I get that Lego is for adult collectors at this point but Jesus Christ

The problem is the price per piece model. We should judge it on price per ounce or gram. A giant set could be 4,000 unique pieces with unique color shades. A medium set could be 8,000 mass produced regular color pieces with instructions on how to make a licensed character.

Nah for me the problem is the business model of creating massively expensive collectors pieces in the first place. The ratio is fine, but I don't especially care about that.

The ratio really isn't fine. There will always be expensive collector pieces but LEGO are just plastic bricks. I get licensing fees but there are tiny Spider-Man sets that are three minifigs and a small police car for $50. They have to be losing sales over pricing by now.
