[QUOTE="Cergorach, post: 9296032, member: 725"] This Lego set is about 1/3rd of my rent. It's of course not a single dinner and a movie, but this is also not a single evening build. If you pace yourself, this is probably a full week of evenings building this. And unlike a dinner and a movie, you still have something of value after you're done. What a lot of folks do is buy the set, build it, and sell it. Lego has a lot of value, even if opened. Heck, some people even rent out their sets for others to build. It depends on how you treat it and how much you value it. I would also not label this set you buy like a $20 set, you want this? You save for it, this set was long rumored to come and many people have been saving for it for months. This is NOT for kids, this is for adults that have money to spend on these kinds of things. Just like with RPG books, dice, miniatures and board games. This isn't even one of the most expensive sets (like the SW AT-AT and Millenium Falcon @$850 each). Keep in mind that Lego at this price point isn't exactly mainstream, it's one like one of those advertisements you saw as a kid for the GI Joe aircraft carrier or space shuttle launch platform, not something you could ever afford, but you dreamed you could. Some of us as adults can afford it because we got a decent job, and this is (one of) our hobby/hobbies... Note: I got back into Lego last year (after a almost 40 year hiatus) as way of stress relief (just some zen building), since then I've gone a bit nuts on buying Lego... But I don't have kids, I almost never go out and even on the pnp RPG and board game front I've cut back significantly. At a certain point I can just build new sets from stuff I already own from the pdf instructions on the Lego site... [/QUOTE]
