Hoping for an excuse to play with them, again?
"Honey, I'm pregnant."
"YAY! MOAR LEGOS!!!"

lol, I kid.

But more seriously, that's probably why they maintain value. A 30 year old lego brick is just as good and useful as one you bought this afternoon. As you said, they are indeed timeless. Almost literally.
And for someone who collects legos, they're never a bad gift. "Oh, I don't like Pirates... hey, I'll use the pieces from this other set and make it into a speedboat!" and simular things.
