This twigged my memory, and reminded me of something I wanted to post, but
never got around to. I had a very interesting conversation with a mom at a
train show recently. She had been asking about the track & how much the
costs were, and I mentioned that it was about $10 US for 8 sections, so a
bit on the expensive side, but most Lego was. She looked at me a bit oddly
(maybe she just expected someone with so much Lego to "know" this) and said:
"Lego isn't expensive."
"The $50 robot dog that my son plays with for a week, and ignores - that's
expensive. Video games are expensive. Toys with play value, that my kids
keep using? They're as cheap as dirt!"
It made me feel better about my spending habits, and re-evaluate how much my
collections costs compared to what I get out of it - and she's right. It's
not expensive.
