While LEGO caters to all ages today, it wasn't long ago that sets were designed exclusively for children. Adult fans have always existed, but dedicated adult-oriented sets are relatively new.
This shift creates challenges for parents selecting LEGO sets for kids. Historically, age ratings reflected building complexity, but modern 18+ labels can indicate:
- Thematic appropriateness for adults
- Display-focused rather than play-focused designs
- Durability concerns for rough child play
