We had an intern apply at my job. He put Magic The Gathering on his resume. We hired him and he's in my department. I eventually broke down and asked him "Alright, you play MTG, but are you any good?"
This motherfucker has been invited to MTG Worlds for nearly a decade! He would join local tournaments in college just to win spending money. He was in Barcelona when Elijah Wood DJ'd the after party.
Find me a Lego guy who's hobby takes them around the world like that and there might be a comparison.
