I assumed many of the users are kids, whose time per hour is worth hardly anything. If they didn't have this app, they'd instead just play with the Legos the old-fashioned way, which accomplishes roughly the same goals.

This seems neat, and if there were some basic functionality (only smaller projects, or a limited number of complex projects per month), I would give it a try with my kid. But there is zero chance I'm going to introduce a subscription that costs $7/mo that would likely be used a handful of times each month.

Finding all the pieces for a build is easy. What's practically impossible is finding a kit that works with your pieces (unless you manually inventory them).

Half the value of LEGO kits is the guaranteed build of the project on the box. This app is a recycling tool for creating kits from "scrap" LEGO.

You are paying the all to avoid buying the new kit.

If you buy $50-$200 LEGO kits, you'd buy $84/yr tools.

I don’t think you’re the target market.

Clearly not! But I could be, with a little feature gating.
