I have no idea what you’re talking about.
- chiefalchemist 7y agoIt's all kits. Build the death star. Or whatever. Etc. That's not creativity. That's a puzzle.
- mcphage 7y agoThey’re all Lego pieces. Putting a picture on the box doesn’t make them any less creative.
- chiefalchemist 7y agoSo you play top dollar for a Death Star and you build what, a basketball? Why waste the money?
- mcphage 7y agoYou pay top dollar for the 3,800 pieces—which you can assemble in any way you want, just like any Lego pieces in existence. I really am wondering if you’ve just never played with legos before? If not, buy a set—they’re a lot of fun, and you can start with a plain box of pieces for $5 to $10, no need to jump in the $750 deep end.
- detaro 7y agoThe majority of kits pretty much always (certainly from since I'm old enough to remember Lego catalogs) had "a model" to build, the "bucket of pieces" packs always were just a small part of it, and you always could use the pieces of the former to build anything (with some themes obviously having some less universally useful pieces)
- chiefalchemist 7y agoNot when I was a kid. The co-branding kits came later. And have changed the nature of the product, as well as the minds of those who use it.
