I was also always saying Legos got too expensive, but someone here actually pointed out they've always been on average 10 cents a piece, so yeah it checks out. These new sets really are just that much bigger and more elaborate. You do get what you pay for.

I recently got back into legos too after decades. I got the medieval blacksmith. And then several from the 3 in 1 series, because those seem to harken back to the classic sets the most currently. I got the pirate ship, the SMALLER castle, and the viking ship.

For anyone wanting a castle because of nostalgia, but this huge one is way too expensive for you, considering getting what I got in the mail, the 3 in 1 castle for a hundred bucks:

It may satisfy that itch, and it's not massive. It has 1/3 the pieces at 1/4 the price.

But really I highly suggest the set that brought me back in, the medieval blacksmith. It's only 150 bucks, so won't break the bank like the giant castle, and just look at it god damn it:

It's amazing! It has three floors and each has a lot of detail and you can take them off in layers.
