You can still get regular sets. My 5 year old has a bunch of sets that we bought that weren't expensive at all. You just have to let your 4 year old know that that avengers set isn't going to happen.

Good point, except that it's already wrapped...

There's a whole neck beard collective who turn to jelly every time a new Lego set comes out. My kids started ok with Legos but hated them quickly because they couldn't PLAY with the finished product. So we had a few expensive sets that literally got broken and a piece missing (they're all special pieces to that set now)so basically they all just ended up in tubs. They still had fun just dicking around and building stuff, but really the sets are only for neck beards unless you like building expensive stuff to have it get dropped by your kid who just wanted to actually play with it.
Now that they're in their late teens, the only toys they held on to were the nerf guns. We had some epic battles on rainy days between nerf guns and balled up socks.

Cannot tell you how many psychos we ran across that were OCD about their kids never losing a piece to a 1000 piece set
I’m in that category. I got to the point where I buy two of each, and keep one sealed and let the boy ruin the other.

Well, that's not true. As others have said, they make specialty pieces only for certain sets.

Were Lego sets always this expensive?
Where have you been? Legos have been expensive for awhile now. I don't buy sets much anymore. I have some in storage that have been discontinued that I could probably get two grand or more for.

Nah, I'll help him build it once and then let him destroy it and move on from there.
I guess he needs some sort of storage bucket too, huh?

Walmart has some insane sales on the big sets, if you catch them at the right time. Up to 50% off.
You can also find foreign knockoffs of the same sets on eBay or aliexpress. Not quite the quality of Lego, but a third of the price.

Legos were always expensive. That’s why my rich friend had all the big sets and I didn’t.

Remember when kids used their imaginations?
Do you have kids? Kids do build these kits, and most don't just put them on the shelf. They learn principles of construction from the kits they get to use on other things they build.
There are tons of videos of amazing Lego machinery out there. You'd be fairly amazed at the stuff kids (including my own) are able to fabricate on their own.

As an avid lego builder, the level of detail in some of these sets is pretty fantastic. Voltron was a lot of fun, took me and my 8 year old a few days to build. Saturn V was a load of fun. I’m going to buy the Shuttle Discovery soon.
I was a model builder as a kid, and I loved Legos, so having these superb sets now is a fun development. It’s very relaxing for me to do.

Legos are dumb now. What happened to the days of putting a bunch of random blocks together and using your imagination to build something? Now it’s like putting together a kids bike with instructions.
I think you don’t realize that both of these happen
My 8 year old likes to buy a lego set to put it together according to the instructions and then once he’s done and it’s sat there for a week or two he lets his little brothers destroy it and then the pieces go in a giant lego tupper ware container we have.
All three of them are constantly building random creative things from the pieces that once came in sets with instructions
