      @@agentmanface6255or maybe, juuuuust maybe LEGO is a company and as a company they are trying to save money by not making another new variant of a minifig, because it would cost them more than to just re-release an already existing one. That’s why we didn’t get the UCS Luke in the mech, since there was already a cheaper version of him in a different set.

      I can imagine it. If someone has a really extensive army of clones and all the other rare figures, then he must get the Rex figure. But at that point 600 dollars would be peanuts. Talking about a whole other level of income here. But if it is just your average Joe then 600 is insane just for the figure.
      I got a few sets of the 501st Battle pack and the second pack. As well as the Interceptor set with Anakin. The Bark speeder set another 2 501st troopers. Got the 25th figure that comes with the Tantive boarding set. So now with Rex I actually got a nice little battalion. But like I said. Some people actually got a whole army with hundreds of clones. Then having that Rex is the pinnacle. Yet I'd never in my life would spend 600 just to get a figure. And they know it. Reselling the Venator for almost full prince WITHOUT Rex... Then yeah... You already know the figure isn't worth it.

      Because he might have gotten himself like 4/5 Venators. Wait for the set to discontinue and then it would go for 1000,1200. Now it will max hit 800. Lego does not want scalpers to put their product in closets and storage units. And basically flood the market with overpriced items. Making sets much harder to get when it is still running. They hit the goat, now Rex. Anything else they will probably do the same. Stop scalping.

      If you are bummed that a part of your Venator set now is less rare, I get it. But Lego sells Lego. Stores sell Lego. Not bearded basement dweller taking lego figs out of sets and reselling them... It is seriously bad practice. And if someone got a Venator on discount, sells the Rex for top buck, basically has a lot of cheap parts to use for mocks. That just isn't cool.
      Or worse yet, some would buy the sets, put them in the closet and wait for the set to discontinue. And try selling them for a 1000, 1200. Because it got Rex in it. And that last one is the biggest concern for Lego.

    I think Lego needs to find a balance with 'exclusive figures'. Popular characters like Rex should never be exclusive. Now the other figure, Admiral Yularen is perfectly fine being only in the Venator. I think the value of Lego stems from the playability and creativity that comes from them. Anyone more focused on the monetary value isnt a Lego fan in my book, completely agree.

      Nothing Lego makes should be THAT exclusive ever again. They cut down the goat, and now Rex. They should keep doing this. So people will never go above and beyond what a set is actually worth. Ofc discontinued sets with rarer pieces will go up on the market. But not just the figure. Goats went for 100 dollars. C'mon now. Might as well buy a real one at that point.

  • @TheCreeyKid
    @TheCreeyKid หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    Your point I think is totally right, as a kid I loved lego and loved collecting sets and minifigs, but missed out on a lot of stuff I wanted because it was just too expensive. Including more cool and beloved characters in cheaper sets is a great thing for those that can't afford a premium price.

    • @dgray3771
      @dgray3771 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Not just that, but imagine you save money, like a kid saving a 100 bucks to get himself a ATTE. And walks in the store and some scalper just bought them all. To sell them later at 200. This just isn't okay. I see it happen at my local store. They had the ATTE for under 100, and it just sold out. I cannot imagine it being just random customers. No it is scalpers that just buy up everything.
      And if it is the higher price mark those sets are not 50/60 in store. Maybe 10 max. Adults need to get a grip and let kids have their sets at reasonable prices at stores. I really hate when people do this stuff.

Lego listens to the Fans, the Fans wanted a Rex figure and they got a Rex figure! The Greedy resellers didn't get the message! They still don't get the message and they will probably never get it! Greedy Resellers are not Lego's Main Focus!

      The resellers already got their buck. And those that paid 250/300 got duped. Now they will think twice. The biggest cry now comes from those that are keeping like 5/6 Venator sets neatly stored mint in their closet. The set will never make double price now. Since Rex is no longer the flagship figure in the set.

      Legally they cannot do a thing. Because you can buy what you want and resell it if you want.
      But they can....lie. Saying something is exclusive and then rerelease it later like they did with this.
      Same thing with the goat. The market for it crashed. Heck they even made fun of it in their sticker sheet. With the discount on goats sticker.
      If you are aware about Lego and actually care for Lego you should know how they operate behind the scenes. And already know that that was a warning. You scalp and try to resell sets amass like this? Lego will re-release the parts/figures in cheap sets. And the overturn you thought you would have will no longer be possible. Believe me. So many people just got tons of sets just stored away to sell at double price. And people desperate enough will cave in. And buy them. It is scamming. Because that would not happen if the sets were readily available in store.
      And Lego cannot push out beyond capacity at the factory. It will hurt their business model too since they want to discontinue sets and bring new ones. Yet because some people getting greedy they got to keep pumping out more of the same set. Due to market demand.
      Most smaller sets remain in production for a year. The 501st battle pack 2 1/2 years. The last Imperial Tie 3 years. These smaller sets should not be lasting that long. But my bet is it is scalping causing it.

And the business Rex went up to $100 at one point.. And you buy a set of over $600 for the figure, not the display set, you must be limited.

      People should stop trying to make a quick buck overturning sets. They buy stores empty to keep the sets for a year or 2. Then if it retires sell them for double. That is a heinous crime in my opinion. It kills the lego fan base. A lot of people cannot afford sets day 1. And if your kid saves his money every month so he can have 100 bucks to get that more expensive set to find out some A*hole took them all of shelf and now put them online for double the price. That practice has to stop.
