They problem isnt just "Adults" it's specifically the "Investor Bros" who come in to the hobby treating Lego sets like a cryptocurrency. They are only in it as long as they can make a tidy profit off their resell / scalping schemes. There is no genuine interest in the art of building or the community.

The problem is that adults don't really appreciate lego as sets, they use it as a new currency now

I never understood buying sets just to resell them. Yeah, you can make good money, but you could invest in stocks or get a job or side gig. Why ruin someone else’s fun? I started buying just parts to get back to my creative roots, and it was such a breath of fresh air. Doing my own alternative builds, combo models, completely original stuff feels like a bit of a lost art among anyone who isn’t a professional or long-time moc builder.

Man I hate scalpers. They ruin hobbies for both kids and adults. I will admit I tend to build sets to just display them, but every once in a while I'll still use them like toys, whether it be running the lego coasters I have, rearranging my Animal Crossing town, or just swooshing a starfighter every so often.

I live off disability and I rarely buy LEGO because of how expensive most of the good sets are. Not to mention, I’ve had the bad luck of going to stores with missing sets that have been bought in bulk or stolen. I really wish we could expel the bad actors of the AFOL community. These people really make our community look bad. I hate resellers because they take away all the fun from us.

This is why we can’t have nice things. Lack of morals and no foresight.

It’s so refreshing to finally see someone with the same opinion on Lego leaks! Whenever I would talk about not being hyped for new Lego sets anymore, everyone would dismiss my feelings so I had to cave an accept that I will never experience the excitement of seeing a Lego set for the first time on shelves again. It’s almost like getting a movie spoiled before you watch it.

I swear it is only starwars at my Walmart. All the Starwars are covered and held captive behind plastic. The rest of the sets are free though.

Kirk (Legos Founder) would be so dissapointed onto how lego is made nowadays, he literally wanted lego to be accessible to every kid, not 500 bucks for some small sets with a lot of minifigures, its actually dissapointing

I'm a kid, I don't cause expensive prices!!

I have the solution to all of this.
