And? Is there some reason anybody, child or adult, deserves access to "every" anything? Should children have access to every video game ever made, every Matchbox car, every Lego set?
- gs17 3y agoYes? I can't see any reason "you can't have that Lego set because the giant corporation behind it stopped selling it, refuses to let anyone else make it, and resale is all horribly expensive from collectors" is something we should have to tell our kids. I really hope my children will have access to a higher tech version of something like the (discontinued?) toy where you could melt old crayons into toy car bodies. 3D printing is almost there, but ideally the end product of a Lego set could be recycled into new blocks easily and quickly.
