Do you guys get buyers remorse for these expensive (overpriced) sets? £750 for the Falcon?!

Got it on offer for around 500, so no, worth every penny. I’ve taken my time with it too. Oh, and the wife went halves

Can’t say I’ve had buyers remorse so far. Maybe for the Razor Crest that I’ve now bought the UCS version of, but I’ll always find somewhere to display it.

That said, no more Lego until May 4th offers!

 

[Richie]

I think it was from etsy. I'll see if I can find a receipt.
Someone on the forum said you can get the metal piping quite cheap. Then you only need some shelves and a drill.

In hindsight I think I over paid!

Yeah I could make this myself... Some malleable iron fittings (black iron, not galv) and some wood will sort it... I guess I was being lazy

Finally caved in an ordered the UCS Star Destroyer before it’s retired.

Damn you Lego!

Let us know how it goes! Probably the only big set that I can *just* about pass on.

Won’t build it until next year after I’ve emigrated.

This reminds me, I know someone who keeps an original Mini in their kitchen. Like, not parked like a garage, but keep there, as an ornament. It's full one, with engine and everything.

He somehow convinced his wife is a good idea.

Was it Derren Brown?

The sale section at LEGO.com now includes a surprising mix of new-for-2022 releases, such as 10302 Optimus Prime, 21332 The Globe and 75323 The Justifier. You’ll find a cool 20% off all those sets and many more in the UK, while in the US the LEGO Group has knocked 20% off products including 21331 Sonic the Hedgehog – Green Hill Zone, 40516 Everyone is Awesome and 75328 The Mandalorian Helmet.

I added what I'd like to my bag to see the cost.

Around £3k .

Yeah, can't justify that no matter how hard I try.

 

[CaptainRAVE]

I could just about justify £1k, but that’ll do for now. Still have a few more that I’d like, but still can’t justify the justifier even at that price - looked decent in the Lego store though.

What did you add?
Might only be 5 sets!

 

[413x]

The price drops on optimus, glove etc must be showing lego have reached a maximum price point.

Obviously these are sets not selling well.

Globe and optimus are two sets. I personally think look terrible. Particularly that globe!

 

[theone8181]

So the "sale" puts them back to normal prices then .

 

[TheSwede]

Out of curiosity, of those that have the Imperial Star Destroyer (75252), have anyone bought a separate stand similar to this one or just using the one with the set ?

Agree.
6 shelves (floor to ceiling)
But top shelf is very high. Too high really in hindsight.

Bottom shelf is only used if get a 5th that I actually buy.

Sian and porsche are my favourites.
Just popped the ferrari in the shelf.

Probably need to move the orange pot plant!
Batmobile is too hidden too. Might move completely or to top shelf

I do like that set up, I’m still debating whether or not to mount mine on the wall.

I think I'm going to tilt mine 45° if you imagine a full height shelf some are very much edge on. So missing a lot of the details.

 

[Richie]

Star Destroyer.
Falcon.
R2D2.
The SW helmets.
Optimus Prime.
Groot.

A few others (about 18 sets in total).

It was more curiousity TBF

 

[CaptainRAVE]

The Lego warehouse taking their sweet time to ship my order.

Worth doing.

That’s the one thing that really annoys me about Lego, they ship too slowly unl you pay silly money for next day.
