What HN community is saying
The thread opened with a quip about build duration: commenters noted that scaling 12,000 pieces to the real basilica's 144-year construction would yield roughly 200 days of building at 60 pieces daily. A broader debate followed over Lego's strategy: some lamented that modern sets are designed for single builds only, losing the creative reuse spirit of older kits, while others countered that collector sets targeting adults do not displace bulk kits and building sets aimed at children. Several commenters described letting their children disassemble finished sets organically over time, treating sets as temporary builds that eventually merge into freestyle creation bins.
