My guess is that Lego customers are also increasingly older.

I mean look at the millennium falcon.

When I think of fancy lego, I think of something like this https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/lego-medium-creative-bric... because it has wheels and stuff, not just bricks.

I would have imagined "regular" lego was just different sizes of bricks, not even a sloped "roof" brick or wheels.

Also I think "made in USA" might help sales in the US and at the very least calms investors?
