If it makes you feel any better those sets were the last sets in stock around Christmas. There may be a market for them but it’s not huge. Meanwhile my 4 year old and I are going to be building this awesome set https://www.brickfanatics.com/lego-creator-31109-pirate-ship-review/ which I’m super excited about because of all the creative choices and possibilities. Probably one of the best sets of last year. It’s not all doom and gloom but some legos suck and some people just fail at life.

That being said we’re building legos instead of going to school because school has failed into Covid. We’re shut down for the week but I think it’s probably closer to a month. I’d try to buy my way out of it but private isn’t doing much better and it’s damn near impossible to hire someone. So I’m stuck. Luckily I saved a ton of vacation and my work is really flexible, but weekends are 12/hr a day grind.

I never did understand why anyone would want to run or own a subway. It seems like a shitty existence akin to being a Uber driver. Independent sandwich shop, coffee stand, sure but subway hell no.
