As always, the actual point is missed. A company will aim for maximum profit, aiming to charge the absolute most that the market will accept. Lego is no different than the companies during the pandemic that had leaked documents stating that their goal is to "take advantage of these unique economic times" to boost profits. Prices don't drop on anything until people stop paying.

Like bringing back this “Sold Out” “Limited Edition” set over a year later. 

I just didn’t like how she used the Osprey set, which was never officially released, to demonstrate how much prices go up. She was giving me Shane vibes 😝

Go to min 3:44.

Most of us are not authorized LEGO resellers. Has anybody experienced this? So there is a chance we can end up with tons of LEGO we cannot sell on Amazon or even other platform like eBay, etc

I was saying there is always a chance since Lego  doesnt authorize anyone to sell on Amazon unless you are Amazon.com. Plenty of people got a letter from Vorys at various time intervals, some ignored it, others complied. None were take to court as far as I know.

Wonder what exactly triggers this?  He said he sent a bunch of sets "wanted to get rid of all the lego that I had".  Sounds like he sent in active sets that then competed with Lego. But I'm sure they'll be others who received that letter saying different.

I'm thinking he was trying to sell currently available product.

I still think they're designing incredible box art, though there have been some misses. One of the best things about LEGO box art, which has remained consistent over the years, is the 1:1 depiction of the actual bricks on the box. This feature has always appealed to me for two main reasons:

• As a kid walking down the aisle, I knew that what I saw on the box was exactly what I was getting
• In the '80s, the instructions were often lacking for an average kid like me, with several steps missing. I would use the 1:1 box art to fill in the blanks to get it right

I'm not sure if these reasons hold up for modern kids or adults getting into LEGO now. Most buy online rather than in-store, 3D digital instructions have solved the issues we faced back then, and today's video game generation appreciates digital art more.

 

This guy is new to me and not so much annoying like everyone else.

The cadence is very robotic though. I'm pretty sure that's an AI voice lol.

The overall quality of lighting & cinematography is done well. However, as confirmed in the comment section from a recent Porsche review, he is using an automated voice. It is not so bad to be fair though a little obvious. I suppose we can't all share the cadence of Kevan Brighting.

 

I've been following CleverPig for quite sometime and really enjoy his humor and content. If you watch and enjoy please like and sub to help his channel

Going to do a shoutout to my current most favorite LEGO Youtuber: BrickTsar (https://www.youtube.com/@BrickTsar).

He has a very particular style, and focuses mainly on classic LEGO, but I find his off-the-cuff and improvised style rather funny. He's also a reseller and runs a BrickLink store.

YES! I really enjoy BrickTsar. Great recommendation

YouTube channel for Nick Trotta, Galactic Plastics, shows off and gives detailed "how to" instructions for every one of his well-done spacecrafts.

Excellent use of varied and different internal colors that adds interest to the build.

You are correct, I guess that’s why I found him to not be annoying. He changed to his natural voice and I preferred the AI.
