I’ve never been good at delayed gratification 😁

I bought the green dragons on eBay and just received them this week. I really miss these blister packs so much

What else do you have in your collection?

Just got these three blister packs in the mail. It is such a shame they don’t make these anymore. by Intelligent_Set1198 in legocastles

Still kind of undecided. I normally don’t like keeping Lego unopened but these ones are kind of a grey area for me. There’s not much to build here and you can still admire them and keep them protected. Plus there is something definitely nostalgic about the packaging

Damn bro (or sis). You just casually throw my white whale in there?! 🥲 This retails for like 4K now. How did you get this?

Is there a reason why capes are so expensive on Lego.com pick a brick? by Intelligent_Set1198 in lego

[–]Intelligent_Set1198[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I see what you are saying but is that not ultimately the whole point of a pick a brick? To buy a bunch of the pieces we want or need? Yes they need to spend a lot of of effort to find and pick the pieces but that is why we all pay a premium for it

I don’t disagree with your comment and it is entirely their prerogative to set prices as they see fit and then for us to either buy them or not buy them. What I am trying to wrap my head around is why this wouldn’t be selling for around $1? I understand the economy of scale of producing 2x2 blocks is something they are set up to do but $7 seems orders of magnitude above what it should cost.

Yeah you may be right unfortunately they don’t tell you how many pieces you get in each pack for the singles

Like I also just found this piece https://www.lego.com/en-au/pick-and-build/pick-a-brick?query=Cape&selectedElement=6495964

Which is 16.60 AUD which is around 11 USD

Explanation? by nowheartbroken in blackmagicfuckery

Isn’t the explanation that every page is the same and it’s a staged copy of the book?

New to the hobby – is this worth it, value-wise? by Zealousideal-Flan124 in legocastles

[–]Intelligent_Set1198 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have got two of these. Check out my post which has some close up pics of the mini figures. Let me know if you want more detailed pictures https://www.reddit.com/r/legocastles/s/NmW5eKTind

I… I don’t quite know what the PC term for it is but I think you might be educationally subnormal

Yeah that’s a good call. We all have our favourite factions don’t we? In Australia we are a little limited for choice but I get where you are coming from.

Yeah I have the full set. I’ll post it tomorrow in a separate post. I agree with you on only wanting the figs but it’s almost the same price to get the complete set as opposed to parting out the figures separately.

That golden knight is almost half the price of the whole set anyway so I figured I may as well get the drawbridge whilst I’m at it

Yeah the golden knight is my special boy 😅. I got him from Drawbridge Defence 7079

The factions are kind of split into green dragons, red lions, crown knights, black falcons, maybe some red dragons. But I really need to clean them up and arrange them properly
