20:40 the starwars @-@
its just overpriced because eveyrone wants it thats why. they can jack up the prices and people will pay for it.
3:37 the brown hands messed up my Mosin nagant brickarm
i bought a huge bag end set like 10 years ago for like $35. this price jacking is so ridiculous.
Now if only Pokémon will learn
Before watching the video: There is 0 reason, the sets are becoming less and less creative, the company more and more predatory and the quality is dropping.
I would recommend looking into alternatives like BlueBrixx and MouldKing where you at least get your moneys worth.
Really interesting stuff… Thanks for this!
I have to say that I am a little bit disappointed that the video doesn’t mention once how the overall quality of the parts has dropped over the past few years! Especially when you look at Lego’s competitors who are able to produce at a higher quality and still charge a lower price. Also the lack of innovation is outrageous. There are quite some Lego sets that were actually less detailed and made of poorer quality than the same set from a few years prior and still the price had increased by 30% or more. The overall increase in number of Lego pieces per set unfortunately doesn’t matter when the final product is less advanced than its predecessors and doesn’t justify the current Lego prices.
because western people will eat crap if they can pay for it
Its games like Minecraft that fixed the budget solution
20:46 "Star Wars AdAd" just hurts to listen to 😭
Greed. A 10 second video would suffice just saying they're greedy lol
I remember when i was a kid and a tub of 1000 bricks was $20
Globalism makes things worse. Who would have thought?
This man is so inspiring !!!! Pursue what you love and what makes you feel good, and what has a deep meaning for you, is a strong message ! I never thought of lego that way, as something so deep and as such a way of expressing oneself !! Truly amazing !!
i remember legos in the 90s, I was too busy outside to really care about them… I do remember they were cheap. Even in the early 2000s they were cheap.
I would also steal omg easy money i will get into college no😮
I'm surprised you're not talking about the lawsuit(s) Lego lost. They sued some other company that used a similar brick design, and the judge effectively ruled that because the bricks are not some exclusive IP, the other company was allowed to market and sell brick shaped toys that a consumer could build. Lego then had to pivot and started aggressively licensing Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, and a lot of other IP. I imagine that's probably a big part of the fixed costs in Lego is knowing someone wants to build Hogwarts or the Death Star.
Lego is overpriced it is turned into an investment.
Less than pocket money for the LEGO company
Say what you will about the price-per-piece, I still think it's sad that most of the sets in the Lego aisle at the store are unobtainable for children because of price.
people who hoard for resell really need to get therapy…
😊😊😊😊😊
At-At????
270$ is still to expensive seems as for most people would end up as tots for there kids lmao
There is a limit to how much you can have of anything but you can never have too much Lego.
They could've tackled way more topics about Lego and also there millions of people with a way bigger Lego Collection besides two people just collecting pieces for money.
FUN FACT!! Individual adults, mainly men, are not allowed in Legoland without a child in attendance, however, some locations may host special "adult nights" where adults can visit without children present.
Why so serious
Whats up with this channel and only hiring people with raspy voices
i have a lego pagani under my monitor 🙂
the children have always yearned for bricks: lego and minecraft
imagine LEGO X Warhammer. Easy money hack
I'm an adult fan who's also on the spectrum. Can't afford all the sets, but building Lego has helped with my confidence majorly. When I was younger I couldn't build Lego. My mentality wasn't ready for it yet. But now as an adult I can build anything so long as I have the instructions for them. Now when I complete a larger set it's like a badge of honor or something that I can show off to my friends when they visit. I think it's great. Thank you for the confidence, and memories Lego! Your sets have really improved in the last several years and made it so much more fun.
With the limited selection of Lego sets most of the stores around me possesses the image of it being expensive becomes so much worse. At this point i can only look at them as collector items due to their increased detail and not as building blocks anymore. To me it dampens my creative spirit to build something from those sets a lot. I feel like this video doesn't address the the main point though, just the "price per piece" within a few minutes surrounded by 25 minutes of fluff.
This video didn't even answer the question. How on earth is plastic so expensive, it has to be the least expesnive material to sell. I cannot fathom how one piece of lego is 10 cents. The whole set should cost maybe $5 to produce and if the company wants profit, than maybe sell it for $20, to make $15 profit off each set but no, it costs like $5 to produce and they wanna charge $800.
25:22 that shelf is on life support
I just can't hear the words "brown bricks" without Oney's voice anymore.
@7:45
