Were Lego sets always this expensive?


Comparatively, probably so. Sets are a lot bigger now than when we were kids, as you showed later in your post.

Who are these for? My generation who loved Lego as a kid and grew up into fanatics?


Yes. I know a lot of parents my age that buy these big expensive sets to put together with their kids. I think it's more about collecting now as opposed to building based on your own imagination.

I have 4 big bins full of legos from when I was a kid... can't wait for my little man to get old enough to enjoy them. He's in the duplo stage now, so it probably won't be long.

I saw something on the news sometime back about the price collectors pay for certain Lego characters, like the little men.

It was nuts. It's similar to pokemon or baseball card collectors.
