Where is all the Lego then? They have been making billions of bricks for decades. If it never breaks, they should be able to just shut down the factory and people would sell between themselves.
I would assume a huge portion eventually just gets landfilled.
- GuB-42 3y agoIt is a question I ask myself. Some guesses: - People have more Lego. Passed over collections become bigger and bigger. Maybe the average collection was 2 boxes of bricks before, now it is 5. - More people use Lego. There is a lot of Lego for adults now. It is not just for kids, but kids still play with Lego. People, especially adults can make bigger models too, with more bricks. - A lot of Lego are stored in attics, unused. What will happen to them after they are rediscovered? I don't know, but they will probably end up growing someone else's collection. - Some may end up in landfills, lost, broken, etc... But I think it is a very small amount. Used, bulk Lego bricks are about $15/kg, more than copper scrap, it would be worth digging for them if they were a common occurrence.
