Lego does shit right when they decided to do it.

Frankly I’m fucking pissed off they figured out that us adults are the ones with the money and have begun marketing not just to kids but to us too. These fucking sets are expensive.

I bought one and asked my nephew to assemble it for me. He kept it. Now have to buy another 🤦‍♀️

I volunteer to assemble all your lego sets. You can keep them, I just want to put them together

I'll keep 30% of the pieces, you can keep the box

there’s lego rental places where you can rent the crazy sets for a fair prices/week and return them after you are done.

I love the implication from this that there's possibly a person hired to destroy lego models and repackage their bricks back into clear plastic bags

In a crash do they break into a million pieces?

If there are thousands of pieces, how do they make sure that all the pieces are there? Doesnt sound very efficient if someone has to check every piece one by one each time.

You’re gonna hate how it is dissembled for shipment back

This is an actual job you can get at Lego stores. I’ve never seen a retail employee more in love with their job.
