>>5834638If you find a set expensive, then don't buy it. Lego sets are actually pretty well priced for what they are. Also they phase them out after a couple years. So they'll be more expensive after the fact.
But to your first point:
I don't think of Lego as a guilty pleasure at all. I see so many adults buying the SW sets and the blind bag Minifigs.
I actually prefer the City sets and I'm a sucker for Ninjago and Nexo Knights. Those probably have more of a stigma against them, but also I have zero concern for how people judge me.
