I am probably in the minority on here, but my Lego collection is rapidly expanding.
It all started in Florida in 2015. I was in Disney Springs and noticed the Lego Ghostbusters Ecto 1. As a child I absolutely loved Lego, and this kicked off an adult interest.
Obviously I had to buy it.
Almost 4 years later, and I've (sensibly) bought too much. A lot of it is aimed at adult collectors and I find it is extremely good for stress.
It also helps that the value of the sets after a few years jumps dramatically.
Anyone else on here close to being as nerdy as me?! hahahahaa

he is obsessed with having everything in a collection, so has every single dimensions set made and every single Mixel (9 series so far) for instance. Can't get him into star wars he won't have any part of it!!
He isn't into building stuff so my wife and I are like lego building machines.
Then there is Harry Potter. Then we have the Lego space sets. Heck.
I'd love to get more, but can't really justify it currently. Can't wait for my boy to be old enough that he wants some lego and I can "buy him some sets".
Until you stand on it
Some of the more advanced sets look great.
i really want the falcon but the size is prohibitive, I have the x wing UCS unopened, Porsche GT4 unopened and a few big technics.
love Lego, expensive but actually you can make money if you get the right ones.
Definitely fancy an X Wing at some point, though I’m in favour of building once then selling them as I really don’t need a house full of Lego stuff - I have enough other random crap already..
My daughter (6) got into the Legends Of Chima stuff a while ago, and I've spent quite a bit on acquiring various sets for her, most of them s/h off ebay. I do find it enjoyable building them, so there's a little bit of fun in it for me too.
Even at £20 or so a set I've spent a fair bit, and have to suffer the torture of spending a couple of hours building something for her only to see it in pieces a couple of weekends later
Once in a while I round everything up and rebuild it all as best I can (sometimes essential parts have been left at her mother's) before sitting back and trying to ignore the destruction.
She's also really into space, so I'm considering picking up the Saturn V model for her when I have some spare funds (it's selling for around £100 most of the time).
Many guitars have a re-sale value. Some you'll never want to sell.
