The first mass produced $1000(ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS) Lego set. Will this set the stage to become the new normal? Is this the future of toys?
What's the most money you ever paid(or would be willing to pay) for a toy?

>>11523333 (OP)
>are increasing prices the future of toys?
Where have you been anon of course toys are going to keep getting more and more expensive. I don't really understand the sudden outrage over this desu I mean they've been doing sets from $700-900 which was already unreasonable. For those willing to pay those prices, what’s a couple hundred more?

>>11523338
>toys are going to keep getting more and more expensive
only for the branded license shit for drooling retarded onions boys

>>11523338
>Where have you been anon of course toys are going to keep getting more and more expensive
The average person can't keep up. Toys are becoming luxury items for rich folk

>>11523344
Soon being homeless and living in a cardboard box will also become a luxury

Humanity is doomed

its a really big toy, what did you expect?

>>11523423
It should have never existed in the first place

>What's the most money you ever paid(or would be willing to pay) for a toy?
Ironically, $400 for the old Lego Death Star.

>>11523460
>$400
I thought it was $500?

>>11523333 (OP)
Lego is one step above Funko Pops, and those fags will pay any price.

>>11523447
>I can't afford it so you shouldn't be allowed to have it
it's crazy just how pervasive and influential this mindset is these days. We used to call it envy, and it wasn't a good thing

>>11523643
>I can throw away money, this means that it's ok for me to do it thereby making things more expensive for the average consumer

You're the reason why rent is higher than ever. It's a fucking toy, if I wanted to pay 1k for something I'd buy a luxury watch. If dumbasses like you justify paying whatever companies want to charge for shitty products, they'll keep raising the prices until no one buys them and then the company implodes on itself. kys

The 2016 re-release version was $500.

The original 2008 set was $400

>>11523671
>strawman
notice how you compare it to rent, a necessity. you expose your consumerist brainrot, you treat it as an inevitability that you WILL buy it sooner or later, which is why the price burns you up so much. You KNOW you'll buy it, no matter the price, so you get angry over how much money you're going to lose. Zero impulse control, like a trained seal.
Meanwhile, I'm not gonna buy it. so it can cost a thousand dollars or a hundred-thousand and it makes no difference, because precisely zero of it will be coming out of my wallet regardless.

Since it's half a sphere, is it safe to assume that retards will spend $2K to buy this set twice and combine them?

>>11523682
Never mind, it's an apartment complex

At what point do they just fuck off the ""cheaper"" sets and just commit to having Star Wars be another podcast background decoration theme and stop pretending it's a kids toy?

>>11523333 (OP)
Where is the value?

>>11523333 (OP)
>9000 pieces
I bet 3000 of them are fucking small ass tiles.

C'mon bro! Look! They're even throwing in Grand Supreme advisor Fartdik Slapnutz! Remember him? He's an EXTREMELY important character who some of you REAL fans might remember made a very small, one panel appearance in the original Marvel comics run. He was responsible for picking out the color of Emperor Palpatine's chair! Can you even imagine watching episode VI with seeing emperor Palpatine's iconic chair!? No but in all seriousness this guy is probably gonna go for like $200 on bricklink....

It's hilarious how badly they're cheaping out on the figs in a 1000 dollar set. I'm not even the kind of person who spazzes out about dumb shit like waistskirts and dual-molded legs (personally I think those legs usually look stupid) but I'm completely unimpressed by the quantity and selection of figs. The set has what, 38 figures? Really not a lot when you consider the overall price. Considering how all-out this set should be, a couple extra pieces of plastic shouldn't be much to ask for. There should've been enough troopers and officers to fill out the landing pad. And there should've been several of those glub shitto imperial advisors rather than just one. This thing really should be packed to the gills with content.

>What's the most money you ever paid(or would be willing to pay) for a toy?

Believe it or not this

The last MP prime is about the same asking price as this, but I said no way in hell for that (who cares about the trailer) and ended up with a KO

But this guy I say it it Worth it for getting 7 figure.

I can only pray they won't fuck up the QC

>>11524053
Isnt this that scam haslab shit?
If released at retail would be no more than $150 but hasbro being lying greedy jews say that stores wouldn't stock it, that you need to pay a kickstarter for it then pay over $500-800 for a product which probably only cost them $20 to make

Hasbro charge over 130 for ss86 prime.
A ko company releases the same item for 25 and it comes with improvements

It's just fucking greed

you can get a pretty good 3D printer and materials for 1000 bux

>>11523333 (OP)
literally this scene from Squid Game

>>11524030
what;s your point? did they miss any important characters? why not throw in the glup shittos?

>>11524030
congrats, Lego.
you have successfully discovered how to sell tiny plastic figures for HUNDREDS of dollars each.

Lego owns Bricklink, and the conspiracy theory says they hustle pieces out of the Mexico factor themselves, as invisible random vendors.

you get excited, and thankful even, that you can score the one Gulp Shitto for "only" $75!!! far better than a full $1000!

but you still spent $75 (or more) on a little plastic figure. they also sell those in boxes for $5 each

the only reason this Death Star doesn't have 50 Stormtroopers is to maintain the illusion that the minifigs are worth more than the rest of the plastic.

>>11524053

Same here. Almost caved and spent 500 on Unicron, but talked myself out of it.

>>11524056
>Hasbro charge over 130 for ss86 prime.
He's 90. If you paid more than that its because you bought it from someone who overcharged.

>>11523671
you're an idiot. this is regular lego pricing. nobody is raising the prices here.

>>11523333 (OP)
How big is it when assembled?

>>11524970
Leaks said 70cm width 79cm length 27cm depth

would've been kino if they just kept releasing those small diorama sets of the death star scenes individually, but made them modular so they could be hooked together

>>11523688
the playset is more complete than this for half the price. what the fuck are they thinking?

>>11523678
How did they manage actual sphere shaped Death Stars for half the price?

>>11524980
the entire thing is tiled off with a million 1x1 tile pieces. This increases the part count considerably. That will be 999.99 + tip

>>11523333 (OP)
>adults are gonna buy literal dollhouse just because it’s in a black box and it says 18+ on it

>>11524976
They are doing this for the Potter Hogwarts castle

>>11525356
That's a great example, also of course the lego city modulars are this concept from the very start. Star Wars gets absolutely shafted when it comes to actual buildings or locations

>>11524975
oh baby yes
