11. Re: Are Trans-Clear LEGO (or all trans parts) now made out of a different plastic?

    

    Comment by Istokg · October 2020 · Home› Everything else LEGO

    For any of you who own 1980s model sets, such as the 6382 Fire Station (with 8 1x6x3 clear windscreen skylights)... you will notice that 1980s trans-clear parts (also the 2x2x2 (no tube) clear slope)... have a foggy look to them, even when in new condition (see middle of 5 2x4 bricks in my first post image). I guess that…

    Actually, real prices of LEGO has dropped over time. Prices keep rising because of inflation. Let's say you want a fire station. In 1981 that would be #6382 for $25. But in 2012 dollars that is really $63.64 for 390 pieces, or 16.318 cents per piece. In 1990 you'd get #6389 for $52. But in 2012 dollars that is really…

    Perhaps, but really things aren't much different today. Actually, the largest most expensive sets sill can have about 4 figures but now contain more bricks. You often get more pieces per fig. For example, a fire station: in 1981 you got #6382 with 4 figs and 390 pieces while in 2010 you got #7208 with 4 figs and 662…

    My thoughts on cost/value: I think you have to control for a couple of key variables that have increased the cost/value of modern sets. Specifically: - Minifigs have clearly improved over the past 30 years and even over the past 5-10 years. The amount of detail and custom molds are impressive, and this is probably one of…

    @mathew They made the bricks go further because they had less bricks to work with at a given price-point. You make the argument, which if I am understanding you correctly is a criticism, that today's sets are brick-heavy in relation to past sets. Your example with the UCS set is disingenuous because that kind of product…
