Especially since LEGO is so lucrative enough that I hear criminals use it as currency.
LEGO ain't helping matters by trying to make more expensive sets aimed at "adult collectors", really. Sure, profitable in the short run, but is LEGO REALLY profiting if scalpers can shake down some extra shekels from scammertaxes and parting out at inflated prices years later?
...seriously, none of these mouthbreathing moneygrubbing hype-monkeys ever read the fable of Tulipmania. Someday that bulb is gonna bust, and they're gonna be left with nothing but lime green, gold, and reddish-brown plastic sherds of dust.
