I’d like to voice agreement with this. Personally, I drop about ~$20 on LEGO every pay day. I don’t drop more as I can afford more each pay day, and I dont save up to buy more expensive sets. For me, $20 is the line where I can buy something without having to save up or as an impulse buy (both online and in RL). Stuff more than $20, and I’m gonna have to seriously evaluate whether I need the pieces or not.

If these were in the $10-20 range, I’d have bought one or two a payday until I had all that I wanted. Now, I’ll prolly grab one and hope the rest go on sale eventually. Either that or I get hired at a better place ;o)

(...) SNIP (...) SNIP This is an example of unwise marketing/pricing on the Lego Co.'s part (IMHO). To make these more widely accessible, the sets should have been sold per individual winner (just the pirate ship, just the Statue of Liberty, etc.) (...)
