LEGO starts crowdfunding campaign for sets aimed at older fans

I'm actually quite surprised Lego would do this. It's not like the market of adult collectors is even close to as profitable as the one aimed at kids and teens.

True, but kids/teens aren’t gonna shell out 500+ dollars on a fish

I designed this quadruped a while ago

I think it'd look neat with a horse skin or something over it if they'd do something similar

There are entire conventions, AFOLs are a powerful force.

Yeah, I went to Brickworld in Chicago as part of a business trip earlier in the year and probably 90% of the displays were adults, they make insane creations consisting of thousands of block. I talked to a lot of retirees and older people who buy almost every new set and love the process of putting them together, and I even enjoy it when I get the time to do so, it's cathartic for me and a lot of other people.
