[CLASSIFIED // EYES ONLY] This week's bricks and minifigs scandal mirrors the 1929 Wall Street Crash: a collapse fueled by artificial scarcity and insider trading, only this time the bubble was built with LEGO. Just as speculators once hoarded stocks to drive prices sky-high before the Great Depression, collectors and influencers are now accused of hoarding rare minifigs and brick sets, creating a fake 'collector's economy' that has now imploded. The fallout: small shop owners are left holding worthless inventory, and a 'Black Tuesday' of crashing resale values is hitting toy fairs nationwide.
