This week on Next Take Podcast, Canada’s own Mikel & RJ explore the debate over whether LEGO is really just for kids or has become just as popular with adults, unpack a controversy surrounding trading card games, and take a closer look at the rise of questionable and sometimes completely fake—Top 10 lists.
LEGO has traditionally been viewed as a children’s toy, but today, the iconic building bricks have become just as popular as a hobby and collectible for adults. From simple sets designed to encourage creativity and imagination in children to massive 18+ builds featuring architecture, cars, movies, art, gaming and pop culture, LEGO has expanded far beyond the toy aisle.
conversation turns to the booming world of trading card games and one increasingly controversial question: Are trading cards collectibles meant to be enjoyed, or have they become legitimate investments?. From Pokémon and other popular trading card games to rare graded cards selling for extraordinary prices, the hobby has attracted collectors, resellers, speculators, and investors looking for the next valuable card. But unlike traditional investments, trading cards can be highly speculative—their value can depend on rarity, condition, grading, nostalgia, demand, and changing collector trends.
