A few weeks back, we posted a survey to help learn more about who the Adult Fan of LEGO (AFOL) is.   Today I will be able to share those results with you in a nice illustrated format. Over the five day period, we received 579 replies and collected information from members at Brickpicker as well as help from other LEGO communities including Brickset, BrickFanatics and The Brick Fan. We would really like to thank them for helping to get the word out and collect data from different regions.   It is a rather large graphic below and I tried to compress it has much as possible while keeping it looking nice.  Let me know what your thoughts are and if you anything surprises you.

 

 

I would like to thank TodorKolevDesign for designing the infographic.  Please feel free to hire them if you need any illustrative work done. It was a pleasure to work with them.

Am I the only writer besides Trey Parker who uses legos to write? Didn't even make it on the list...So sad. 

Awesome

Just seeing this now, fantastic!! That`s a good number of people to survey as well, though at some point it might be beneficial to enlist more participants, say several thousand. You`de think the data would still hold up fairly consistently. 

 

Regardless though, this is really great, I love the presentation. There are some quite well off folks in our midst, judging from the income section, not really that surprised when you take a look at some of the posts in the "collection/stockpile" thread. 

 

I`m honestly not surprised at all (I was a couple years ago) that many are interested in collecting primarily, the hobby really is about a personal connection. It`s about being able to materialize these awesome creations whether personal builds or official TLG sets, that`s worth more than making money any day. Sure there`s that too, obviously, but you get my point. Especially those coming out of the dark ages. Anyway, again awesome data and presentation. Thanks very much for sharing with the community!

Well, looks like I need to move to Amazon...
