I wondered how those all looked displayed together. Cool how you snuck the Sesame Street set in with the rest of it. It reminded me of a Fisher Price Little People I had as a kid.

Found a beat to shit BTS Dynamite set in the clearance aisle at WM. Usually $100, bought it for $65. The coffee shop and record store might squeeze into my town somewhere, or I can just use the pieces to build something new.
And maybe flip the minifigs and get some of the money back. I could give a shit about them.

i pulled the trigger on the Daily Bugle. i got some money for xmas/bday and i've been pining for this one since it was announced. it was backordered with a 60 day wait time, then the wait was reduced to "ships by January 19th" which is when i ordered it. after i ordered it, it was back up to 60 days. and yet it arrived last night! got the "retro food truck" GWP along with it.
started building it, only through #2 bags. now where am i going to put it?
LEGO now has the "4 biweekly interest-free installments" payment option (through paypal) which is like, the only way i buy anything anymore. i have a separate "discretionary account" checking account with a small direct deposit which i call "my allowance". as long as the payments align with the deposits, it's great! the list of things i've done that with in the past year via shop pay, klarna, or paypal includes
SaberForge lightsaber parts
Randolph Sunglasses
Inovelli Smart dimmer switches
Govee Smart Outdoor Floodlights
2 pairs of Vans shoes
Creality K1 3D printer
LEGO Daily Bugle

I also have the Retro Food Truck GWP coming.
I got the small Range Rover set, the new Sailboat, the new small Steam Roller, the Auspicious Dragon, and the Pirhana Plant.
I’m still waiting for the Loop Coaster to come back in stock. It says ‘temporarily’ but I’m beginning to wonder…

I got the Interstellar Spaceship. You know how on the original Kenner X-Wing fighter had a feature where you push R2's head down and the wings moved? They did something like that on this ship. There is a button behind the cockpit that moves the tail thrusters.

Used my VIP points and got the Loop Coaster. The GwP is a micro build of three Classic Space sets.
There’s a new Medieval Town Square set coming out soon. It will go nicely with the Blacksmith set I got last year, and also my Medieval Market Square set from 2009.

yeah, that micro space build is really a lot of fun! after my Daily Bugle purchase, I have $100 in VIP points, so might be time to catch up on the modular building series. I need Boutique Hotel, Jazz Club, and Natural History Museum.

My wife gave me the 1989 Batwing for Valentine's Day. I gave her the roses.
I have about 1200 points. I'll keep saving, but I have no idea what to get with the points.

LEGO revealed a new "UCS" style GotG Milano in the same scale as the Benetar. it looks awesome!
i didn't buy the Benetar even though i was intrigued, but this is a must.

i'm hearing $170 or $180, which is not terrible compared to all the $300+ sets out there.

Fffffffffffffuck. The Bricklink Series 2 went live today and I missed out on the Brick Cross train station.
I managed to pre-order an Ominous Isle, which is pretty cool looking, but I really wanted that fucking train station.
Also, Series 5 is up for voting thru June 16th. Get over there and pick your faves. Unless your faves are fucking stupid. Then don’t go to their website.

I was recently lamenting in the SW topic how I had not yet opened my Lego Cantina set. It’s much worse than that. Here’s all the sets I’ve accumulated that haven’t been built yet. And on the floor opposite are the Lion Knight’s Castle, The Loop Coaster, and the Orient Express.

So your hobby is to just buy Lego sets and not build them?
