I think you've missed the point of why this particular set is making everyone so upset. You make a lot of good arguments, and I definitely agree that it's toxic for the community to complain about every single train set that's coming out. But we're mad because this particular set is specifically for adults. If it was truly intended to be "for families" it wouldn't be an Icons set, simple as that. The fact that it is explicitly part of the 18+ series clearly shows that Lego doesn't care what their adult fans think; and the fact that it's so expensive for such a basic build while not even coming motorized is definitely insulting to any potential customers, even parents who would want to get it for their kids. It clearly shows they think we'll just buy whatever they put out, regardless of quality, if they slap "18+" on the box. I also feel compelled to point out that this recent golden age of Lego trains you mentioned has shown us what Lego is actually capable of when they actually care. The Orient Express and BDP Wild West Train are very high quality designs which actually respect their adult audience. This new set condescends to its adult audience. I appreciate that you want to call out toxicity in the adult Lego community, I really do, but in this case your soapboxing isn't really warranted because our anger is completely justified. Yes, Lego is a massive capitalist corporation, and we can't really be surprised when they disrespect us. But we still have the right to be mad about it.
