    What makes Lego a target is how outrageously overpriced the sets are. It's pieces of plastic for heavens sake... I love Lego but not at the prices the kits sell for.

    They are still built with ABS plastic which includes Oil to make the plastic aka LIQUID gold. Its what makes them fit properly when molding.

    Lego almost went bankrupt in 2003. It's because adults have entered the market for Lego, driving prices up since Lego knows adults will spend more money on themselves.

    LEGO consistently costs the same per piece. There is a disney tax but their own lines are still affordable

    Lego needs to put seial number on sets to make tracking thefts easier. If you take away abilty to easily sell stolen sets then it is no longer worth it to steal them.

    There is a noticeable quality difference between lego and other brands and when you factor in licensing fees for star wars, harry potter etc. There is your price

    have you seen how much even the small sets go for these days? And once they do their production run of set, that's usually it. Their value only increases from there.

    2000 sets at 400000$ means each set was worth an avg of 200$. Which is what the large sets cost now.

    They're high quality, and quality controlled and have been for decades, let alone limited-run sets and franchise partners. The first modern-designed brick will fit perfectly with a brick newly produced off the factory line. I tried another construction brick manufacturer once and really came to appreciate LEGO quality. They ARE expensive though, make no mistake.

    I recently watched NBC Nightly News with Lester Holt, where they covered a story about a deficit of batteries for solar power in California. However, the headline misleadingly stated, "There's too much solar power." This is a significant and intentional step of misinformation, which is completely out of character for NBC and Lester Holt. I am appalled and disappointed by this. The real issue is a logistical failure on the part of the industry and government, not an excess of solar power. How could NBC present such a misleading narrative? We still heavily subsidize fossil fuel companies that are harming the planet, and now we're being told that there's too much solar power simply because we haven't built enough batteries in pace with panels? This is a clear case of poor planning and even poorer journalism. NBC needs to correct this misleading statement immediately.
