Going to a concert lets you be part of the experience. Anytime I have the chance to see a band I like, I'll go.

I haven't bought a LEGO set or LEGO game for a good while. My money goes towards Nintendo games, amiibo, music CDs, and concerts, and as a broke college student I don't spend it very often. :3 Ah, Amiibo. Don't own any of them. :P

I'm buying the LEGO Dimensions waves right now. See, I think LEGO Dimensions is really, really cool (LEGO Portal 2?! Are you kidding me?!!) but I'm not about to pay $30 for 120 bricks. I don't own the game, and I don't foresee myself getting it in the near future, so I won't be buying any of the packs.

Amiibo, though, work in multiple titles that I either have or plan on getting, plus, they look great, so I've collected a number. That's true, but I'd argue the Starter Pack is a great deal. $50 for the game, $40 for the bricks(And the big Toypad brick) and $10 for royalties. No, that's not a great deal at all (in my opinion). Royalties are already included in the price of the game. Then, you can buy the 3DS version of a game (IK Dimensions isn't on 3DS) for $40 if not cheaper. I like LEGO games, but they're repetitive enough that I'm not going to spend more than $20 on any of them, even brand new. The price for the number of bricks, assuming it's the one you've given, is fair only because there are specialized pieces, which in this case only work with the game.

If you think it's a fair price, that's great though. We just have different opinions as to the actual value of the product.
