Adult Fans Of LEGO Have Issues... 

Space is the biggest issue for me! Never have enough and feels like im always getting crowded.. Word of advise, build/buy your wife a house so you can have the basement😉

I blame my current Lego addiction on not being allowed to build Legos as a kid. My kids always had them, but I didn't build my first kit until I was 50. Now I have no space.

A wise man once said: Nur gebrauchtes LEGO ist gutes LEGO.“ Which basically means that only used LEGO is good LEGO because of the pricing and so on.

I’m more of a MOC builder to be honest. I realized after buying a whole wave of sets a few years back that I needed to re-evaluate my habits. I’d spent probably $700 CAD and felt a lack of fulfilment from most of the sets. After that I realized that by zeroing in on a specific wave and theme, I’d missed almost every single other thing I’d wanted to collect that year and now regret my mistake. Don’t let FOMO and hype for a wave combine to make you waste a small fortune. If you want to really enjoy the hobby, build your own stuff. Thanks to Pick-a-brick and Bricklink; any pieces you could need are out there and if you need more, deconstruct some of your sets and just keep the instructions in case you want to rebuild it later.

I was talking with a friend about this, but the dangerous thing about LEGO is that there is no such as a "bad purchase" beyond pricing. Every single set adds value to your piece collection regardless of whether you're interested in the actual set or not. And even if you have zero intention of ever opening the box it's still tempting to open up Brickeconomy and see how rare or valuable that set may become in the future, especially with licensed sets.

Bro couldn’t be more accurate: When I was 10-12 I loved lego star wars and then stopped collecting. Now I am almost 20, got my own money and decided to buy one and build it for the old sake, shit got me to buy 5 501st battlepacks, 212th AT TE, 6 of the new clones vs battle packs, custom minifigs. I am hooked again and it hurts my wallet

Man probably said the term "girlfriend" 30 times in this video lol

How many people actually had allowances as a kid? I don't think my family was really 'poor' per se, but I never got any money except birthdays, and the occasional coin found on the road. The only way I got a Lego set was if I hoped and prayed with every fiber of my being that I might get one for a birthday or Christmas. Now that I have a job though, I can buy all kinds of sets, like my fairly large purchase this January.

I started going through a health thing in my mid 40s about 4 years ago. Randomly bought a set just thinking it might take my mind off things, I'm now the owner of about 100 sets and 300 figures. Space is definitely a problem lol.

I think, as Lego increases their prices, they will push out the younger fans which will hurt them in the long run because when those younger kids grow older, they won’t know the joy of building Lego and it won’t be as nostalgic as it is for us adult fans.

I too have limited space and feel like that’s kind of a blessing. It’s also easier to be an adult fan when you’re a MOC builder first and foremost IMO. Taking the time to be creative, design things yourself, and try to use what you have first before buying parts to complete it - oftentimes you’ll find you had enough bricks and didn’t need to buy anything! It forces you to slow down and consider whether you actually need that new set, that new piece, or whether you can be perfectly fine without it. Even when I do buy official sets, I try to go for ones I can learn something from. Ones with clever building techniques and mechanisms especially. Or also just ones with a lot of interesting pieces that I think could inspire me - Creator sets especially are perfect parts packs for that. It kinda saddens me tbh that the 18+ sets combined with FOMO can easily become a crippling addiction. Sure, it’s bringing in new fans, but they’re not really getting the true LEGO experience of creative expression and developing your skills to create unique MOCs. And I often hear people say “oh I could never be that creative, I just like the build and seeing what makes it clever,” but they don’t realize the beauty of Lego is that it can teach you how to be creative. Too many people resign themselves to displaying something a designer in Denmark created and not believing they can work their way up to also being that creative and making their own things. Also, and I can’t stress this enough, NEVER FALL INTO THE TRAP OF COLLECTING MINIFIGS. I don’t care how much you love that character, they are not worth the ungodly sums minifig collectors pay for them. It’s just a little piece of plastic at the end of the day, if it’s value to you comes from “this is rare and not everyone has it,” you’re going down a dangerous path. Collecting in general is the fastest way to let LEGO ruin your life.

Me - "eventually I'll give these to my little nephews" YEAH RIGHT

8:04 That's so true for me. As a young adult in a third world country where prices are even worse, having the opportunity to occasionally purchase a set feels incredible and I try to capture that emotion when I make my videos; I think that all of us who collect something should transmit that to our audience. Great video!

I feel so called out!!! lol. This has happened to me twice now. In my early 30’s when the Star Wars legos came out, I had to have them all. At a certain point, kids became the priority and the buying stopped. I’m 54 now and it’s all began again because my kids are grown. Now it’s all Creator, Icons and Ideas sets. It never ends (no complaints). Great video man.

Man I felt this. My buddy from work got me back into Legos over the summer, and I already bought the Lego deathstar for around $1600 usd, and about 12 other sets. Now I'm trying to find an appropriate shelving unit to store all the new sets and I have some just laying around in random places. My amazon list pretty much only consists of retired sets and it totals to something crazy like $7000 USD. Sheesh.... Me and my buddy have been talking about buying Lego pieces from brick link and using the official instructions to build them. But yeah, money and space definitely is a problem. Legos are very relaxing to build and it's really satisfying to own sets I always wanted as a kid but never had.

I think what really helped me a lot was REALLY honing in what I actually wanted when it came to sets. Sure, there are so many cool builds and themes but unless I felt that the build blew my mind I just can't justify picking SO much up. A lot of it came from learning more about all of Lego's catalogue and things they remake. If it doesn't hold up to something else, it wasn't worth it to me. Something to look into are anti-hauls. They put products in a frame of mind that not everything is worth your money (to you). Breaking the FOMO is super hard but waiting it out lets you see if you really wanted it that much. You have to learn what intrigues you the most. Think about all of the unforgettable sets you've built and learn what qualities made it unforgettable, and recognize that pattern for the future. I buy sets that correlate to moods, like sometimes I want to be an arctic explorer, why not? Really go for things that you love so much about it. Then you learn how to use ancient magic to make space.

Tbh, when i got back into Lego last autumn after 12 years of not building i just decided to go for Gobricks and other alternative brands instead of Lego. Not sets, but individual bricks for MOCs that i buy of Brickvault or Rebrickable. And most importantly, minifigures. The quality and beauty of offbrand clone troopers is astonishing, and you can get most of them for 1$ each (or 4 droids for 1$). I still use plenty of Bricklink for more exotic parts, and some of my stuff is 100% Lego for convenience and faster shipping. My biggest joy recently has been to digitalize some of my old builds that i pulled out of storage and then upgrade them to today's standard with new parts and techniques. I adore the entire process from analyzing, to redesigning, to finally building the updated physical version. Also started designing some new original builds, mostly inspired by Star Wars concept art. I find this activity so much more fulfilling than just buying official sets.

If you like to MOC, don't sleep on random local listings for bulk Bionicle parts. You can often find multiple sets within them, and you can use the spare pieces for MOCs; I find Bionicle the most fun theme to MOC with.

Increased number of lego investors are driving initial prices up

I completely agree with this video! I got Lego sets as a kid for about 10 years until 2017 when I fell out of the hobby. Then in April 2022 one of my coworkers showed me the Spider-Man Daily Bugle which I thought was pretty cool. So I got it for myself as a reward for finishing that semester of college because I was like, “I never spend my money on anything. I’m gonna treat myself to this set.” It took me 20 hours over the course of several days & I really enjoyed building it. Then I discovered I could buy old sets I always wanted as a kid but couldn’t afford. While it was nice in the beginning getting sets I couldn’t afford from elementary school, at some point that summer I stopped holding back & spent “a very adult amount of money” on sets. It took me until November that year to finish my backlog from that summer. So, as a result I had to get smarter with my purchases since I don’t have an infinite amount of space in my room. I watched multiple reviews of sets I wanted to purchase, I learned I didn’t have to buy entire sets if I just wanted a single minifigure, find 1 or a couple themes you like & try to only get sets from those themes (For me it’s Ninjago, Spider-Man, Space, Monkie Kid, & Jurassic Park/World & I try my best to avoid themes like Disney, Harry Potter, Mario, & Technic.) MOCs are more expensive than retail sets as they get bigger (a $100 set might cost you almost $200 to part out), opinions on sets change so don’t feel bad putting sets in storage, buying older sets are expensive, get smart about looking for deals on non immediate day 1 purchases. I’m definitely a lot smarter with my money now than I was when I 1st got back into the hobby as an adult that summer & I wish I knew some of that back then. I’ve had time to learn what I like & enjoy about the hobby & what I don’t (collecting just to have everything even if you don’t like some of it, Lego investing, army building) & don’t forget to make your own opinions instead of listening to reviewers all the time.

I don’t usually comment in public unless I need more info for DIY but this is the best RU-vid video I have ever seen since my addiction to collection and building Lego has gotten outta control and running out of space is my problem also! WOW!

Well said, Harri! Admittedly, I have a pretty hefty backlog, however they're sets I plan to build. The idea of LEGO is to be able to rebuilding using the same bricks, so you can have unlimited imagination with your collection, not always needing to go and buy the latest sets unless you genuinely want them. I love nostalgic sets and have a few, but majority are pretty new sets so I feel the draw to pick up the older sets.

I love buying bricks and mini-figures, then sorting them and looking at them, posing the figures, etc. I had to stop buying actual sets. Because as you mentioned, I had no room for more sets. If I ever buy my own home, half of it will be for Lego.

yo love the video. nobody talks about this and it's difficult to try to find a solution to these problems. they might be minor problems but when u have very limited money and space its important to know what to buy and when. people like content creators say lego is getting very expensive, but they don't really say much else. absolutely love this video 👍

This is 💯 facts ! I have recently switched hobby’s. My daughters are old enough that Lego has become a thing that I do with my kids. My last hobby was very expensive and the people were a huge disappointment. The fact that I can be in the “upper tier” of hobby is amazing! I have a whole room for building and displaying. The fact that I CAN buy a set every paycheck is fantastic. Lego holds some value. I have something tangible to resell if I ever change hobby’s again! Learning about everything that happened when I was in my dark ages has been fun. best of all, everyone Iv interacted with has been cool and respectful. I don’t see nasty comments like everywhere else on the internet!

I agree with everything you said except the idea of selling Lego when your done with them. Because why would you buy it if weren't going to keep it for the long run (means you didn't really care about it that much in the first place)? Spare parts are spare parts. You might need those parts later on even if you are done with the set they originally came from. I still find myself recycling parts from my childhood sets to make new builds to this very day. I wouldn't be able to continuously build and practice if I kept selling my old stuff off.

"He who knows that enough is enough will always have enough." - Lao-Tze

The solution I’ve come to is that I have a whole wall of shelves dedicated to displaying LEGO. And whatever I own has to be on those shelves. If I wanna buy something new, I gotta sell another set to make room for it.

This was so relatable lmao great video! I try to pick one theme to avoid getting overwhelmed, and even then the space quickly becomes an issue

Dang brother, I feel all your pain, I went through all this in 2020, and it didn’t help that I was working at at bricks and minifigs at that time! While I was there I was able to really ramp up my SW collection and my Bionicle! Now most of the sw I’ve had to sell because of life and kiddos and what not, but I just opened up my Bionicles that I had picked up for Afew years and I’m starting to really feel the fomo again😂😂

I appreciate when someone makes these kinds of videos, where person points out issues of whatever they, and other people similar to them, doing in their daily lives

Most of this goes for all collectors. I'm not a big Lego collector (have some old school Xastle sets), but I collect a lot of stuff. Yes, the space is a problem. Yes, the money can be a problem.. But you know what? It makes me happy! So as long as I'm not hurting anyone (and I'm not) - I'm not ashemed of anything.

I ONLY buy 2 sets a year. And only buy towards the end of the year so I can see all the sets and that way I can make a well rounded decision.

I NEVER thought I would be a fan with a backlog but when you’re collecting the entire Harry Potter theme and you’re main shelf is full it’s easier just to leave sets in the box lol

My wife absolutely LOVES that I had all of my LEGO sets in the living room for all to see 😎

I hate seeing how good the At-Te looks in the background of your video. I’ve always wanted one, but never got one because they are so expensive. Anyway, my main excuse is that I will want this set someday when it is retired, and if I don’t get it now, I’ll hate myself later for not getting it. The more I see it, the more my mind tries to trick my into buying it!😫

Honestly for collecting I recommend doing a revolving door approach of selling stuff that isnt interesting anymore or is languishing in storage. I did the same thing to my old transformers stuff while using the money to buy stuff i was interested in.

Really good video. I collect Lego Star Wars (along with a couple other non-Lego brands), and knowing where to set your limits is very important, especially when you are sharing space with a significant other.

When I was a kid, my Mother refused to buy Lego sets as they were comparably very expensive to other Toys (sadly, that's still pretty much the case). I began collecting in the early 90's with newer models, and finding some great sets at Antique and comic book shops... when ebay first appeared, it was Lego collecting heaven! You could pretty much find everything, AND it was being sold as something used, and collectors weren't going bonkers with their bids, so you could load up on Lego models for still less than what they were being retailed at when in stores. Around 2010, that's when the resale, and comic/collectable shops began to bump up their minimum bids, and ebay established enough of a database where if you had something to sell, you could add it to the mix, and would see what the shops were listing them for, and began to see dollar signs... Now, we have the collectors market where people are actually investing in Lego, and prices for older models have gone through the roof. I must admit, I miss the old days when collecting Lego was fun, you could find what you wanted, and it didn't break the bank or create a negotiation inside your head.

The scammers that grab up all the Lego stock and resell it for double the price is what’s wrong with the hobby, they need to put purchase limits on them like the pokemon card scammers.

My biggest excuse is "its might retire soon or its retiring this year" did that with daily bugle and blacksmith

Definitely lacking space to display every set I have, let alone any new sets. I like the idea of rotating some in and out, to change up the display.

I agree with that last bit which I feel most of us who have are childhood collections on display are that way... which I personally battle FOMO by building MOCs at the old MSRPs and buy from bricklink/pick a brick online... Though I still get sets on launch but only if I really, really want them like the new clone vs droid pack and the new city in space sets.

Holy *, listening to you I had a hit of reality just in my face... everything you say applies to me... in fact lately I started to realize I don't enjoy Lego the same because of all these issues you mention. I feel need to relax a bit and totally reconsider my position about how to collect Lego before is too late and totally hate it. Thanks!

The thing I’ve figured out is I just focus on one single theme of Lego, mine is Marvel, which yes means I have spend a lot on the Modular’s for them… which also leaks into the regular Modular’s too. So it’s not particularly a problem for me, as I have one table for my “city” and a bin to put any sets and pieces that are disposable, but I completely understand your struggle

Love your various 8-bit Star Wars art animations in the background.

I think there was one year in the mid 90s that I didn't get a single Lego Set, otherwise I've been getting Lego Sets since the mid-late 80s. I even started using PDFs to build with from the late 00s. I have boxes of instruction books in my closet, and keep trying to reorganize them every so often. I have boxes with Polybags, since I get multiples in case I need parts from them to build something.

My biggest excuse is usually "I'm probably gonna buy sooner or later, so why not sooner?" It doesn't help that I work at a Legoland.

“The price per piece is perfect. I’ll never get it at this price point again,”

I loved lego as kid, got back into it like you during COVID. Because I am limited in my space, I usually build, display, then sell it to buy new sets!

Well said man , I’m 23 just got back into it I got thousands of dollars in old Lego Star Wars from the early 2000s boxes and sets still complete and after going thru those I got hooked again and yup money goes quick collecting, I haven’t opened up any of the sets with over $800 spent on the new stuff so far

Great video. Applies to pretty much any collectible hobby. And asking your significant other if they are ok with spending so much money and space on your hobby is not strange at all, it's a matter of fundamental respect and understanding if you want to live with that person.

Enjoy the journey! I have every Lego Star Wars set I want (500+) and while it's great to look at all of them together in their dedicated display room, the most cherished moments happened when I bought sets I've wanted since I was a kid. My biggest issue, if you will, is when to buy new sets. I'm always on the lookout for the best value for my money (hence why I don't understand your affiliation with bricks&minifigs apart from content) and I often struggle to decide whether a discount is good enough or if I should wait for better.

I’ve collected MP Transformers for yrs and got a little bored with the line till my college student son asked for LEGO for Christmas to build and now I just finished to sets of my own and have a helmet to build to build.

Got a few of the smaller sets from the original 1999 wave as a kid. My parents didn't have lots of money for the biggest sets, but it didn't matter to me, I loved my little Phantom Menace collection. As a teenager, I moved on pretty quickly after that. Got back into collecting randomly in 2021, when someone got me a small Lego set as a joke Christmas present. I then bought the microfighter Falcon for 'another laugh' while food shopping. You know the rest 😂😅 I now probably have around 50-100 sets which I'm dangerously running out of space for in my little flat. I also have an extensive collection of 500+ minifigs. This includes the OG Darth Vader I always wanted as a kid, and was finally able to pick up 25 years later. Bless this hobby 🙏

The struggle is real. :) I really want the LEGO Concorde but I have no idea where I’d display it once completed.

I like that Lego arctic lab you have in the background on your shelf! I want to get it on sale someday before they discontinue it

Great video what sign is that behind you it looks amazing and might pick one up 🤔

True facts. I even start to have space issue to store all unbuild set boxes! 😁

My solution is to only buy a few fun random sets, but I choose one them to hard-core collect. I collect classic space, and those are finite in number.

I've spent almost a decade looking at really cool LEGO sets while browsing the store with my nephew and never caught the bug until a few weeks ago. I watched the SW movies during the holidays which got me excited about the universe again. I started looking for some models to display around my desk but all the sets I really liked were either too large or very expensive (there are Chinese 1:1 knockoffs on many sets for those on a tight budget). Eventually I came across the MOC (My own creation) side of LEGO which checked off all my requirements. I've found incredible designs of every vehicle I could think at different scales and beautiful dioramas. When I see what a single person can create and the costs to build it (at least at the scale I want) I can only say that LEGO is a very greedy company. The only inconvenience for MOC designs is getting the parts from different sellers for the best price and waiting for everything to arrive.

Fear of missing out is so real, resellers jack up the price so much TwT

In order to save a few bucks, I try to wait until sales or until sets are about to retire. For instance, I just picked up the 2022 AT-TE for $40. Sure it was tough waiting for Cody for a year but he wasn’t going anywhere. When I buy sets now, I buy 2, open one and store the other in a box to sell in 5-10 years. Definitely not a solution to a space problem, but I’m hoping it pays for this crippling addiction down the line

I've kept a few sets, but I mostly build, take down, and pass along to another family. Feels good to me!

What you mentioned with the AT-AT set happened to me with that same set a year ago 😆

“Dedicate one bookcase for my sets” yeahhhh I have that same bookcase….. times 5 🙃 I never go “oh I should deconstruct some of these to make room” it’s always “well time to get another bookcase” 😂2:56

I will stick to my Bionicles... Oh wait. How much? For that little guy? Damn.

This is such a great topic, thank you for bringing it up. I’ve had some interest in creating a video like this myself. I think it’s important to discuss this amongst the adults and take a hard reality check on our collections !

Dude this video literally hits so close to home for me. Always trying to get more money, never have enough space for more Lego. Bills, GF always have to come first, and that is really important. I love Legos so much, and I grew up with Star Wars especially, and Ninjago. Its really unfortunate but I had to pick one over the other in terms of collecting, so I chose Ninjago. I dont regret it, really, but man all of the newer star wars sets are so freaking cool! I think I am gonna try to invest in a larger shelf, and maybe a tote for my older sets that I can either sell on eBay, or put into storage. I love legos as an adult but man life really gets to ya, great video dude.

W simp imo you’ll have a bigger room in the future so don’t worry about it. you were spitting fax in this video i just bought huge shelves from Ikea 2 months ago and i already need more because i keep buying retired sets that i always wanted as a kid. Great vid as always

Resellers buying up retiring products and selling them for absurd prices doesn’t help fomo either. I just bought the winter set that comes with a trolly because it’s retiring and I know that if I don’t get it now it will probably be 150 bucks in a couple of weeks

I was so glad to see you mention Bionicle, I hope you're gonna make videos about Bionicle in the future

Can you please tell us about the animated frame in the background? Where can we get it from?

I do toy photography and this has helped me and distracted me. I get into adding special effects in my photos and it’s a helpful distraction.

4:25 The realization that I can (in theory) buy every set I wanted as a kid was both exciting and daunting at the same time. What I wanted most growing up were the modular building sets.

I just got into Legos yesterday after so long(since I was very very little) It started snowing like crazy here lately. Picked up the the Lego City Arctic Set Snowmobile. The box was a bit beat. Can’t find a new one anywhere

bro that Slave I and the star destroyer on the bottom shelf were my favorite sets as a kid

Great video and really highlights the importance of being mindful with our collections. I’m constantly recycling lego sets on a single black shelf as well! (I'll still then save many of those sets in my closet tho I'm only human😅). Also Star Wars🤝🏼Bionicle. Love to see it!

lol the first 17 seconds is exactly what im going through right now. i just picked up the botanical set in early december, since then ive bought the nes, starry night, some technic car (also my first technic set) and a few retired dimension sets. costed a bit of money but man its so worth it

Best way I find is to just keep a wishlist. If I still want it 48hrs+ later then I'll grab it, if not it'll just sit there. Getting past ownership FOMO for sets is the best way, you don't need to own every set to appreciate it. Also, waiting until Lego do their offers is really good too. Double points or free sets.

“I’m not the Jedi I should be… I want more.”

My excuse is always "who's gonna stop me? I can do what I want"" 😂😂

Really loving your content! You're preaching to my lego life. I have to ask, what is that LED screen behind you, I couldnt take my eyes off it???

Well tbh, when I was a kid I didn't have a source of income whenever I had the chance to purchase a set such as the Millennium Falcon Man I finally got my hands on it, and it was worth it!

This hits me really really hard with the lack of space and FOMO. It sucks so bad with FOMO when you need money for stuff that actually needed

my biggest excuse for buying lego that i probably don't need is "oh, i can use this for an animation" but the animation never really comes. i always have idea, but never act on them as for the CMF that you bought just cus you felt like missing out. at least you gave it to someone who would enjoy it more, most people are just disappointed with themselves enough to hide it, like an addiction almost. you don't seem that out of control which is good

Thanks for your video, I can totally relate with EVERYTHING you said 😆 still being able to save enough per month but I still need to cut down a bit on it 😆 but need more regular troopers first.... and then new sets come that I want again... DAMN YOU SALES AND DESIGNER PEOPLE AT LEGO FOR MAKING GOOD SETS!

i’m not even an adult (high school) and since i’ve had my own job with my own disposable income i can relate to this. even before i had my own job i got back into lego and started spending all my money and once i got a job it multiplied tenfold. good things it’s worth it tho

Thank you for this amazing video.I am happy to know that I am not the only one with all the problems you described here.I basically live for lego the last 3 years.Spent so much money on it but for me it was money well spent.And I'll keep spending it :-)

I decided to have a small collection of Legos of my fav characters. I wanted a big one before, but realized I didn't want to have too much space taken up with my collection. So I decided to opt for a small collection instead with my main favorite characters from a series. To have my top favs and a small area to have them at. After buying the Razor Crest, I realized sets can be very expensive and can take up a good amount of space. I had to reconsider after that.

I have a daily bugle that is put into the different sections and in my shelf’s , I only collect Star Wars because it’s my favourite and some set are under my bed sadly idk what to do with them a lot of them aren’t compatible what do you think I should do sell them or keep them for parts ??

Bionicle is definitely a slippery slope. I only started buying them a couple years ago and now I have way too many. A bunch are just sitting in drawers because I don’t have space for them, and sometimes I wonder why I bought them at all if I don’t even see them most of the time. But I keep buying more with the excuse that the prices are just getting higher and higher so if I don’t buy them now they’ll be too expensive to get later. It’s definitely a problem

Ya I definitely have the problem of thinking a certain set isn't going to be there next time I get to the store so i get it even if i shouldn't and watch it still be there like a year later

My experience has been pretty good getting back into it. I just get stuff that I can display that wont be embarrassing to have to explain to anyone walking into my house. Basically limits me to Botanical and the Creator Expert vehicles.

I hate fomo. All the extremely good sets came out before I could afford them, better sets are coming out as I try and save up for the old ones, and space for em keeps disappearing. I just re organized my room to better fit everything. And I still gotta put stuff on the floor😭

Beyond the aforementioned lego issue, I caught the Metal Earth bug lol They're smaller and wayyyyy cheaper but they still have a way of multiplying

I am a kid and what I do when I run out of space is I put it in my attic and put my new sets in the old space

“Dew it” - My brian the moment I enter a lego store

I collect mostly Star Wars. But also a bit of Minecraft. I don’t “want” to buy Minecraft sets anymore, but my excuse sometimes is “I don’t have that piece in my LEGO Minecraft universe yet.”🤷‍♂️

I never really had a time where i wasnt into lego, growing up i just slowly transitioned from sets to moc's but i have never not been into lego. My current collection consists mostly of pieces from my childhood sets (mostly city and Minecraft themes, with a few others). Now i am a student who just doesnt have money to buy many new pieces, so i am just working with what i already have
