Description
Why is LEGO so expensive now? This business documentary explores how LEGO turned childhood nostalgia, adult collectors, licensed franchises, and premium sets into a massive new growth engine.
After nearly collapsing in the early 2000s, LEGO rebuilt its business around the brick system that made it famous. But as adult fans became willing to spend hundreds, and eventually up to $1,000, on collector sets, LEGO prices moved into completely new territory. We look at expensive LEGO sets, Star Wars and other licensed products, stickers, color consistency complaints, and why some longtime fans are becoming far more selective about what they buy.
LEGO is stronger financially than ever. The real question is how far a brand can push premium pricing before customers stop automatically believing the product is worth it.
