Do you actually get to own the legos?

No, you’re only buying a license to the Lego set. Whether the blocks fit together is actually controlled by Sony and the ability can be revoked whenever Sony decides.

I'm totally out of the loop, do people love lego this much? The way they talked about it in the State of Play was like it was a dream come true and them finally listening to the fans to have... some lego that looks like a PS1.

$180!!!! You can buy an actual Playstation 1 with that price.

Ya, lego nostalgia psychosis is a big fad right now.

Legos alone are in high demand but having it combined with your favorite hobby or hobby of your childhood is even bigger deal for them.

Like the Pokemon ones go for 3-4x the price of a normal Lego set. Harry Potter, Star Wars, video game collabs are same deal.

Wow, that's a high price. I may have skipped that.

As for liking LEGO, I don't care much about general LEGO, though used to love it when young. I still like the LEGO sets though, where you make something specific. And if the set is related to something I like, then that's great, which in this case is (except for the price though, which isn't great at all).
