I'd love to have the D&D set but I'm physically and mentally incapable of justifying spending $360 on it

I ended up splitting it up with PayPal Pay in 4 just to make it not look like $360 lol...

I do not regret it though... It's a fantastic set with so many little details in it...

That is an awesome set, though it's $500 here in Australia.

I have the skeletons battling the pirates on the ship. I used some other skeletons from other sets too to make it more epic. The pirates are running around with torches and stuff and the young guy is freaked out and blasting away with two pistols. It's great.

I have to buy a display case if I want to get any real big sets because my cat would knock them off regular shelves

right now the pirate ship is in a hutch full of dishes that haven't been touched in 2 years

This is my castle display above my desk. I may extend the shelf eventually so I can add the medieval town square and space things out a bit more.

that's really cool

I'm going to have a spare room starting in July so I have options, but I don't want to put too much more money on my credit cards :(

when I was a kid my uncle had an entire lego city with a running train built and that's what made me want to get into it

I wish I had some shelves or display cases for my stuff... Even before I started packing up my nerd room for my move, I just had them all over the place... Like sitting on my Manga shelf

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/a/a5ac7cb6.jpg

Hell, the new Disney ones I bought this week are just sitting on my table until I pack them up...

oh that's about the same size as the pirate ship

my phone camera is terrible and gamefaqs only allows tiny pics so I can't really show the scale well.

I'm tempted to spend $400 for this on ebay. it was so cool, but I'm worried about buying a set that old from a reseller

Gotcha

No idea why, but as a kid I either couldn't or just didn't have the patience to try, to like string the sails, so my pirate ships were always finished without them

the ropes in this set are flexible rubber things. but the tension they provide actually works well to keep the masts steady, they were very wobbly without them.

The 3 in 1 Viking Ship does this too. Creator sets use bricks sails and rubber ropes instead of cloth and string.

the space explorers sets were so cool!

I only ever had one of them though, they were very early sets

I hope they bring back this and the ninja stuff eventually

I checked the prices for some of the ninja sets

$400+ for the small castle. $700+ for the fortress

my only consolation is that I definitely didn't keep all the pieces together, so even a used set would be impossible to put together

I did find out that every page is only 1 or 2 steps, and each step could be anywhere from 1-16 pieces

this set had a ton of tiny pieces and small details that had to be right for the next step to work, so less complicated sets might do more steps per page
