>>6080631The real problem is lack of cheap small sets. Usually there's only one set that's under $20 in a given theme. According to price per piece though, it is cheaper than it used to be. You just have mostly bigger sets, so you have to shell out more money at a time.
Pic related is like half the Ice Planet theme and these were all under $10. Nexo Knights has about two of the sets with the generic soldiers and everything is $20 and up after that.
