A brisk $449.99 USD gets you this absolutely astonishing set on June 5th, 2023.

If I had the money to blow and the space to house it, I'd get this in a heartbeat. It's truly a work of art.

I joke often about the reason why toys now are so cool to adults of my age group is not because we're in some sort of never-ending-childhood (ok maybe we are a bit), but because people are age are making the decisions now.

This may be one of the purest versions of that, hybridizing toy, art, presentation piece and commercial good. Amazing work by the designers.
