>>6173727Yeah, they do but, as you have suggested, everything else will end up looking "childlish" to anyone that isn't a LEGO fan. And i don't think your parents are.
maybe try with some star wars? normies seem to think that licensed sets are less childlish because they know the source material.
Also while pricey, SW is cheaper than the modulars or the creators.
Also come on, Yellow submarine is "just" 50€ here. it's not that much.
