>>15867754
>why is lego so fucking expensive
I remember shopping for Xmas gifts a couple years back and coming to the realization that video games are a much cheaper gift. Probably why they're not as popular anymore

>>15867758

Yeah it's the experience with Lego that's way better than sitting in front of a TV. I love Forza as much as the next person, but goddamn does it get repetitive

I thought like that for a bit, didn't go to Legos exactly, but I used to be into building Zoids when I was a kid, so I got myself one to get away from the computer and for a bit of nostalgia and went about building it. Got about half way and said fuck it.

I still have it unfinished, I should finish it.

>>15867759
maybe if the internet didn't exist.
>buy lego set, build it, collect dust
>buy game, beat it, play with their friends online
it's a much more economical gift option for children, plus then you don't have to supervise them.

>>15867730
You can get the knockoff on aliexpress for $50.

>>15867775
Those Kotobukiya Highend MM sets were fucking amazing. So expensive when I was a kid though.

I want to pick up a car related hobby, but don't have room to pick up an actual project car. What do /o/?

>>15867780
>plus then you don't have to supervise them
Once they're past the age where they stick everything in their mouth, you don't have to supervise them much with legos either.

>>15867821
Model kits. Or benchracing like everyone else.

>>15867784
Why do people accept and even promote knockoffs? How poor can you get?

>>15867830

The fuck is benchracing?

where a you from OP ?
I have this set. it's 9001% worth it.
you can even make a RC car out of it.
the set is one of the best I ever had with the US Millenium Falcon.
All of my friends now have it. Of you can go check it our IRL in a lego store.

>>15867838
Arguing about which car is better using lap times pulled out of the internet's collective ass.

>>15867841

Houston. Where it's humid as fuck to do anything outside and boring as fuck to stay inside.

>>15867854

Ahhhh. Okay. Yeah I've seen those. I dont care, as long as whatever is fun

No thanks.

Can you work it?

Put that thing down, flip it, and reverse it?

+ very good price
+ identical sizes with Lego
+ identical color with original Lego
+ identical decals
- some edges are sharp
- without box
- shorter assembly instructions
- worse quality of tires

legos are a pretty cool thing, got the old box of them down yesterday, finished making half of this gommiegar, I don't think I have enough little white slopes to complete it, so I'll mutate it in a pickup or something

>>15867730
I want this so fucking bad.

The molds used for the plastic has to be manufactured with very high precision, as just a little bit off and the error would "add up" as you assemble pieces. So it's expensive to make and it's only good for relatively few casts. Lego is a high quality toy.

since the 80s the ROI on unopened lego boxes has outperformed gold.

>>15867821
RC Cars

>>15867754
Believe it or not but Lego has a seriously high bar when it comes to quality.
Every part ever made has to fit with any other part. As an engineer it was really impressing when I was allowed to go trough their factory. I was in many production lines and Lego has one of the best quality standards out there

>>15867821
if you have a decent PC buy a racing wheel, pedals and gearbox
start sim racing
it's quite fun, keeps me busy during winters when i store my miata and i don't have a fun ride

>>15867730
its sold out fucking everywhere

Legos are for children.

Model kits are for RYEAL HUMAN BEANs aka Men

Right here bro.

Seems like it. A proper high quality 1/18th model car is around 200, lego 1/8th is 300 and has a bunch of really cool shit like a working clutch and other functionalities to marvel at while building
Id get it if i had the money

Never cared for them. Bought pic related at goodwill for cheap to use the tank treads.

>>15867754
I had (and still do have) an older Lego Ferrari with similar levels of detail and similar original pricetag to this GT3.

Checked the price for a NIB version a few weeks ago and it was $1500.

In other words buy two, build one, keep the other in the packaging and sell it on ebay in 10 years.
