>>11567804I also felt the same about the crazy overpriced botanics and architecture sets however those fly off shelves so clearly there is a market for it that is both large and quite silent. Most people are not going to be broadcasting their guilty LEGO shopping spree especially if its anything more than what you might make in a days work of an average wage.Working class and middle class indulgence is still very shamed by normies. /lg/ and enthusiasts of other toys often forget this
LEGO/Nintendo have done the market research and are clearly confident that this is going to make all parties involved a fuckton of money.
The problem is when you make expensive sets of cheaply manufactured plastic upmarked for sometimes 400% you have to find new ways to justify the price tag.
LEGO have been doing this with expensive moulds. designer behind the scenes videos where they talk about their "budget" and "design constraints" in simple language. Having the manufacturing team go on record showing how """premium""" the bricks are. So on and so on.
Will it work with Pokemon? Yes because it is Pokemon.
