Topic: Lego is getting more expensive, why?
I personaly love building big lego sets, that's why i prefer to buy lego sets instead of just buying bricks in websites like bricklink.
The last big lego set i got was back in 2008, it was the Creator Model Town House that came with 1174 bricks for 69.99€, my birthday is getting close, so today i went the online lego store and i saw that the biggest lego creator house for sale was the Hillside house for 59.95€, BUT that house only had 714 bricks. WHAT?? How can i pay so much for something smaller? But it dosent end there, i know people like to buy those big Hard to find sets so i went there to check them, and them i saw the Grand Emporium for 144.95€. At first i though it was amazing and it was a great deal, but them i saw the number of bricks: 2182
Two Model Town House's would cost 140€, just 5€ cheaper than the Grand Emporium but if i did that i would get 2348 bricks. WHAT? It is actually cheaper to buy two Model Town House's that buying the Grand Emporium, with a difference of 166 bricks, i know 166 bricks is not much but it's still bad. Lego sets are getting more and more expensive, and bringing less bricks and a lot of times replacing some with bigger ones.
Lego city sets keeps getting bigger and bigger bricks, why? I mean ins't the point of lego to build new creative stuff? If so, why brigging bigger useless bricks? I have the old lego airport that i took appart a long time ago, it gave me tons of weird glass bricks and a giant set of wings for the airplane, i have no use for those bricks, they just cant be used for something other than a airport. All of this just anoys me.
Can someone please aswer my questions?
