Well anecdotally my mom threw out all of my Lego once I left home. It’s not something I miss because I didn’t really use them much. Using Lego to build things always felt like cheating, like you’re building a preassembled kit (which you are). I always preferred to make things out of “raw materials” like wood, metal, cardboard etc.
- fsloth 3y ago"mom threw out all of my Lego once I left home" I guess she wasn't aware of the vibrant resale market?
- huytersd 3y agoNo ha, and apparently neither was I until right now.
- Supernaut 3y agoThis is news to me too. Now that my kids are older, last year I decided to clear some space in what had been their playroom by finding a new home for the small mountain of Lego that we had accumulated. I rang around local schools and charities but no one was in the slightest bit interested. In the end I had to sadly take the lot to landfill.
- fsloth 3y agoOh, super interesting from point of view of market segmentation. Where do you live? Urban or rural? It does seem the prices of unorganized mounds of blocks is quite cheap nowadays (10-20 EUR/kg seems to be the going rate via quick ebay survey). Maybe those decades of non-obsolescense are saturating the market. Definetly not land-fill prices yet, though.
