That's really cool, great job!

I wish I had more room to spread out and try some custom builds. I've mostly been collecting sets / pieces for the future since I got back into Lego a couple years ago.

Thanks! Studio seems pretty good for getting those creative ideas out there, without needing thousands in inventory.

I have thousands of lego bricks in the attic from when I was a kid, literally a 3 ft x 3ft x 4.5 ft shelving rack of drawers sorted by color & specialty pieces... I shudder to think how much they would cost these days.

Per piece, LEGO isn't all that much more today then it was twenty or thirty years ago. The sets seem more expensive because they have a lot more parts. All those small tiles make sets look a lot better than they used to, but it comes at a cost.

If your collection has full vintage sets, you can definitely get some money for them. I sold all my childhood sets a while ago, and they all got back at least their original cost. Some can be a big markup.

I dont have a creative bone in my body lol but I do love to build the sets.

Nice job on the Pokmon one!

Thanks! I generally don't, either.

I think that's just if you buy all the pieces al a carte.

You can probably get most everything you need in a generic bucket.

I forgot to mention when replying to TMOG that this isn't all that small. more than 38x32x8 centimeters, 1800 pieces. Those tiles add up fast. and the 8x8 plates it's built on are almost 50 cents to a dollar each, and i used three layers of 30 of them.
