This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Not playing the devils advocate, only as a fun fact:
The price of lego sets per piece (PPP) is pretty consistent over the years, almost since the 80s. Even the licenced sets are staying relatively close to the average PPP.
The big difference is, that all the Lego enthusiast kids from the 80s and 90s are now adults with disposable income and Lego is riding this wave since the mid 2000s by releasing bigger and bigger sets aiming mainly adults, who can in theory buy them.
Here is an insanely in-depth analysis about the prices if someone is interested:
