Legos
« on: April 04, 2022, 11:29:03 AM »
I did not until recently know that Lego had such a variety of sets. Like the one of Jerry's apartment on Seinfeld. Or the flowers and bonsai tree. Or the flat ones like a poster you can put together. My mind is blown :shocked:

My oldest niece was super into Legos and I know my mom had bought her one of the Hogwarts sets. Thing was huge! She put it together in like 2 days :lol:

I really don't need another collection, but I think the prices are fair. There are a whole bunch I'm interested in now. I like the animal sets, the pandas and the tiger in particular. I wish they had more Halloween stuff or a horror category. Can you imagine like the Amityville house? Or a graveyard? That'd be so cool.

I still have my childhood Legos which was a starter set. You could build a house with it and it had little window planters for tiny flowers. It's from the 80s so it's very basic. I was looking to get rid of them but I think I'll keep them now.

Do you have any cool sets? Does anyone collect them?

I like Legos...some of the fun little details on the sets are so cool! I only have one set--the Harry Potter set featuring Professor Umbridge and the giant, Grawp. I'd like to get more...the Hogwarts castle would be really awesome.

I bought a big box of Legos recently. :)  I had some while I was growing up but didn't become interested in them again until I saw some people building stuff with them and it looked like a lot of fun.

I wanted a box of Legos that could build multiple things instead of something specific but now I'm starting to look more at the more complex sets.

look up lego elves!! That whole series is amaaaazing and I have collected several sets. I think some of the disney princess sets are quite cute as well as some of the friends animals sets, but absolutely the best series is lego elves. I would have loooooved playing with them as a kid, but Im kind of glad that they came out more recently so I can get them with my grown up salary  :lol:

I used to collect Legos! I was obsessed with Lord of the Rings sets in middle school, and Lego Friends in grade school. I don't collect them anymore, but I love going to the Lego store and looking at the Ideas sets.

However, my boyfriend actively collects Lego Star Wars. We have a lot of fun finding sets and building them together. But it is an expensive hobby -- more expensive than ponies because there's not much at flea markets  :blink:

You're not kidding! Those dragons and the tree houses are so neat! It said they were discontinued is 2019 so my chance of finding any are slim. I love those dragons.

bricklink!!!!! I got most of my sets there, if you wait you can get used sets for decent prices- and I got one of the really big sets for about 30% less because it was missing one of the flag pieces or something like that

My brother in law collects Star Wars lego, I don't think it's possible to collect all the lego surely? I think it's fantastic but I wish you could rent one at a time. I don't have space for another collection unfortunately.

I bought the Tokyo skyline set yesterday.  :)  The bonsai tree is calling to me too but it will be a while before I can get it.

I love how many landmarks are included in the Tokyo set.  I'm excited to start putting it together.

I finished the bonsai tree today.  It took me between 4-5 hours to complete. Please overlook all the stuff on the table.  I had just finished it and tried to move most of the stuff out of the way, but I see it everywhere.

I've almost finished Tokyo.  So far I've spent about 5 hrs working on it.
