Thank you John Neal for bringing this up!
If your into the hobby for pleasure, then that’s great!
If you’re into the hobby for profit and profit alone, get out!
These are TOYS were talking about (Although, some very valuable in nostalgic
worth.) lets not destroy Lego with price speculation and ramped collector
buying. This happened to baseball cards and comics a few years back. People
who didn’t care for the hobby simply bought-in to make a quick profit. This
inflation really hurt the industry once the bubble popped. But, the
individuals who were hurt the most were the fans that enjoyed the hobby and
had to endure the astronomical price increase.
If you enjoy Lego, be happy that more people can find enjoyment in these
classic sets!
