everybody knew it was a bad thing lego had ended up with the license for brick built pokemon sets, because previous companies like mega had actually made little playsets that kids would like (and that weren't over the top expensive), and we all knew lego would just do extremely expensive, overwrought, massive part count statue type sets, and lo and behold, we get statue of pikachu where you have to shove the stand up its ass. $650 set with the kanto starters. everything's always gen I of course. and they release one thats kind of neat, a kanto region badge case, but you can only get it if you preorder the $650 starters set

not even a normal gift with purchase. only with preorders. I'm going to lose it

I'm so upset with what lego has largely turned into with all this stuff. the only lego sets I've bought in recent times have been those tiny lil $5 bag sets, because they tend to be small and cute and be more like what I'm interested in lego for. something simple I can fiddle around with and such. I don't need a million giant, increasingly expensive displays. even though I'm an adult I'd prefer cute funny lil sets I can play with. and like. the giant display sets would be okay if it wasn't the majority of what they make anymore. god damn

@fluttergirly i've always been grateful for having a particular sort of upbringing where i learned to reverse engineer a lot of toys and learned to "love the product, hate the brand"

anyway i haven't bought toys in forever but i've heard a lot of the chinese knockoff lego-compatible sets are really good

@fluttergirly and it’s not like lego can’t do smaller more child oriented play sets, i’m pretty sure that’s what their animal crossing series is
