why is lego making me reconsider my financial and career choices man??? i j want a minifigure of link to put on a lil keychain. INSTAGRAM: www.instagram....
Yeah 300's crazy, I was expecting it to be around 200 given its size and the number of minifigs. Praying they make some smaller sets down the line since there's a separate Zelda section on the Lego website, meaning it might be its own theme?
It’s less about size and more about the number of pieces. At 2500 pieces and being a licensed property, $300 isn’t quite as egregious as some other sets. Ideally, you’d wanna see a set at about $10 for every 100 pieces, but properties like Star Wars frequently surpass this. The UCS Millennium Falcon is $850 at about 7500 pieces, for example ($100 over the ideal). But when it comes to personal worth, yeah it’s pretty meager for the price tag. Being a set with two alternate builds, this makes sense, but what you actually get out of it suffers as a result. I wish they commit to one or the other instead, personally.
nice video, i understand your pain well, too well unfortunately, im from Brazil and i stopped buying LEGO in 2018 because its too fckng expensive here. Our minimum wage is close to US minimum wage, but here is the thing, 1 dollar = 5 brl (brazilian currency), so, you know that Daily Bugle lego set? its fucking huge, and it costs $350 in the US, this is like, 1/3 of a monthly minimum wage, but here in brazil, it costs BRL 3.600 💀💀💀, THIS IS 3 MONTHS OF MINIMUM WAGE.
OH NAHHH i have heard some straight up horror stories abt how much gaming stuff can cost in brazil, never thought to consider how it would affect legos tho
Price aside, I really don't like that this set is a two-in-one combo of OoT and BotW. It should've been some standalone of EITHER OoT or BotW, but don't put those two together.
I'm pretty fed up with Lego charging so much for bare minimum sets. It's like someone at Lego designs something awesome, then the higher ups say, right, make it again with half the number of pieces.
Companies kind of expect the gaming community to just swallow whatever product has their favorite brand. The sad part is that most of the time they're right.
I just looked it up and it’s about the same price of other branded sets, at about 12 cents per brick. Some of the more expensive per brick sets are minions and Jurassic world, which sit at 19 cents a brick. But like you said you can’t use all the pieces at the same time, you have to choose which deku true to display. Which is just an overall disadvantage imo
more people would know it since it's at the start of the game, but i definitely understand the disappointment of not having those big story beats as sets
RMS Titanic was a British ocean liner that sank on 15 April 1912 as a result of striking an iceberg on her maiden voyage from Southampton, England to New York City, United States. Of the estimated 2,224 passengers and crew aboard, 1,496 died, making the incident the deadliest sinking of a single ship at the time. Titanic, operated by the White Star Line, carried some of the wealthiest people in the world, as well as hundreds of emigrants from the British Isles, Scandinavia, and elsewhere in Europe who were seeking a new life in the United States and Canada. The disaster drew public attention, spurred major changes in maritime safety regulations, and inspired a lasting legacy in popular culture. RMS Titanic was the largest ship afloat upon entering service and the second of three Olympic-class ocean liners built for the White Star Line. The ship was built by the Harland and Wolff shipbuilding company in Belfast. Thomas Andrews Jr., the chief naval architect of the shipyard, died in the disaster. Titanic was under the command of Captain Edward John Smith, who went down with the ship. The first-class accommodation was designed to be the pinnacle of comfort and luxury. It included a gymnasium, swimming pool, smoking rooms, fine restaurants and cafes, a Victorian-style Turkish bath, and hundreds of opulent cabins. A high-powered radiotelegraph transmitter was available to send passenger "marconigrams" and for the ship's operational use. Titanic had advanced safety features, such as watertight compartments and remotely activated watertight doors, which contributed to the ship's reputation as "unsinkable". Titanic was equipped with 16 lifeboat davits, each capable of lowering three lifeboats, for a total of 48 boats. Despite this capacity of 48, the ship was equipped with a total of only 20 lifeboats. Fourteen were regular lifeboats, two were cutter lifeboats, and four were collapsible and proved difficult to launch while the ship was sinking. Together, the 20 lifeboats could hold 1,178 people-about half the number of passengers on board, and one-third of the number of passengers the ship could have carried at full capacity (a number consistent with the maritime safety regulations of the era). The British Board of Trade's regulations required 14 lifeboats for a ship 10,000 tonnes. Titanic carried six more than required, allowing 338 extra people room in lifeboats. When the ship sank, the lifeboats that had been lowered were only filled up to an average of 60%.
Amen my broda! Even though we all love Zelda, we need to all ban together in solidarity (like a meticulously built Lego set) and boycott this Lego set. We need to show these greedy corporate overlords that the Zelda fan community is not gonna just gonna give them our hard earned money just because they said so. Don't forget this is just the very first one, so it will se the bar when it comes to price for future Zelda Lego sets. $300 might just be the beginning! If people buy it for that price, then the sky is the limit for the future.
you're complaining that they're expensive, but you would prefer them to be 2 separate sets? even though they would still cost $300 each because in the existing set they share the same pieces... anyway lego sets almost always cost 8-12 cents per piece plus this one comes with 4 minifigures.
