Head designer Fiorella Groves (2nd person being interviewed) explains why she enjoys making adult LEGO: "Designing for adults is particularly interesting compared to designing for kids, because you're spending so much time reliving memories in that nostalgic lane". She continues by talking about "designing emotional hooks that really mean something for the consumer at the other end".
