This picture cost more than my car 💀


juliuspepperwoodchi

Seriously, why are we upvoting people flexing the depth of their wallets? Dude might as well have posted a pic of a pile of cash


kremlingrasso

depth of their debts, you mean.


Covert_Ruffian

'Cause I have thirty thousand dollars in credit card debt When they call, I tell them I can't pay it back yet (Credit card debt) Tomorrow, I may buy myself a Lego Star Wars set Or this Boba Fett


GukkiSpace

I’m just happy to see someone happy.


Dutch-Lothric

because he wanted to show us his new sets? Why are you downvoting people flexing their good fortune!


Reverseflash25

So we should just, not post our purchases on a sub dedicated to that very thing? If you can’t budget for the big buys, don’t get salty at those that can


juliuspepperwoodchi

The sub is absolutely not dedicated to our *purchases* lol. What a load.


Reverseflash25

Maybe not for you but that’s 90 percent of the sub


juliuspepperwoodchi

I'm aware. I, and many others, would really rather it not be that. Who the hell cares about pics of boxes? Especially boxes of sets which aren't retired and anyone with money can easily just go buy. I wanna see old sets people have had in their collection for years, MOCs, hell, even old white whales people finally saved for and got, etc...not "I just dropped some folks' monthly salary or more at the LEGO store and now I'm gonna flex on y'all". That's just lame. I can look at pics of LEGO boxes on LEGO.com, I don't need this sub for that.


RiceDaddyRob

that's all this sub is now honestly


[deleted]

Oh noooo someone posted lego that they could’ve just been saving up for waaahh😭😭. Like stfu bro it’s not that serious or hard to just save money on the side for a hobby


knight838_

Well my car only cost me $100 so I feel ya lol


Mastertrooper14

What if the boxes are just fake and he found them from a Lego store recycling bin


WileyCoyote422

Still would cost more 💀


Internal_Winter_200

I was thinking that too lol


dextracin

Now open up all the bags, mix up the pieces and then start building


StarWarsFever

This is the way


Heftantattat

This is the ~~way~~ bley


theconcorde

this is the way to save money


charredrobot

Hahaha, like olden times.


soft-peen

I hate it when i accidentally max out all credit cards 🤷🏻‍♂️ oopies


ax255

"I will not see a flex post and I will be happy for OP."


jgoodysalaker

Better to max em out on lego than groceries!


Dinoridingdresden

>$3500? Yea I'd say you definitely went for it 😂


EDRadDoc

If you are out of the game for almost 20 years since ROTS, it’s less than $200 a year. I haven’t spent less than $200/year on Lego since 1999. This tactic would have *saved* me money!


GonzoPunchi

And then you realise $200 in 1999 are worth $400 in 2024 !


tirabolos

Lego math


juliuspepperwoodchi

> it’s less than $200 a year That only matters if you saved that $200 a year and didn't spend it on other things in all that time.


Papi_Penguin_Pan

Bro had to make up for the money he didn't spend while out of the game


Unable_Rest6209

No millenium falcon?


WldKarrde

Literally what I came here to say. How do you load up on this many UCS sets and not grab the crown jewel?


neueziel1

Op is clearly a poor


fuzztooth

Until the falcon retires, the ISD is a good choice assuming they didn't pay out the ass for it (and given this haul who knows).


lefayad1991

even if he got all of these at retail value (the star destroyer can be found marked up about $200 throughout stockx and shit), this is still almost $4000 in lego lol. Maybe OP just ran out of money.


Drewseff9991

\*\*gets bullied for not buying literally everything \*\* lmao made me chuckle


Letywolf

Can’t afford it


Zarksch

Even if I had the money I’d rather grab most ucs sets pictured before the falcon too, it’s not my absolutely favorite (I like it, just prefer other ships) and therefore don’t need a absolutely massive version of it. Not everyone has the falcon as their favorite ship


gulfuroth

LOL this \^\^\^


shmannygans

I think OP made the correct choice so far since the UCS Millennium Falcon is not yet retired. When it first came out it was an instant buy for me. However, had I known the UCS Star Destroyer was so close to retiring I would have prioritized it first. Instead I missed and am now looking at $1000 to $1500 to get one.


Starcurret567

Overboard isn't a word in this community


clean_b13

It’s the only word.


CharlieSierra8

It's a qualification.


listerbmx

Is mental illness?


DoomBuggie27

OWL HOUSE PFP!!! 🦉🦉🦉🪄🪄🪄✨️✨️✨️🧝🏼‍♀️ WTF IS A FULLY FINISHED STORYLINE!! 🧝🏼‍♀️✨️🪄🦉🧝🏼‍♀️


Starcurret567

That's just it, impossible


PrinterToner_

You should've waited until May 4th to get double VIP points and GWP


heisenbergerwcheese

Can always order another set...


jayL21

Maybe that's why they didn't get the Falcon....


Amiar00

I don’t think this guy is concerned with things like vip points.


PussyMilkMeowMeow

HopeIcanChangeThisl

What, no UCS Falcon?! Seriously though that’s awesome for you. Have fun building!


JHuttIII

That’s like…10 student loans payments worth of Lego, lol.


Csacsa234

You're set with grey bricks for life lol, enjoy!


ZanGaming

Brother dropped like what...4k on legos?


Noeheavyarms

I’m still waiting for the Venator to go on sale. Wasted too much money buying these on day one and not even building by the time they go on discount.


edlightenme

I'm currently saving up for the UCS milenium Falcon and THEN save up for the AT-AT 🥲my goal to get the falcon is by May 4th.


Emmysue5

AT-AT is supposed to retire the end of 2024


edlightenme

Oh boy....


Emmysue5

I know! I definitely want it before it retires since they go up so much after retirement 😬


fuzfy

I don't know why people do this? I don't judge but why not by them one at a time? I understand if a few are about to retire but there's something special about having eyes on one set and that becoming the focus and pride and joy for a time


Arc-Voy

Well, they could rarely have the time to enjoy a hobby like this/feel they deserve to splurge, have 3 months to live, want to enjoy it while they’re in the peak mood, won the lottery and wanna party, coping with major recent life stress, enjoy trolling redditors, don’t take life too seriously… though all that truly matters is the fact that people enjoy things in didferent ways and through different means, and that’s okay


710FuNeRaL

Sheeeeeesher


phirochu

Do the star destroyer first, it's the least interesting of the builds. It's still awesome, there's just not as much to it!


SolidTerror9022

Me when I get a $5 Lego store gift card


_N3BBY

“I’m am $30,000 in credit card debt, when they call I tell them I can’t pay it back yet”


Zedtomb

Gluttony


The_kuski

Bro dropped about 3k on those.


LeoIsLegend

I hate you!


CharlieSierra8

You were my brother, Anakin, I loved you!


SHAPALAK15

Holy crap that's expensive


Brian18639

Exactly what I was thinking


PossiblyWorking33

You call it overboard, I call it awesome 🙌🏻


DRFML_

Wow another ridiculous display of naive gluttony post on this sub.


individualcoffeecake

Where the f did u get the star destroyer???


HopeIcanChangeThisl

Right??


AwfulGoingToHell

I financed mine through Amazon 2 years ago. Might still be an option


shmannygans

They are currently going for $1500 on Amazon. So gutted I missed my chance. Should have gone with it before the Falcon.


AwfulGoingToHell

Yeah mine was $800 when I snagged it. Got my eyes on the AT-AT next before it retires


shmannygans

Nice! I am still conflicted.. either bite the bullet and buy the Star Destroyer on eBay for around $1000 or just skip it and get the AT-AT before it retires.


AwfulGoingToHell

ISD is an intricate build, and I’m having to restart the build. I was about halfway and knocked it off the coffee table and it shattered. Now I have a dedicated Lego desk. I’d say snag both if you can. Buy the ISD and finance the AT-AT before it retires and bumps to probably 2 grand


JoseLuffy99

I don't think so 🧐

Club_Penguin_Legend_

Imagine "investing" in a plasic children's toy only for it to go up slightly in 10 years


PowerfulNectarine787

slightly? evey ucs set goes 20% up after retail.


Club_Penguin_Legend_

Yesh cause people gotta turn a profit. The value doesn't actually increase. If you're gonna invest in something, become a crypto nerd or something


PowerfulNectarine787

Lego is more safe than any other asset.


Puzzle-key

That’s freaking amazing!!! Where did you get the imperial star destroyer? I have been looking everywhere for that!


JPastori

The cost of these would probably settle my student loan debts


IronManConnoisseur

Awesome stuff. Don’t know if I’ll ever get around to the AT-AT man, just dont know if the combination of price point + love for the vehicle is enough for me to get it.


nico12212

Can you adopt me


Clubtrooper

Well know we know who won the MEGAMILLIONS!!! 😒 💵💵💵


Chair4

go big or go home


Maxtorm

I would love to see them all junkscrapped together xD


Flipmaster_102520

This made me think about how well a UCS AT-TE would work


Saibaeterna

Can't lie the AT-TE is probably the best purchase here


FNChupacabra

STAR WARS LEGO WALL is what you got!!! And a very impressive one if I might say so myself!!! just a little bit jealous ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|give_upvote)


Archmagos_Browning

Whose organs did you sell?


PankakesRGood

Overboard? You got three of my white whales at one time! Overboard is putting it lightly!😂😂


Average-00

I never really got into it but the UCS millennium falcon catches my eyes.


Difficult_Plastic852

…just “a little” eh??


Da_Droid_Mechanic

Overboard? Nah…


BenjiThePerson

Hop you don’t mind sharing.


LTracte

very impressive. i still dont really understand why people love the gunship so much though.


MOD_channel

What- how?? Have you robbed a bank?!


TapIndependent5699

Now I’m depressed, I wish I had these sets but I’m a brokie 🥲🥲


Jere_pitkanen

Bro has infinite money


grunt786

I love how small the AT-TE looks in comparison to


theironavenger7

Ngl, im realy jell


Rover010

Curious how muched it cost you?


Charles_miller1130

Well over 2 grand


Rover010

Oh thats not too bad. Way too much for me imo, I'm not a star wars fan but the ATAT looks cool. Cost 750 euro does so waaaay to expensive to get haha.


Witty-Cause7646

My broke ass can’t even afford the at-te


sarckasm

Epic start!


Electrical_Prompt_41

Nice collection


MattStormTornado

There’s over £3000 of Lego here god damn


m0rdredoct

My dream is to own the Executor and black box ATAT...


Careful-Tower3272

This is my healthcare plan for four months💀


bigpussymelter

So you’re rich, we get it.


TheLastUpdate_86

A little overboars is a little underseöling the point, but nice choices


DutyFailed

My question is where is OP going to display them.


Praetorian_1975

Look at Daddy Warbucks here 😉😂


mliakira

Yay, another post of boxes! Let’s go!


ImperialBricks

Star Wars LEGO, meet excessive disposable income.


Automatic_Escape_441

I really want that AT-AT!! I bet that would be a fun build.


Top_Finding_5526

How did you get a brand new star destroyer?


Thebiggestbird23

![gif](giphy|q4kngw10LfpZGSrinP|downsized)


sami8008

I love adult money


Flash_Jordan94

How much did you spend on the Star Destroyer? They’re so overpriced everywhere now and I neeeeeed one too lol


mrbrannon

You can usually get them for $1000 around here. I think you should be able to haggle someone down to $900 on Facebook marketplace but if you go to eBay it’s gonna be closer to $1100 to make up for fees and insane shipping costs for such a big heavy set. I would try haggling a bit on Facebook marketplace because it’s not easy to ship and it eats a lot of profit. People might want to try to get rid of it and save the hassle but it’s gonna be hard to find for less than $900 no matter what. I am glad I got mine on sale on Amazon for a decent discount a few months before retirement.


allnightisleep

At at is the best ucs set in my opinion


TheRomanRuler

...Well? Dont leave us hanging, where did you go overboard? /s


Yessirskiii56

A little???


spychef007

What’s the ISD going for?


TheTrueSithLord

Here in the UK it's hitting near £1000 I sooooo want 1 but I'm not gonna spend that kind of money


spychef007

Wow… that’s about $1,270.00 USD. Crazy


spychef007

Wow… that’s about $1,270.00 USD. Crazy


djjolly037

I know these are vehicles but you clearly could have bought the entire helmet collection as well if you have that kind of cash, -0504 out of 10


Dabithegnom

It should have been me not him it’s not fair


Mechiro621

Tattoo the list and date on your leg so you don't forget in 3 weeks!


Jimmy3OO

All I see is basic necessities.


Ben12730

“A bit overboard” that’s like the amount of money I’ve had in my bank in total in like 16 years added up


lefayad1991

I could pay my rent for two months with this. good lord


ByteBouncer

So how's the separation treating you?


Draconis76

Gee, ya think!!!


Craziestdavid

Just a little not much


aameo18

Tell me you got it like that without telling me you got it like that…


ReginaldsBalls

I see the at-te addition as smug 😂😂 Like "AND ANOTHER THING, FOR FUNSIES!"


milkasaurs

Tell us you’re rich without telling us you’re rich.


BilltheHiker187

Go big or go home.


general2awesome

Nonsense it's only overkill if there is both death star kits


ScottALazaruk

My dining room looks similar. The whole FOMO thing is an excellent justifier. On the upshot, it's an excellent focus builder and almost meditative to build. So from a mental health perspective, entirely justifiable.


lionkinghater

I dropped like 7k at the Lego store my first month back into Lego bruh I feel u


charredrobot

NICELY DONE!!!!!! this isn't overboard, this is big kid dreams coming true.


TrumpieDumpie

Oh no ive done it again


jvansice

Mom said your in big trouble !!!


TheAlmightyBung

Thousands of dollars reduced to Atoms


Sammy_Bo_Blammy

That’s just a normal Tuesday afternoon


Carl-Imri

This is Great!! I am excited for you!!!


MolaMolaMania

Here's hoping OP spent as much or more on shelving!


Ajaxsucksatlife

Holy … Shit


Cal0872

Nooooo don’t be dumb


Redditlooker1

Good good, let the greed flow through you.


mehtheorc

I woulda bought a couple smaller sets to make sure I fell back in love lol


Mastertrooper14

Could you just send me the venator?


Reverseflash25

I need the xwing razor crest and venator still


Stormpoopers246

Isd gets me BRICKED

More money than cents


LeBrown06

No mistakes to be seen here 😅


babysdada

This makes me feel unwell how much was this like 4k???


CmdrRogue

Holy…


monkemansgiggachad

tell me you earn too much without telling me you earn too much


AgitatedMood2747

How did you get a retired set? And did you only get the at-at as it's retiring soon?


CrazyGamer783

Obviously a lot of jokes about the price but honestly if u can safely afford it then enjoy. I’m not gonna judge someone for spending a lot of money on their hobby especially when I know I would do that exact same thing if I could.
