Hello!

Of course it is! Why do you think would anybody sell $200 to get a
#6067? To complete their collection only. If you want to play you can
build way better MOCs! You don't need a set that costs several hundreds
$$.

I couldn't agree more!
I for myself don't care much about the value. But I like rare sets
though. Simply for "having" them :-)

No need! They can order parts in bulk at S@H and the kid builds his own
Inn. Remember: It's a construction toy ;-)
And: Children ain't the only target of LEGO's marketing strategy any
more. Newadays there are many sets that are constructed for us Adult
Fans of LEGO. And so are the "Legends". I generally appreciate this
development but not at all.
