It seems Legos have always been expensive. Part of it might be the limited production, but the other might be because they are not made as a throw-away toy. Legos are actually meant to last a long time with the newest bricks supposedly able to work with the earliest. While I had the occasional issue with a bad brick over the years, I have to admit the things are durable.

I have noticed a gradual drop in brick count as compared to prices over the years. It also does heavily depend on what you're getting, the licensed sets always have a higher price to brick ratio but even some of Lego's own brand sets have been ridiculous, especially the new Lego Police sets. Their new 4+ range is also a downright scam. In exchange for getting simpler sets to build you have to pay a wild premium. Some sets with sub 200 pieces cost as much as 40 dollars. It just annoys me, when I was a kid I couldn't buy Lego because I didn't have any money, now that I'm older I still can't buy Lego because it's prohibitively expensive and the value for money simply isn't there.

Oh well, I probably have bigger things to get annoyed over.

You can join me in being extremely mad that nutari calls its abomination a "vcs"!    ????
