- 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.
