Just because it doesn't list your age for this "toy" doesn't mean you're too old for it. I recently bought a Ferrari F430 set to display on my book shelf. I could play with Legos for days when I was a kid.

I have the entire Ferrari Lego set in my gaming room. I love lego sets based on cars of any kind (yet i know almost nothing about 'real' cars).
Anyway this cake is great.
It's so delicious and moist

I loved Lego, when I was a kid birthdays and xmas brought technical lego kits. I have looked at the 'collectors' kits like the star wars and ferrari, and then the cost... Never too old, after all how many time have you said you fly kites to be told thats a childs toy..
