This can go in so many ways...
They Can DO Better!
I agree. It's hard to make any firm comparisons without seeing piece counts but LEGOs have definitely gone up in price in the last few years. Just 3-4 years ago they would run about $.08 to $.09 per piece on average. A $20 LEGO set might have 220 pieces or so. Now that same set is $30-35.
I find the real LEGO sets underwhelming as of late.
When I was a kid the sets had lots of bigger blocks. Now all they seem to be is made up of little tiny things and "Special" peices like fences and antennas and ladders etc.
Eh, sorry for the thread drift. I guess I am just showing my age.
See what you can do with a lot of "normal" bricks http://www.see-sciencecenter.org/visitors/millyard-project.aspx
The largest permanent LEGO installation in the world. I think it's cool because my kids and I helped build some sections of it.

Ok so who is going to build WDW in lego then?
Hell start a new thread with your own disney world attractions made from lego and lets see how creative we can all be.

not bad for a 5 year old? not bad for a 35 year old sitting at his desk right now.At $25 and geared to the 5+ age range, not bad.
I think a Lego/Disney collaboration on larger scale models of all the same attractions would be like manna from heaven to my Lego-crazed son Morgan, but until then he'd probably find these a bit too basic.
Id have to see in person.Kind of looks like something you'd get at McDonald's if you ask me...
Those will grace the desk as well if they come out. :lookarounConsidering the price point and the age range what they have is about as much as you can do. Hopefully in the not so distant future they will release some higher dollar kits akin to the Star Wars Ultimate collectors series.
