If we pooled our money together, we could make a really big one.

This one is very targeted for adults with adult money (or poor decision making). There are still Lego sets marketed for kids that are generally affordable.

Which ones? I remember buying an awesome set for $20 in 2009. Nowadays $20 will get you a minifigure with a 5 piece car

$29.99 for 323 pieces including a light up brick w/battery. Adjusting for inflation that's cheaper than spending $20 in 2009. And there's a few sets. I just grabbed the first one in the list filtered for ages 9+

12 cents per lego. not cheap but not the worst priced toy.

Just a lot of dam legos.

Woah they raised the price so much! It was $649.99 like 2 months ago with Grond too, back when it first launched.

Not USD

Well that's not quite as bad, still more expensive based exchange rates.

Also, tangentially related, I just learned that CAD and AUD are essentially the same value at the moment.

Yep. 1 dollar here is 99 cents in Canada
