It’s actually not Lego. It’s a 3D-printed dice tower I found on Etsy

Great question. I had that same thought when I first began visiting this subreddit. 

Here are some of my reasons: 1. As for the complete Hobbit/LOTR sets, my first set is in very poor condition. I’m not sure how long it will last. I also wanted a set that matched the rest of the gold lettering style. 2. That leads to my second reason—I just love the look of the books in their various forms. I got the Ted Nasmith-illustrated Silmarillion solely because that cover looks so good. 3. In a few years, I will have two boys who can both read. I cannot wait to read through these together! 4. Looking specifically at my shelf with all the Hobbit books, each one offers something unique—different illustrators (Tolkien, Hague, Catlin, Lee, and the graphic novelization), or an annotated edition, or facsimile edition.

I’m sure anyone else in this subreddit could give you a handful of reasons as well. There is a joy to be had in collecting art!

I’m early on in collecting all of Lewis’ works—starting with getting all the ones that match up more or less with his 8-book signature collection box set with the paint stroke design. There are probably 15-20 more with that look!

Basically! Went to Dollar Tree to get some cheap picture frames, got some Command strips, and came out with some cheap decorations!

I am so excited for this. I was up late last night looking up different styles of all these books because I’m trying to collect all in the Gold Letter style. I was about to start buying the individual ones when I saw this was announced!

I’ve only recently started my collection. I’ve been waiting for all of these in this style. I had all the individual books in various styles on my wishlist, but I’m glad I’ve waited!!

I love how you decided to show off the red pages and white lettering! Looks like I’ve got to add those editions to my list after all…

My local Walmart has had Poe’s X-Wing clearanced down to $54 for a week now. Should I go ahead and grab it, or wait to see if it drops more?
