Let’s talk Lego!

Also, not trying to feed into FOMO. But we have a Lego store near us and the super cool employee there was adamant about ordering your holiday sets in the next couple weeks. He seemed certain that Lego will be running into both supply and shipping issues this holiday season beyond those that they’re used to dealing with.
 
So I was an avid Lego Star Wars collector from the time I started getting Lego as gifts at age 4 (Same year they started making Lego Star Wars sets I believe) all till high school where I found a buyer for my collection on craigslist, and sold it for what I thought at the time was good money. Of course all those sets have hyper-inflated in the past decade. Look at how much JUST THE BOBA FETT CLOUD CITY minifig is worth. And keep in mind that set had an exclusive Luke and Leia as well.

Holy cow! That’s amazing. I remember when that set was announced, man I was disappointed in the actual set, so I didn’t buy it.

Not sure if you're talking about what I'm referring to, or the 2018 remake.

This is the original with the uber expensive minifigs I regret selling

And this is the remake

Both cool sets for their time! (Though the 2018 one was overpriced IMO)

I've heard really good things about that AT-AT! I was big on Lego Star Wars as a kid, but thats one I never had as a kid. Really wish I got the 2007 motorized one when it was available, but oh well. Only thing keeping me from making this my next lego purchase is the fact that a UCS AT-AT has been confirmed for next year.

The AT-AT is actually my kiddo’s, he’s 7 and he saved his allowance for almost a year to get it! He didn’t spend any of his allowance at the candy store or anything because he was saving for this particular lego. I was so proud of him that once he reached his goal I went in half with him. He was so stoked.
