    It doesn’t have to be justified to you, but it’s clearly worth it to some people. My most expensive sets are <$300, but having built a fan design, I can tell you the official ones are so much better that there’s not even a comparison. The construction is miles better and I’ve never had a missing brick in the dozens I’ve built. People are allowed to spend their money the way they want.

      Sure. All kinds of expensive things that don’t have to be expensive are worth it to some people. That doesn’t really justify it.

        I’m sure you buy/collect something people have told you is unjustifiable, or at least implied that whatever you’re spending your money on isn’t worth it.

        But it’s worth it to you, and that’s what matters. Literally the exact same principle is at work here.
