>>7599930>>7600153>The issue here is LEGO's current products and practices, not the entirety of the company's runDon't care, I wasn't talking about that. The point I was saying there is that builders can still build with the massive library of parts we have.
>Also you shouldn't have to pay extra to salvage a product. I agree. Again, wasn't talking about that.
On a final note, I get what you're trying to do with the whole taking money elsewhere thing, but its stupid. People buy what they want and don't buy what they don't want. The most damaging thing to a company is not buying from the other guy, its just not buying stuff from them. And since Lego doesn't currently produce constraction anyway, that's just what we do.
The most you can do is present gunpla as an alternative but the fact is that gunpla does not have a presence in the west, it's not a large competitor to Lego, and that the appeals of gunpla do not cover all the same appeals of constraction. Even if everyone in this niche fanbase starts buying gunpla, or Hexa Gear, or any other alternative like crazy, it won't do anything because Lego doesn't even produce any constraction to compete. It's "losing" potential customers it never had. You're fighting a lost cause in an inefficient manner.
