I was never a big lego user but as a child getting a new set of Lego was a celebration and not something that happened casually. For my kids it is just another toy they get here and there, sometimes on a whim while browsing for other things in the local Target shop or whatever. So I guess relatively it became cheap like all other commodities which are not a house. They usually just follow instructions and build it once and then abandon it, minecraft and sims replaced lego for doing more freestyle creative creations since it is faster and unlimited.
