>>11569539>These are two completely contradictory statementsNo, they are not. Go and count how many expensive items are in the same theme. You will find in most cases that a theme only has a handful of them. Barring Star Wars and Harry Potter (because they've been going non-stop for decades), this is across the board. Even in the likes of say City, there's a shelf life of about four years, giving you plenty of time to save up for the expensive sets.
Lego knows all of this, like most companies do on where to hit the sweet spot to get the consumer to give away their money for some toys. I also know this because I wasn't from a wealthy family back in the 80's. I made agreements with my mum to put away birthday and pocket money for the big Lego sets. If you're unable to save because you've got to have your bottle of whiskey at the weekend, then the problem lies with you.
