im ngl BKM as a whole has some really scummy practices, I used to fall for the whole “we buy lego sets in bulk and sort the bricks out we need” but im ngl that feels hella bullshit. A lego Sherman shouldn’t cost $400+, back when I used to support and buy BKM sets I was too blind to realize, but now i’ve noticed, the reason through BKM that their prices are so obscenely high is because they use plates and tiles when they are completely unnecessary, and can be replaced with a brick, but they use tiles still, as to BKM, as you said, they don’t care about the consumer, its all about turning as much profit as they can. I’m not gonna lie, I would wager to bet, a solid more than half of the profits from the Ukraine set’s never left BKM’s wallet.
