> Your kids can't actually play with it.

Good luck to anyone who builds a lego set and then tries to tell my kids we can't play with it or steal parts from it for another build.

LEGO has a wide audience. Some of these go to adults who build them and put them on display. Others will go to kids who build them and then take them apart to build the next thing.

I wouldn't buy this huge set for my kids because that price tag is crazy, but I like buying some of the mid-size sets for them because it's a nice injection of specialty pieces that they like to incorporate into other builds.
