I'm 40 years old, and I miss playing with Lego.

Off-topic, but I love how they gave him the broken lower helmet in the movie. I don't think I owned a single helmet from that era that didn't eventually get a visible crack in the bottom (plus a few that I deliberately snipped myself so my little Lego guy would look like Boba Fett).
