> Not all old LEGO sets fetch such high prices, but of course all the popular ones do. These are the ones that we wanted when we were younger, and now that we have a bit of our own money we want to buy those dream sets from our childhood.
Many toys from our youth now command incredible prices because of this phenomenon. Retro video games can command absolutely obscene prices (four and even 5 figures sometimes). My Neo Geo collection in particular is worth dramatically more than what I paid for it.
- colechristensen 12y agoThe thing is, most old video games (at least the especially popular ones) are available as emulators and sometimes are refreshed by the publishers too. Lego sets need not be old to be fun as I can attest from a recent impulse purchase.
- city41 12y agoDepends on the person. For a lot of people, the only way to satisfy that childhood dream is with the real thing. As the prices can attest.
