Yeah I bought the Jesko :ROFLMAO:

I think my OCD gets worse with every one of these I put together. Its only 280 pieces, but most of them were tiny tiny

And man I wish they would give you SOME kinda heads up right from the start that there's pieces like this in the kit so you can look out for them. I had these mixed in with the regular pieces. Luckily you use this one fairly early in the build

Lego has some star wars deals going right now. There’s a free gift at $40 and $85
I ordered the UCS X-Wing; I think it looks excellent.

I have a pretty gnarly "Backlog" of UCS Starwars stuff to build:
Falcon
Razor Crest
A-Wing
Land Speeder
Y-Wing (Got large partial from a bulk to part out and buy missing)
X-Wing

Once built, where do you guys put them? I want so many more, like the White House and other building related ones, but storage is an issue for me.
I’ve got some shelves above my desk I put them on. Our entertainment center has some glass cases too that my daughter has put her stuff in. I don’t build those big ass things though. I’ve got some bigger sets still in the box to sell one day but that’s it.


Dasfinc is building a huge table setup it looks like in his basement right now.

Dasfinc is building a huge table setup it looks like in his basement right now.

I have 2 stacked Ikea shelves for my big cars and speed champions stuff in the basement, I have a china cabinet (I kid you not) full of Starwars ships that is overfull now and I need to address, and the table empire is for a full city setup.

The City is going to be a labor of love that will take years, but it gives me a place to display the Modular Buildings I own plus a big train layout. The dedicated "Lego Room" for the city is a like 15X22 foot space in the basement and the displays are elsewhere in the basement..... My footprint is pretty large, but it's a hobby that I get to enjoy with my daughter so I'm deeply happy with it.

THAT ALL BEING SAID; Ikea LACK flush shelves are GREAT for small display stuff that can just sit out open. All my Starwars helmets are on a 72" one above my desk, looks sharp. Wall Storage/Display is the way to go for most things that don't weigh a million pounds.

If this dips below $200 ever I’m fucked


I nabbed it the day Lego announced their price increases before I had to pay the $240.

The BTTF Delorean is on sale at amazon for $170 right now. First time I've seen it dip that low in awhile


Must.........resist.........

Target has it for the same currently, I bought it just now for the extra 5% and the VIP points, hell yes.

Also; for those curious how I fund the hobby; I have been buying select sets that I feel will "retire and appreciate rapidly" whenever I see them pop on sale.

EG Starwars and Speed Champions primarily as they often double in value the year post retirement (Just sold a pile of 501st mech packs for nearly double MSRP this week), I have an Online Bricklink store and am seriously considering starting a Youtube channel as I start city building.

All "petty money" stuff, but it helps fund the hobby :)

Amazon does have the Mando N1 starfighter set on sale for 47.99 tho. Thats pretty good. Thats less than whatever I paid for it when it had the coupon deal a little while ago
