it for a bit, then disassembled it and added the pieces to the bin. I liked following the instructions because they gave me assembly ideas. I liked the specialized pieces because they added more options for my own builds.
