>nephew loves lego, specifically lego star wars>Promised I would buy him a few lego sets for his birthday on friday>fastforward to tonight>checking out what they have in stock at walmart and target>almost $200 for one droid mtt>$150 for the attack of the clones at-walkerWhat the hell.
>>11673464he watched rise of skywalker yet?
>>11673464Prices for lego have gone up tremendously, and a lot of these sets absolutely are not worthy of their price tag.You will however get dogpiled by the apologist bootlickers that will scream "muh inflation" and "lego was always expensive".
>>11673470>"lego was always expensive".And that's 100% true. They have always been expensive. Now they're "join Tyrone and Ray-Ray when they're looting stores" levels of expensive.
>>11673518I too wish to absolutely demolish a self checkout. Tells you to put the item in the bag. Take it out. Put it back. Doesn’t work! No you can’t pay for your shopping until a clerk comes over to unlock the machine.
>>11673518When in Rome, do as the Romans do.
>>11673464>What the hell.Jesus H. Christ, you people.If this is legit, and not fake rage bait (you) farming, you are - most sincerely - an imbecile and hopeful your siblings aren't - because if they are stupid as you, they shouldn't spawn any further.There's actual sets cheaper than pic attached but just two of them would set you back $32 plus tax.And give any decently imaginative boy plenty to play with. >>11673518And yeah, this entire thread was probably an excuse for you idiots and imbeciles to post this same fucking picture again.Don't you all have dolls you can at least jizz on?Don't you have TikTok videos to watch to teach you how to buy stonks and become rich so you can get off some Mongolian basketweaving site and go hire lady boys in Thailand till your parts fall off from social disease and you die, rich and happy, but thankfully sooner rather than later?
>>11673464Cant you just buy him a cheap smaller set online? How old is he? Assuming he is still in single digits you might be able to gift him a crappy set and pass it off as cool because kids don't grasp quality.If he is like tween and knows about lego enough to want a specific set then you're fucked.
>>11673559Clam down intern-kun.
>>11673464Should have gone to the store from dec. 26th to jan. 5th. The discount racks were stacked for like 3 weeks straight. You fucked up on this one dude
>>11673642>LEGO on discountWhen it hits clearance it's only like 10% off
- Update - OP hereEarlier today my brother and I traveled to three different stores, and we both spent almost thousand dollars on Lego. [spoiler]$964.56[/spoiler] and I even pitched In more cash for a few smaller sets since I thought it would add variety. It hurt my wallet but ultimately It's worth it. Our dad always cheaped out when it came to buying our childhood so maybe this will make up for that. Quite frankly I'm disappointed because I wont actually be able to build the sets.
>>11674602I don't think you can really complain about prices when you guys are willing to casually drop $1000 for a kid's birthday. There's a glut of $10-$20 sets out there, especially with some of the stuff that just dropped.
>>11673603YES, YES, YES, EXACTLY You tell him, sister.
>>11673464>>11674602At this point you'd be better off introducing him to star wars model kits, they're way cheaper and for that price you could build a whole army.
>>11674610This>wow guise $200 is sooo crazy>okay guise so we spent like $1000
>>11674610>>11675398>everyone is rich and irresponsible with their moneyYeah no.
>>11673464There's plenty of decent Lego Star Wars sets for under $50 so I'm not sure what you're complaining about exactly
>>11674602>Complain about price of Lego>Drop $1000 on that for a kid's birthdayI'm with you on not cheaping out on stuff that could make a kid happy but come the fuck on the 3 in 1 castle for example is a fantastic decent size Lego set for just like $120, get two of those and you have a good amount of Lego for the kid to play with. Fuck I don't spend $1000 on myself for Lego, it's nice that kid gets nice presents but don't blow your wad in one go.Stuff like Lego is better and more thrilling when you can slowly collect sets over time as opposed to "omg I have a hueg collection now"
>>11674602holy shit, i hope the kid is responsible
>>11673464Genuinely, go for the 4+ sets. The piece count, price, and complexity are more similar to old Lego than the new stuff
>>11673464You can only buy LEGO on a 40% discount these days if you want to pay a normal price. Or become part of their shill network and get free sets in exchange for 5 star reviews.
>>11674602You’re gonna create unrealistic expectations for this kid when it comes to presents, geez. And if he ever finds out how much you spent and grows up to be an asshole, I can only imagine the conversation>you spent $1000 on legos, why can’t I have the Playstation 17?
>>11673464>pick set>print build instructions>buy all required pieces individuallywill probably be cheaper
>>11673470Even with recent price hikes, Lego is cheaper per piece and per pound than it was 30 years ago. Whether these recent price hikes are justifiable (or just plain and simple corporate greed) is another question, but you need to accept that Lego prices have been trending downwards for decades.
>>11673470Hold onto your pants. It's gonna get worse. https://www.nbcnews.com/business/economy/trump-denmark-european-tariffs-greenland-deal-rcna254551
>>11673464literally just steal the sets from walmart or target or wtv
>>11673518based, fuck those self check outs
>>11680838FUCK YOU TOO WHATCHU WANNA DO SCRAWNY NIGGA BUT I GOT AN ARSENAL OF AUTOMATICS DOWN TO 22S! KNOW HOW TO USE EM FIGHT DIRTY AS SHIT I THROW A GRENADE AND ALL-IN-ONE BURY A CLIQUE
>>11687685what's funny is that y'all voted for this and the only two people who were shot in the face in cold blooded murder were both whiteno wonder so many hispanics in places like texas and alabama are being shown on the teevee saying they approve of what ice is doin
>>11687722What's funny is that kikes like you are going to be lined up against a wall and shot, not unlike your faggot friend (((Pretti))). I'll kill your jew ass
>>11687722Both were self defence, I frankly don’t mind more of you being blown out.
>>11674602Never complain about prices on things ever again.Btw which sets did you get? I wonder how long til he builds them all
>>11673470Pokecow shiteatter fandom syndrome keeps on spreadingYou know not even that long ago we'd euthanize retards. What happened?
>>11673518That's me.
