AI6YR BenKGET Bakersfield: 3 people under arrest after allegedly stealing $1M worth of Lego
Falx Cerebri@ai6yr so that’s like, five sets these days, right?
EllenIn Edmonton@falxcerebri @ai6yr Exactly! My grandkids drop 100s of dollars at a time for those things!
Nazo@EllenInEdmonton @falxcerebri @ai6yr I seriously can't understand it. They make these kits that are $100+ each (I guess getting up to 200 these days?) and they only make one single thing.
I hate to drop the "when I was young" line, but seriously, when I was a kid the expensive set was a big bucket full of standard Lego bricks and you made whatever the heck you wanted to. And it didn't cost anywhere near to that much. (I have no idea what it cost, but I do know my parents wouldn't even have thought about $100+)
I mean, a frigging bucket. How is anyone ok with getting a small box with quite a lot of them consisting of pieces you can't really do much else with?
I feel like somewhere along the way people forgot what was even the point of Legos. I don't even get the point of a kit
@nazokiyoubinbou @EllenInEdmonton @falxcerebri Yeah, the beauty of Legos is making your OWN THING, from random blocks. Kits are annoying to me, as well, even though my family likes them (probably, because you don't have to THINK about what you're going to build, you follow the instructions).
@ai6yr @EllenInEdmonton @falxcerebri I really don't get that though. Like why even have them if you're just making whatever the kit is for by instructions?
Besides, model kits are already a thing and a heck of a lot nicer... And apparently cheaper (as insane as that is — they're not cheap by any means at all, just Legos are really getting up there!)
