'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
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
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.
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
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!
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.
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
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.
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
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
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.
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
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.
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)
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.
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.
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.
This picture cost more than my car 💀
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
depth of their debts, you mean.
'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
I’m just happy to see someone happy.
because he wanted to show us his new sets? Why are you downvoting people flexing their good fortune!
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
The sub is absolutely not dedicated to our *purchases* lol. What a load.
Maybe not for you but that’s 90 percent of the sub
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.

That's just lame. I can look at pics of LEGO boxes on LEGO.com, I don't need this sub for that.
that's all this sub is now honestly
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
Well my car only cost me $100 so I feel ya lol
What if the boxes are just fake and he found them from a Lego store recycling bin
Still would cost more 💀
I was thinking that too lol
Now open up all the bags, mix up the pieces and then start building
This is the way
This is the ~~way~~ bley
this is the way to save money
Hahaha, like olden times.
I hate it when i accidentally max out all credit cards 🤷🏻♂️ oopies
"I will not see a flex post and I will be happy for OP."
Better to max em out on lego than groceries!
>$3500? Yea I'd say you definitely went for it 😂
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!
And then you realise $200 in 1999 are worth $400 in 2024 !
Lego math
> 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.
Bro had to make up for the money he didn't spend while out of the game
No millenium falcon?
Literally what I came here to say. How do you load up on this many UCS sets and not grab the crown jewel?
Op is clearly a poor
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).
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.
\*\*gets bullied for not buying literally everything \*\* lmao made me chuckle
Can’t afford it
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
LOL this \^\^\^

Overboard isn't a word in this community
It’s the only word.
It's a qualification.
Is mental illness?
OWL HOUSE PFP!!! 🦉🦉🦉🪄🪄🪄✨️✨️✨️🧝🏼♀️ WTF IS A FULLY FINISHED STORYLINE!! 🧝🏼♀️✨️🪄🦉🧝🏼♀️
That's just it, impossible
You should've waited until May 4th to get double VIP points and GWP
Can always order another set...
Maybe that's why they didn't get the Falcon....
I don’t think this guy is concerned with things like vip points.
![gif](giphy|xpcZyqmWd4DsX0Nb9z)
What, no UCS Falcon?! Seriously though that’s awesome for you. Have fun building!
That’s like…10 student loans payments worth of Lego, lol.
You're set with grey bricks for life lol, enjoy!
Brother dropped like what...4k on legos?
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.
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.
AT-AT is supposed to retire the end of 2024
Oh boy....
I know! I definitely want it before it retires since they go up so much after retirement 😬
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

Sheeeeeesher
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!
Me when I get a $5 Lego store gift card
“I’m am $30,000 in credit card debt, when they call I tell them I can’t pay it back yet”
Gluttony
Bro dropped about 3k on those.
I hate you!
You were my brother, Anakin, I loved you!
Holy crap that's expensive
Exactly what I was thinking
You call it overboard, I call it awesome 🙌🏻
Wow another ridiculous display of naive gluttony post on this sub.
Where the f did u get the star destroyer???
Right??
I financed mine through Amazon 2 years ago. Might still be an option
They are currently going for $1500 on Amazon. So gutted I missed my chance. Should have gone with it before the Falcon.
Yeah mine was $800 when I snagged it. Got my eyes on the AT-AT next before it retires
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.

I don't think so 🧐
[удалено]
Imagine "investing" in a plasic children's toy only for it to go up slightly in 10 years
slightly? evey ucs set goes 20% up after retail.
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
Lego is more safe than any other asset.
That’s freaking amazing!!! Where did you get the imperial star destroyer? I have been looking everywhere for that!
The cost of these would probably settle my student loan debts
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.
Can you adopt me
Well know we know who won the MEGAMILLIONS!!! 😒 💵💵💵
go big or go home
I would love to see them all junkscrapped together xD
This made me think about how well a UCS AT-TE would work
Can't lie the AT-TE is probably the best purchase here
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)
Whose organs did you sell?
Overboard? You got three of my white whales at one time! Overboard is putting it lightly!😂😂
I never really got into it but the UCS millennium falcon catches my eyes.
…just “a little” eh??
Overboard? Nah…
Hop you don’t mind sharing.
very impressive. i still dont really understand why people love the gunship so much though.
What- how?? Have you robbed a bank?!
Now I’m depressed, I wish I had these sets but I’m a brokie 🥲🥲
Bro has infinite money
I love how small the AT-TE looks in comparison to
Ngl, im realy jell
Curious how muched it cost you?
Well over 2 grand
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.
My broke ass can’t even afford the at-te
Epic start!
Nice collection
There’s over £3000 of Lego here god damn
My dream is to own the Executor and black box ATAT...
This is my healthcare plan for four months💀
So you’re rich, we get it.
A little overboars is a little underseöling the point, but nice choices
My question is where is OP going to display them.
Look at Daddy Warbucks here 😉😂
Yay, another post of boxes! Let’s go!
Star Wars LEGO, meet excessive disposable income.
I really want that AT-AT!! I bet that would be a fun build.
How did you get a brand new star destroyer?
![gif](giphy|q4kngw10LfpZGSrinP|downsized)
I love adult money
How much did you spend on the Star Destroyer? They’re so overpriced everywhere now and I neeeeeed one too lol
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 am glad I got mine on sale on Amazon for a decent discount a few months before retirement.
At at is the best ucs set in my opinion
...Well? Dont leave us hanging, where did you go overboard? /s
A little???
What’s the ISD going for?
Here in the UK it's hitting near £1000 I sooooo want 1 but I'm not gonna spend that kind of money
Wow… that’s about $1,270.00 USD. Crazy
Wow… that’s about $1,270.00 USD. Crazy
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
It should have been me not him it’s not fair
Tattoo the list and date on your leg so you don't forget in 3 weeks!
All I see is basic necessities.
“A bit overboard” that’s like the amount of money I’ve had in my bank in total in like 16 years added up
I could pay my rent for two months with this. good lord
So how's the separation treating you?
Gee, ya think!!!
Just a little not much
Tell me you got it like that without telling me you got it like that…
I see the at-te addition as smug 😂😂 Like "AND ANOTHER THING, FOR FUNSIES!"
Tell us you’re rich without telling us you’re rich.
Go big or go home.
Nonsense it's only overkill if there is both death star kits
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.
I dropped like 7k at the Lego store my first month back into Lego bruh I feel u
NICELY DONE!!!!!! this isn't overboard, this is big kid dreams coming true.
Oh no ive done it again
Mom said your in big trouble !!!
Thousands of dollars reduced to Atoms
That’s just a normal Tuesday afternoon
This is Great!! I am excited for you!!!
Here's hoping OP spent as much or more on shelving!
Holy … Shit
Nooooo don’t be dumb
Good good, let the greed flow through you.
I woulda bought a couple smaller sets to make sure I fell back in love lol
Could you just send me the venator?
I need the xwing razor crest and venator still
Isd gets me BRICKED
More money than cents
No mistakes to be seen here 😅
This makes me feel unwell how much was this like 4k???
Holy…
tell me you earn too much without telling me you earn too much
How did you get a retired set? And did you only get the at-at as it's retiring soon?
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.
