Yes, they aren't cheap here either. I gave 2 buckets to a neighbour's grandchild but I will never part with our Lego or our £150 collection of Brio and Tesco wooden rail and train track.
I think it depends on what you build
I'm not that familiar with lego
but being in your 50's
it would have to be something big
something spectacular
otherwise
no
it's not ok

The shops are awash with cheap (very cheap) Brio copies from China.
Seems the Chinese cannot copy Duplo though!

There was an "Art Installation" at Dunedin Art Gallery last year made up of a gazillion white lego bricks.
Members of the public were encouraged to build/amend/demolish whatever they liked.

I had to be dragged away by my wife! :-)
LOL...Did she drag you away while you were kicking and screaming! 😉
No nothing wrong with playing Lego, there is also adult colouring that has become popular. Calms and relaxes people. From what I see a lot of folks on here should be doing that. 😉
