      I want it very very bad. I yearn for that hotel but I also don't know where I would assemble it.

      Lego is shifting its marketing because of this cultural perception around toys and "manchildren" and actively promoting products like that to adults.

        Yesterday's model railway people have become today's adult Lego people.

        I think Lego for adults have been a thing for a while, it occupies a space in-between model rail and big puzzles. I remember the Taj Mahal set was one I saw as a kid that looked really cool but was very expensive.

          Yeahhhhhh. They way I rationalize that is that this is plastic that adults intend to keep for their entire lives and that they're starting to use recycled plastic bricks. Still bad though.
