With Lego seemingly pumping out more sets than ever — what happens to the sets that don’t sell through? Is that left to the retailer to deal with? Or can they send unsold inventory back to Lego? Does it all just end up at discount stores, or does Lego reuse parts from unsold sets to repackage in newer sets?
Exactly. Collectors and dealers snap them up as investments and/or part them out. The secondary parts market is getting massive (that’s why the Lego group bought Bricklink). Where do you think those dealers get all the parts?
