I set out to become a better AFOL-the official term for an Adult Fan of Lego-and along the way I discovered many more acronyms, like-minded communities, buying hacks, storage and resale tips, and even free software for virtual building. I don’t want to be this person though, so I decided it was time to embrace the more-inclusive and imaginative side of my hobby. I revel in the feeling of control Lego provides, but does that make me the villain in The Lego Movie? A grown-up who freaks out if a child tries to play with my displays? I don’t have kids of my own, but I’ve already picked out a few “distraction sets” to hand off to my friends’ young’uns so they’ll stay away from the more-elaborate builds in my office. But not because I was buying toys-I worried that I wasn’t being creative enough.

Lego has excellent resale value, so I convinced myself that each purchase was an investment, as well as therapy and a reality diversion all rolled into one pretty, rattly package. Until the pandemic, when the halt in traveling or dining out or even buying clothes suddenly left me with some extra funds to begin building a collection big enough that storage became an issue. But I considered myself a casual collector at best. In addition to Star Wars sets, I also adored anything with a spooky theme, like the Monster Fighters series and the Scooby-Doo line. And from then on I’d pick up a couple of new releases each year for the memory trip.
1 That specific licensing, combined with the soothing nature of building the sets, was a double dopamine hit of nostalgia for this ’80s kid.
This item is known as the 1x1 Crystal 5 point and can be found in a number of LEGO sets, especially Power Miners-related sets (where the Rock Monsters come from).
There are no unique animations associated with holding Crystals.
They are held in the right hand and serve only as Quest items for many Characters and Creatures. There is a 1x1 stud hole on the bottom to hold onto them (as they cannot be placed in the world). Each Crystal is a single-piece irregular-shaped transparent object in one of six colours: Blue, Green, Red, Orange, Yellow and Clear.
