My boyfriend buys kits; sorts them in his LEGO room and then builds original creations.

He's done a city of 2-3 foot high buildings, a skyscraper that's about 7.5 feet tall that opens up, an ice castle that lights up.....I could go on and on.

He thinks its not a big deal and doesn't understand why I think it's so cool he can do this.

Is this a unique thing to him or do many serious collectors do this?

I think that is part of it. He is incredibly talented and artistic in this way. He can tinker with stuff and it blows my mind and he's just like "Meh."

He's been collecting since he was 5-6, I believe.

I take every chance I can to tell him he's amazing. Eventually he'll believe me.
