>>11214397it's all part of Lego's new conspiracy theory scam
step 1 - make [crazy expensive set] with exclusive minifigs
step 2 - hopefully [? lol how are people paying this much for plastic toys?] sell some of those crazy expensive sets - this is bonus money
step 3 - "leak" minifig parts out of Mexico Factory [oh, it's Mexico, people believe that, right? steps are being taken to stop this... blah blah it's really Lego all along]
step 4 - sell minifigs on Bricklink for $50+
step 5 - profit!
they thought $5 for blind bags were great money machines? looks like they figured out a way to sell Link & Zelda minifigs for FIFTY DOLLARS each, and we are HAPPY about it!
nah just kidding, there's probably sales data that says the big sets sell, legit, so they will continue to make them. I'm already doing my part, by refusing to spend hundreds of dollars on a set, but looks like I'm not doing it enough to make them realize nobody is buying them.
