>>10841037>Try your luck on the second hand marketAs in already built and used? i never buy second hand anything and i would especially avoid that with lego
I would much rather buy 1:1 clones from aliexpress than deal with that, the issue is that im not sure if the bricks will connect seamlessly, i do however trust the communist chinamen to have printed them with a good quality of plastic atleast
>But if the build is too simple and I'm done in an hour or two then it really wasn't worth the money.I've looked up some of the sets i had as a kid 15 years ago and their MSRP and i was so surprised that you could get 50% more bricks for the standard 1€ per 10 bricks pricing that currently exists. and even then a lot of the bricks in modern sets are smaller filler pieces to pad out the build. The inflation in price and decrease in building experience is really sad to see
