I don't really know, they hold their tolerances pretty tight compared to the rest of the industry, and clearly have a fair bit of R&D that goes into product design end to end. So I think the target demographics have just grown for them, it's clear that just having more children's lines was not providing growth, so the pivot makes sense. Walmart has their 1000 piece creator build boxes on sale all the time. I expect I will need to do a culling sometime.Īlso they can still be used to design random stuff. I also make my own models which are always.too large. I have reached the point where I simply rotate my collection in and out and have stopped picking up small sets (or if I do, it's with the plan to donate them or give to my nephew as he hits the age requirements). Lots of stuff still holds up well at the 10c per piece standard, even if that means a set with smaller pieces these days. I guess the long term strategy is to create a pipeline of lifelong costumers.They are expensive, but the uptick in perceived costs looks to me to be proportional to the increase in detail and size of the sets. LEGO now can target adults who grew up on LEGO and who can splurge on mid to high price kits. But the increase has come from targeting new audiences on top of that. So Lego is still serving the same audiences as ever, with more sets for everyone. The huge differences come from the girl focused lines and the collector focused lines. City, action themes, Creator and Technic are roughly doubled. (20 sets in Dots, basically arts and crafts/decoration sets, but I'm not counting those as they had no equivalent back then)Ĥ4 sets in Technic, including one programming system (Mindstorms)Ĥ6 Space/Pirate/Castle sets to 76 Dreamzzz/Monkie Kid/Ninjago sets ("unlicensed action themes")ĥ Paradisa sets to 59 Friends sets (girl focused lines)ĭon't have time for an in-depth analysis, but just looking at the numbers, there is basically just more of everything. Today, just checking for sets on, there are these unlicensed themes:ġ8 sets in Classic ("random" buckets, same as Basic)Ģ8 sets in Creator 3-in-1, roughly the same as the targeted Basic setsĢ4 sets in Creator Expert, this is basically Model Team but on steroids and where most of the huge sets in this thread go So 145 sets, out of which 20 "big" sets that would cost $150+ today at the same size (they were cheaper back then but the same size sets today would have many more pieces). Same here, lots of old stuff.ġ9 sets in Space subthemes: Space Police II, M-Tron and Blacktron IIĥ4 sets in City subthemes: harbor/boats, gas station, leisure, racing, trucks, police, airport, fire brigade, trainĢ1 Technic sets (6 "advanced" including a programming system)Ĥ Model Team, mostly the early version of Creator Expert Worth mentioning is that 6 of these were around already in 1989 sets just had a longer shelf life back then so fewer sets were released per year.ġ3 Castle sets. Back then in production there were:ġ2 different Basic "buckets" with "random" parts, divided across 3+and 5+ ages and various sizes.ġ4 Pirates sets. This objectively is greater than anything we ever got back in the day.īy the way, I have an old catalog for 1992 here, so it's interesting to compare. Yeah, this is another example from this year. ![]()
