Main thing I'm getting from this is that, like many things, people are more driven by greed (money) than just…having fun? Why buy something that you aren't going to build?
A lot of things went up into ridiculous territory in the past 10 years. Price on used vans became five figures. Of course real estate went up everywhere. Perhaps the low paying interest on accounts by banks had something to do with it…people spent their money instead of putting into savings. And of course, loan rates were historically low. My prediction is Lego will come down in price like everything else as bank rates increase.
Lego is cool n all, but I have to question the adults who obsess over it. Instead of playing with and obsessing over children's toys, go instead and start a family. I promise you your children will love it more than you and you will be so much happier sharing your enthusiasm with them than being an old lonely weirdo who keeps it all to himself. Your Legos will not make you happy in your old age, your family, children, friends are what actually matter. The connections and the meaningful memories you shared are be what you will value and look back on in the end.
Imagine being Justine's kids….. So many LEGO sets but they aren't allowed to play with them. She is a scalper, no matter how you portray her. LEGOs are supposed to be played with. They are supposed to help grow your imagination, patience, perseverence, and allow you to have fun.
20:43 Okay, for one, it's one of the most timestamps replayed, and secondly, the video was mildly interesting until the narrator called the AT-AT an "at at" xD No offence, it's just funny, and also understandable not being familiar with the franchise and the terminology 🙂
To my knowledge what also saved the company was to enter into the digital world (movies, games…). I cannot fully agree with how they try to justify their very high prices. Of course as the market leader they can be the most expensive ones but what is not ok that the quality is sometimes worse than from the much cheaper competitors. Lego uses even on very expensive sets cheap stickers instead of printing the details on the bricks and as well quite often the colour quality is not the same from different pieces of the same colour. For example COBI which is also an European brand, has on all sets only prints, top quality and all made in EU and still it is much cheaper than Lego. If Lego is number one and so expensive, then at least be the best on the market. But as long as the fanboys buy whatever they sell, nothing will change. Don’t get me wrong, I love and loved Lego but this is what I see.
3:25 – can u imagine? No for sex life and family – yes, for lego bricks. edit: Lego Atad O_o I don't like/intrested in Star Wars, and I know its A – T – – – A – T not Atad!

How did we get from $270 to $800? Inflation.

lego is the most useful toy for a child. By far
Having a child play lego is almost the equivalent of having him study math and geometry
Interesting spin. Good deep dive.
