It’s such a stupid design but people will buy it anyways. It looks cool and that’s all that matters.

Support your local woodworker. They can make stuff that’s totally unique and way better than mass produced garbage from some executive at Lego that had an itch to scratch.

I bought a beautiful coffee table years ago at a craft fair type event for my dad for father's day. The creator was thrilled (I was one of his first customers judging by the receipt number), and it still looks great and holds up well all these years later. Definitely recommended.

I don't think they will.

I saw a bunch of this collection at Target and it all looks terrible in person.

To me Lego as a brand is quality and creative. Whereas these products all felt cheap and janky.

I would bet on them all being on clearance after Christmas.
