Have LEGO prices been making your wallet cry lately? You're not alone. In this episode, we’re talking all about why LEGO sets are getting so expensive. Is it inflation? Licensing? Or just the price of being a fan in 2025?

We break down what’s really going on, chat about how it’s affecting casual builders and collectors, and whether these sets are still worth the money. Spoiler: it's complicated.

In this episode, we’re all about Lego pirates! We’re taking a look at the classic Lego pirate sets, plus the upcoming Captain Jack Sparrow’s Pirate Ship 10365—a set that’s got us all excited. We talk about what makes this ship stand out, what we’re hoping for, and why Lego pirates are still so awesome after all these years.

Of course, we also go off on a few random tangents (it wouldn’t be us without that), but don’t worry, it’s all Lego-related fun. If you’re into pirates, Lego, or both, this one’s for you!

Tune in, grab your bricks, and let’s set sail!

LEGO isn’t just kid stuff anymore — or is it? This week, we dive into how the LEGO world has changed, with more adult-focused sets, complex builds, and a massive AFOL community leading the charge. Has LEGO shifted too far from its roots, or is it just growing with its fans? Plus, as always, expect plenty of tangents, random brick talk, and maybe a mini-rant or two.
