I'm lost as to why on earth this set is even worth $20 never mind: $484.99, can someone please explain???

Do narcotics come in the bag as well??

Article 2000409 includes 100 individual Window Exploration Bags

Lots of baggies.

Lots of bags, and a marketing scheme to dupe corporations which focus only on "group workshops to reinforce the corporate environment" instead of hiring accounts who can tell them they can buy a lot of Lego cheaper

Let's see. 100 bags of 48 pieces each for $484.99 CAD. That comes out to 10.1 cents CAD per piece.

It seems cheaper for the corporate trainer to buy the pre-packaged polybags than to hire someone to scout Bricklink, order the pieces and put into ziplock bags.

Yeah I looked it up too after I made my earlier comment. I guess it actually is cheap.

But for a MOCer the pieces are so multi colored they would form a "ra1nb0w warr10r" so it isn't a good park packs for AFOLs. But if a corporation wants to build crazy colored mini builds, be my guest (48 pieces per bag is very limiting).

But you are looking at it from a MOC'ers point of view, not a corporate teaching aid point of view, not to mention it isn't aimed at AFOLs, it is aimed at corporate people...

I went to Serious Play workshop and I was curious to know how they came upon that specific mix of bricks. Now I know it was a prepackaged polybag. I assumed that it was just stuff that the facilitator had gotten off a Pick A Brick Wall. Overall, it's random enough for people to build representative things with and not get caught up in the aesthetics.

I've obviously never bought one of these and as such wouldn't know, but I would imagine these sorts of kits also come with an instructional guide for the facilitator so that they can make the best possible use of the materials. So in that respect they're not buying just random brick.

What was the workshop like? I'm kind of curious what presentation goes along with a random pile of bricks, and if it ads to the value of the product. Do the participants get to take the bricks home with them too?

What did you think of the workshop? How does it compare to similiar type of workshops?

Yes, the course content creators would also write an instructor guide for the facilitator in additional to the student course material. The instructor kit could have list of tools required, how long each module should take to cover, lesson suggestions, quizzes, presentation material, etc. At least that was the way it was done back in the days when I was in corporate education.
