Last few kits I built were botanicals for my wife's lego and nature wall. I'm pretty happy with this display.

My girlfriend does those sets. I think she has all of those as well. I showed her your picture & she loved it.

I've got such a backlog of Lego sets that I haven't picked up any new sets in awhile...but I couldn't help myself when I saw these 2 in the wild.

I wouldn't say I'm a collector but I got back into Lego late last year. So far I've put together the Pyramid, Japanese Tea Garden, Pikachu (ok that was Mega...), 3-in-1 flower bouquet, battery-powered train, a little boat with sea animals and divers, santa's sleigh, and a Technic Mack garbage truck...

I just finished a class with an A so kinda wanna treat myself but don't know what to get next... I am leaning towards the big helicopter or ship from the Lego City collection, but the space VTOL looks cool and so do the two rollercoaster sets :(

Space VTOL is also apparently Technic and honestly that Mack truck kicked my butt, I usually don't make mistakes putting these things together but there were so many fine details to pay attention to and several times things didn't click and I needed to work different angles... So if I want to work on it with my kid I probably need something traditional.

The more I think on this the more I think I might just go with the Up house instead

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/1/1243ac6a.jpg

this is $60 on the Lego website

The Up house is an odd one for me. I really love the movie and I feel like I SHOULD want the LEGO set, but I just cant bring myself to pull the trigger on it.

That said, I feel like they really need to do more single-property sets like that.

Like, theres gotta be something cool they can do with The Incredibles.

The Toy Story sets from around 2010 were really cool, and Im kicking myself for not getting more of them. And somehow they dropped the ball around 2019 with a lot of really disappointing Toy Story sets that I definitely dont regret NOT getting lol.

Yeah $60 for that was a lot but for <$30 its an easy buy imo. Love the movie as well

ended up getting a bunch of stuff on sale and had $50 in rewards so I paid $60 for all of this

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/8/85a3f460.jpg

combination of stuff for me and for my kid

The City Space theme has been really good over this past year. The modular design of several of the sets actually reminded me of Subnauticas base building.

I just look at it like you're guaranteeing yourself that you'll get a set in their first production run. Most sets it doesn't make any difference, but the more popular ones you might end up waiting awhile because they'll get back ordered for quite some time.

I think it just dropped from $40 to $30 this week so you might be able to get some money back depending on when you bought it

I was just looking at the Minifigure Factory and saw they have the LotR patterned torsos and like Im tempted to get all five designs (even though its only two unique ones). It would be like an extra $65. But if Im already paying so much for Bag End, fuck it.

I assume these will be a limited run and I feel like Id regret not having each one. Im justifying by saying Im making one of me, my sister, my mom, and my dad. Plus an extra

That looks great, I haven't bought all of the botanical legos (mainly skip the individual flowers and the bouquet style ones), but I've bought a good number of them. I have nowhere to go with them, but my hope is that one day if I ever own my own place I'll be able to put them up.

Went ahead and ordered Bag End today to get the Smeagol + Deagol promo. I was on the fence about the Barad-Dur set last year and missed out on the Nazgul promo, so I wasn't going to make the same mistake this year. Also got a silly little Easter bunny promo and dropped some points for the retro Space Command Center promo. Any order where I get three freebies is a good day.

So I put in an order for The Shire, five minifigures from the minifig factory (each with a different LotR-themed torso), and got the Smagol and Dagol GWP and an Easter GWP, and also redeemed points for Crabmeat from Sonic.

They split it up into two shipments. The Shire is coming by itself and the rest are all in another shipment. I just thought that was kinda funny instead of just shipping them all together.

My local lego store stopped carrying The Monkey King line at least over a year ago and I remember asking the people working there and they said it wasn't selling well. Well, it seems to sell well enough to keep getting stuff online! Do they have it in person at your lego stores?

Special orders like pick-a-brick and minifigs usually take a lot longer to fill. I'm guessing it's because someone has to pick them by hand rather than just shoving a box in a bin.

True, but Im surprised the minifigs didnt ship separately from everything else.

Like Im sure it made sense logistically for LEGO but it still made me chuckle.

My mom picked me up two botanicals sets on the marketplace which I just spent some time dismantling

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/1/15983208.jpg

its a flower bouquet and tiny plants. The tiny plants set is only 6 of the 9 plants but the bouquet is 100% complete, even with a little baggie of all the spare parts

this is nearly $100 worth of Lego new, and this person wanted five bucks lol. Its like why bother selling it at all for such a small amount of money?

I wonder if my local Target and Walmart even have a clearance Lego section. I dont recall ever seeing them, but Ive also never really looked either. I dont make it to either store very often though, in fairness.

I have gotten a bunch of 40-50% off sets from them just by checking every so often. Theyre usually just mixed in the Lego section but sometimes at target theyre on a clearance endcap and at Walmart theyre in the clearance section

i follow r/legodeal and people post whenever they find stuff
