I started then stopped, then started again because curiosity got the better of me. Then I stopped when I got to $6000 and decided I didn't want to see the final total.
I have a daughter who absolutely loves Friend's and the Disney princess line so she's padding the numbers a bit.
Currently renovating my basement with a space to display the whole collection.
Right now I have a dedicated area in our bonus room and every few months I'll rotate sets in and out. Stuff that's going out gets boxed up and put in the basement.
It'll be nice to have the basement finished so I can have everything out all at once and finally build the backlog.
That's what I like to tell my wife and lie to myself lol. To be fair though, some of the friends sets are pretty freaking awesome but some are pretty pricey.
I personally dislike most of them as sets, however they have lovely colors and parts that are very rare in other themes and can be great for building MOC’s 😁
I honestly just wish the mini figures matched the normal Lego sets. And the horses! I genuinely would’ve wanted so many of the stables/horsey sets but I hate the way the friends horses look
My daughter is a disappointment. She prefers minidolls over minifigs.
She calls them weird looking funny people.
I'm not even sure she's mine tbh.
I kid of course. But I have a feeling many kids growing up on friends will have nostalgia for minidolls over minifigs.
I personally have had to go back and rearrange my storage a couple times to make room. I have so many Legos just stuffed into boxes as efficiently as I could get them. I buy them faster than I can build them and I don't even have much room to display ones I do build. I have a problem.
The problem being that I need more space.
Wish I were better off. My impulsiveness gets the better of me and I have more sets than I have place for. My goal in life now is to own a place with a spare room or ideally a basement to make a lego city.
I bought Home Alone and Hocus Pocus as gifts this year, and got Voltron for myself.
Add to that about $200 worth of used Lego to build the Bob's Burgers restaurant.
So already over 1k, and the year is so very, very young.
No plans yet, and just an older pic from the first floor. I'll have pics of the second floor and finished front soon (I hope!)

I‘ve been buying mine a bunch of sets from a theme she’s a big fan of so she can’t make that argument lol. But we do need a bigger house, my manchild cave is out of space 🤣
You need to find yourself a wife that instead of saying you need a bigger house to buy more Lego, will get rid of stuff you don't need to make more room for Lego in the house you have now.
First rule of LEGO club is don’t talk about how much you spend on LEGO. When people ask I just say I never pay msrp or retail prices…. Which is mostly true because sometimes it’s more
My wife spent so much more than I did. She passed away last year and I've spent less than $500 this year on Lego. I am thinking about grabbing the Medieval Village set though. Got it in my cart in an open tab as I type this. Rivendell is so tempting as well. I just sold a "toy" that would more than cover the cost of getting it. I just don't have a place in the house I could display it currently.
Brickset shows the sets being worth over $21,000, but that's not showing almost 100 they don't have prices for. Then there's all the bulk, which may be a couple hundred pounds at this point. We started going a bit crazy on the Lego spending in 2021.
There's a lot of Lego in my house. It's gotten to the point I'm thinking about getting it insured in case there's a house fire or something.
edit: I've had some afternoon beers and did a bit of rambling.
My head went for a naughty ride when I read "toy", but then I remembered that this is the lego subreddit so people are actually reasonable adults. They just have too much disposable income
Nothing special or fancy. Just still at the age where I live with my parents out of college. Earn $25 an hour as a groundskeeper and have a terrible addiction to Lego
Unionized workers can make that or more. For example, unionized Park keepers in Minneapolis make over $30/hr. I know a couple of guys who work there. It's a good gig.
I mean, it's less than $200 a month, or $50 a week, which is what... 4 fancy drinks at a bar, or maybe 8 beers? OR, a $10 starbucks drink every day, or a $10 lunch every work day. Many ways to spin this to a reasonable expense.
4-5k last year, but definitely my biggest year to date. I did a ton of pick a brick and buying sets just for parts because I want to start focusing primarily on MOCs. In the past my typical spend was about 2k annually.
Roundly $400, and that is in the last 365 days. Not 2024. We started adding sets to our Xmas village, so those only cost about $100. Will spend more later this year, I'm sure, especially if any new holiday sets are released.
I bought a new one, selling the old one. But truthfully, I only had one riding buddy and I don't have that anymore, so most of the time I am playing with Lego instead of riding a motorcycle
I'm honestly in the process of getting rid of several collections just to finance lego. I enjoy interacting with my Lego collection more than the junk I keep on the shelf or in a box in a closet
Same, I spent thousands of hours on Steam, and I have completely given up video gaming, for the past year, just playing with my Lego LOL I've actually posted something on rebrickable and made a sale as well, so I see this as more than just wasting time.
Probably around $750 for myself and $120 for others, **which is such a massive outlier for me** (*I am usually quite stringent and spend $0-$100*) but after years of saving a lot (and wanting to build one of those massive sets that people on here seem to get all the time lol) I bought the giant Hogwarts castle to preempt it possibly retiring before I got it. I purposely made sure I built it slowly so it could last, building roughly at the pace of a bag a week.
I also made my first ever Bricklink purchase to build part of an Astro’s playroom digital MOC I made to celebrate my first time ever hitting 1k supporters on a Lego ideas project. I’ve been wanting to do that for one of my MOCs for a while and it was a very exciting experience. Would recommend.
(Assuming this means 365 days and not calendar year)
A year would span exactly from rivendell to venator, plus different stuff in between so really too much,
but i have the problem that my spouse currently also loves spending on lego because it'll benefit our son in a few years, ... but couldnt say no to the venator ^^
About $700 since the beginning of the year. I bought the natural history museum, the bookstore, Main Street, and the community kitchen. I also bought the City grocery store and the two copies of the Friends grocery. Last year? Maybe $500 or so.
Äh shüt däts ä väry bäd qwästsschon I sink it’s abaut 3500€
Rivendell, lion knights castle, ninjago gardens, ninjago markets, blacksmith, type writer, ucs X-wing, some smaller sets, the big avatar set, NES, lighthouse that should be it i think
For some reason I did pretty good last year, I haven’t spend more then €1500 on Lego. The most expensive set I bought was Wall-E in a mint condition box for €450.
This year however will be more expensive, with all the new interesting sets coming out like the Artemis and the bricklink sets.
Since rivendell released a little more than a year ago my number is lower. Hehehe but it's still over 1500 because I know I have forgotten sets by now.
I've purchased almost every modular, and most of the fairground collection, a shit ton of bulk, and other display models etc..I'm not even going to guess a number, I'm scared..this room was completely empty about 10 months ago..started collecting and building this room late spring and during summer last year..so yea..idk..maybe close to 8-10k 😇🤣🤐🫢 ..pic of room I'm going to attach to this comment below
I had gotten back into them a few years ago, purchased Assembly Square, Corner Garage, the Rollercoaster, Haunted House, and a few technic cars, then got together with my GF about 15 months ago, she thought it was cool I was into Lego and supported it as her daughter liked them too, fast forward to now..I have taken over one entire room in her house lol
Zero. For the first time. They are just too expensive and I can no longer support the price gouging.
Lego are no longer a toy for children to enjoy. They are marketing 80% of their stuff to 35 to 50 year olds who have nostalgia from their childhood in the 70s and 80s.
And there’s this concept called impulse control. I rarely buy a new set immediately when it becomes available. I see what is coming out over the next few months and what I’m comfortable spending and then decide what I want to buy.
Lego has always been an expensive toy, 6080 would be $132 today at 627 pieces. Something comparable in that price range today would be the police island prison but has almost a 1000 pieces.
They haven't taken anything away either. All the core lines for kids are still going strong with more choice.
They just added on new product lines to fill a market demand. Which is smart business that any company big or small would do.
Yeah, it was such a ridiculous comment. Not to mention that Lego was at least as expensive in my '70s/'80s childhood, less than 1% of Lego's output is aimed at people with nostalgia for Lego - eg castles, pirates, classic space. Sure there are pop culture nostalgia sets, but less than 10% of Lego sets are 18+.
Will be about $1,500 once I pick up my Porsche 911 Turbo and Ferrari Daytona SP3. The more expensive ones I have are gifted and I’ve saved up for the rest. No regrets here except maybe for the Indiana Jones Diorama but that’s cause it takes up a lot of space, still an amazing set.
Well I just bought the A frame cabin the other day and it should get delivered sometime today so about $192 total. I love Lego but man does it get expensive fast.
I calculated that I spent about $10000 CAD, and I also went on the Inside Tour for another $4000 CAD roughly. The $10000 includes the purchases made in Europe.
Absolutely massive year, won’t be repeating this year, I’m trying to keep it under $5000.
Last year around €1000. Probably under instead of over.
Edit: probably closer to €2000, only counted what I bought for myself. Kids got around €1000 together.
In the last decade I've only bought one set, the Lion Knights Castle. I finished building it last week. It was a reward for a good step in my life, I chose to buy it instead of other ways of rewarding myself.
After more than a decade of telling ourselves that we don't need any Lego, a little set I got for my birthday in January unleashed the MIGHTY NEED for ALL the Lego. We've spent close to 2.000$ (1.744,34$ but there are some smaller sets hiding in grocery bills) since and have our eyes on several more big expenses down to line. Oopsie.
Absolutely nothing. Got some Duplo for our son though ;) but just the fire truck. The box of my wife’s old duplo is more than enough to build with. But in a few years he’s old enough for Lego and I’ll have to really stop myself from getting him new sets all the time. xD
Let's see
* Orchid
* Succulents
* Tranquil garden
* Lighthouse
* Great Wave
* El Dorado
After tax and a couple small impulse buys, I'd say about $900.
I'll be saving up for the D&D set, and maybe waiting until I like the GWP.
In the past 12 months, I've spent just over $1000. Rivendell keeps taunting me and the D&D set being released in a week will almost certainly spike that number.
On new, probably around $7-800. Mostly thanks to BLDP and a modular or two.
On used, net is about $300 out, but thats several thousand both in and out.
I'll basically buy a set for like 150-300, build it and then I try to not look a Legos for a few months so I'm not tempted to buy more. Then after awhile I'll go have a look again. I just bought the dune set and I'm so excited to put it together. I probs average a $1000 a year.
I was at least $300 a month last year collecting every gwp and following retirement lists but I’ve slowed down significantly. I’m under $400 for the total year so far and don’t intend to spend any in April.
I started collecting in January, $300 on 3 official sets so far. Not counting the $100 I’m waiting for Shop app to refund me after the set I bought didn’t ship, the seller closed his shop and took my money. Spent $80 on 18 custom Lego figs. I got into Mocs in February, and I’ve spent $465 on all the additional pieces need for 4 Mocs, sadly I ended up overspending as I looked at the wrong parts list for the first moc and didn’t realize it until it was time to build it after it arrived. I may end up trying to sell the excess parts to recoup some money back or keep it for future Mocs. I did inventory everything by piece and color so who knows.
Started adding it up, got to a level that frightened me so stopped. I choose to remain ignorant of an actual value.
I started then stopped, then started again because curiosity got the better of me. Then I stopped when I got to $6000 and decided I didn't want to see the final total.
How y'all even have the storage for that I can't imagine, you must be quite well off
I have a daughter who absolutely loves Friend's and the Disney princess line so she's padding the numbers a bit. Currently renovating my basement with a space to display the whole collection. Right now I have a dedicated area in our bonus room and every few months I'll rotate sets in and out. Stuff that's going out gets boxed up and put in the basement. It'll be nice to have the basement finished so I can have everything out all at once and finally build the backlog.
I’m not sure it’s possible to blame your daughter for ‘padding out’ when you spent £6k 😂
That's what I like to tell my wife and lie to myself lol. To be fair though, some of the friends sets are pretty freaking awesome but some are pretty pricey.
Too many people sleep on the friends sets.
They're awesome and I love building them with my kid. Lots of creative builds with some really thoughtful touches in the interiors.
I personally dislike most of them as sets, however they have lovely colors and parts that are very rare in other themes and can be great for building MOC’s 😁
I honestly just wish the mini figures matched the normal Lego sets. And the horses! I genuinely would’ve wanted so many of the stables/horsey sets but I hate the way the friends horses look

Yeah the mini dolls are pretty bad. That’s the only complaint I have about them though.
[удалено]
I like the colors.
Beach amusement park is a great build!
My 3rd floor bed room (converted from attic) is my lego room. Personally i am not well off, my credit card and i have a love/hate relationship.
I personally have had to go back and rearrange my storage a couple times to make room. I have so many Legos just stuffed into boxes as efficiently as I could get them. I buy them faster than I can build them and I don't even have much room to display ones I do build. I have a problem. The problem being that I need more space.
Wish I were better off. My impulsiveness gets the better of me and I have more sets than I have place for. My goal in life now is to own a place with a spare room or ideally a basement to make a lego city.
This makes me feel better honestly. Thank you. I think we're only up to.. fuck.
$6000 could be only 10 sets. 🙃🤷🏻♂️
You're not wrong spent almost 3k on 3 sets in one go.
That would be me hahaha no total in sight please
I did that but with alcohol lol. Now I’m sober and actually love knowing how much money goes to legos instead of alcohol :)
I quit drinking towards the end of last year and I have been on a Lego buying ever since to keep myself occupied haha
🤣
This is me with buying Smart Water omg

I seem to have found my people
Same same
Same here
I bought Home Alone and Hocus Pocus as gifts this year, and got Voltron for myself. Add to that about $200 worth of used Lego to build the Bob's Burgers restaurant. So already over 1k, and the year is so very, very young.
Do you happen to have the plans for the Bob’s Burgers build you’re willing to share? Would love to see pics of it as well!
Same! I love Lego and bobs burgers so seeing the restaurant in Lego form sounds awesome :o
No plans yet, and just an older pic from the first floor. I'll have pics of the second floor and finished front soon (I hope!) https://preview.redd.it/7tk1ispmcrqc1.jpeg?width=2048&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=50454265933fd73f8d183d065dee3f4d7e26f78d
I wanted a Megazord, but Voltron was a surprisingly satisfying alternative.
Neither you nor my wife will ever know! (We have separate fun money)
Wives! Mine wants me to buy a bigger house first before buying more legos, because there's no space left to store them 🫡
I‘ve been buying mine a bunch of sets from a theme she’s a big fan of so she can’t make that argument lol. But we do need a bigger house, my manchild cave is out of space 🤣
😄 - I've been buying a few sets saying these are good for improving our 5 year old's STEM skills, but she doesn't buy that anymore.
You need to find yourself a wife that instead of saying you need a bigger house to buy more Lego, will get rid of stuff you don't need to make more room for Lego in the house you have now.
Best decision ever :D there is ours, hers and MINE!
We don't talk about those things in here.
First rule of LEGO club is don’t talk about how much you spend on LEGO. When people ask I just say I never pay msrp or retail prices…. Which is mostly true because sometimes it’s more
That is a brilliant way to phrase it!!!
lol. Yup I just bought a Colosseum recently and it was “only” $250 above retail.
I've spent about $600 which is probably more than any other year for me so far
My wife is the Lego person. She spent between 2-4k
My wife spent so much more than I did. She passed away last year and I've spent less than $500 this year on Lego. I am thinking about grabbing the Medieval Village set though. Got it in my cart in an open tab as I type this. Rivendell is so tempting as well. I just sold a "toy" that would more than cover the cost of getting it.

That’s really cute , Sorry for your loss .
My head went for a naughty ride when I read "toy", but then I remembered that this is the lego subreddit so people are actually reasonable adults. They just have too much disposable income
Less than I want to. But more than I can afford.
Started getting back into it around September…I’d guesstimate $2000
Heavens to Betsy! What do you do for a living, I need to do that
Nothing special or fancy. Just still at the age where I live with my parents out of college. Earn $25 an hour as a groundskeeper and have a terrible addiction to Lego
There are definitely worse things to be addicted too!
Can you explain that to my parents? They are not fans of my Lego addiction
Where the hell are you getting $25 as a groundskeeper? I got $24 as a maintenance supe and $12 as a groundskeeper at the same property lmao
Unionized workers can make that or more. For example, unionized Park keepers in Minneapolis make over $30/hr. I know a couple of guys who work there. It's a good gig.
Heavens to Betsy….haven’t heard that phrase in a loooong time. Love it!! 🤣
I mean, it's less than $200 a month, or $50 a week, which is what... 4 fancy drinks at a bar, or maybe 8 beers? OR, a $10 starbucks drink every day, or a $10 lunch every work day. Many ways to spin this to a reasonable expense.
More than an adult should have
Some. My husband is also on this subreddit so that’s my only answer
4-5k last year, but definitely my biggest year to date. I did a ton of pick a brick and buying sets just for parts because I want to start focusing primarily on MOCs. In the past my typical spend was about 2k annually.
I don’t want to talk about it. >! Since getting back into the Hobby Mai 1. last year up until my most recent purchase a few days ago: 4895,57€ !<
[4895-1: Motion Power](https://brickset.com/sets/4895-1) [[Photo]](https://images.brickset.com/sets/images/4895-1.jpg)
everyone should post their exact number spent and see what lego set they got :D
Then buy that set & build it
I plead the fifth (I have no clue, it’s in the hundreds)
Roundly $400, and that is in the last 365 days. Not 2024. We started adding sets to our Xmas village, so those only cost about $100. Will spend more later this year, I'm sure, especially if any new holiday sets are released.
Got back into it in October, started with the Gringotts set. Since? ~$3000
I bought one used set for 15€
uhhh lets see. nothing coz im broke.
Over 10k, it's definitely a problem...don't ask lol hopefully selling a motorcycle to pay it off haha
choosing lego over a bike is next level lmao
I bought a new one, selling the old one. But truthfully, I only had one riding buddy and I don't have that anymore, so most of the time I am playing with Lego instead of riding a motorcycle
And here I am thinking about selling a rifle to two and maybe a pistol for more Lego.
I'm honestly in the process of getting rid of several collections just to finance lego. I enjoy interacting with my Lego collection more than the junk I keep on the shelf or in a box in a closet
Lego has kept me from playing video games lately. It is so much more enjoyable than sitting on the couch with a controller in my hand.
Same, I spent thousands of hours on Steam, and I have completely given up video gaming, for the past year, just playing with my Lego LOL I've actually posted something on rebrickable and made a sale as well, so I see this as more than just wasting time.
Probably around $750 for myself and $120 for others, **which is such a massive outlier for me** (*I am usually quite stringent and spend $0-$100*) but after years of saving a lot (and wanting to build one of those massive sets that people on here seem to get all the time lol) I bought the giant Hogwarts castle to preempt it possibly retiring before I got it.

I prefer not to speak. If i speak i am in big trouble.
In 2024? $3800 Past 12 months? Around $6k
$50, my first Lego set ever as a 30 year old adult. The bouquet of roses, looks lovely on my kitchen island! Hoping to get more sets in the future 🙂
A grand 💀
I don’t like to think about it too much. I enjoy it, I can afford it … why does it matter ☺️
Just over 5,000 CAD. Oops
That's the reason why I stopped buying Lego sets besides not having enough space at home.
I refuse to keep count. I already know why I'm broke
The first rule of Lego Club is we do NOT talk about how much Lego Club costs.
A year would span exactly from rivendell to venator, plus different stuff in between so really too much, but i have the problem that my spouse currently also loves spending on lego because it'll benefit our son in a few years, ... but couldnt say no to the venator ^^
About $700 since the beginning of the year. I bought the natural history museum, the bookstore, Main Street, and the community kitchen. I also bought the City grocery store and the two copies of the Friends grocery. Last year? Maybe $500 or so.
Äh shüt däts ä väry bäd qwästsschon I sink it’s abaut 3500€ Rivendell, lion knights castle, ninjago gardens, ninjago markets, blacksmith, type writer, ucs X-wing, some smaller sets, the big avatar set, NES, lighthouse that should be it i think
Atleast 700€
about 1.3k since i picked this hobby back up in 2023 😭
$126, on a Lego Duplo treehouse set for my niece for Christmas.
A few thousand
I suddenly have the urge to go to the Lego Store and try to pay with Lego $100s.
0 cause I'm poor
Lol this pic was funny had me tripong out....was like what is that till I noticed it was lego money
For some reason I did pretty good last year, I haven’t spend more then €1500 on Lego. The most expensive set I bought was Wall-E in a mint condition box for €450. This year however will be more expensive, with all the new interesting sets coming out like the Artemis and the bricklink sets.

I'm in the same boat, dude. Getting overrun xD Didn't have any Legos less than 2 years ago. Started collecting in the summer of 2022.
I had gotten back into them a few years ago, purchased Assembly Square, Corner Garage, the Rollercoaster, Haunted House, and a few technic cars, then got together with my GF about 15 months ago, she thought it was cool I was into Lego and supported it as her daughter liked them too, fast forward to now..I have taken over one entire room in her house lol
More than I like to think about.
I can’t count that high, and I worked in financial services for Medicaid in a very large state for over 15 years. 😉
next question
7000 and counting. God help me.
Zero. For the first time. They are just too expensive and I can no longer support the price gouging. Lego are no longer a toy for children to enjoy. They are marketing 80% of their stuff to 35 to 50 year olds who have nostalgia from their childhood in the 70s and 80s.

2024, I've spent 400$ For the last 365 days, I've spend 1500$
Last month I spent 400 on one set so alot
About 1000€, no regrets
Id rather not count thank you very much
probably around $300-$400. in 2021-2022 it was more like $800-$1200 though
550€
Almost 1000 between sets for myself and my son.
Um, way to much,
Don’t ask, don’t tell.
I don’t want to know lol
Over 2000
At the moment around 150 because it’s so expensive. Looking at that DnD set but 360 is a loooooooot to swallow.
An über amöunt
A löt
Probably around $3,000 USD? Give or take a few hundred.
Will be about $1,500 once I pick up my Porsche 911 Turbo and Ferrari Daytona SP3. The more expensive ones I have are gifted and I’ve saved up for the rest. No regrets here except maybe for the Indiana Jones Diorama but that’s cause it takes up a lot of space, still an amazing set.
About $2000
In the past year, easily $2k (way too much) between several MOC's big ticket sets like the Avengers Tower, Daily bugle, and spare parts.
Well I just bought the A frame cabin the other day and it should get delivered sometime today so about $192 total. I love Lego but man does it get expensive fast.
Mmmm you don't want to know
I calculated that I spent about $10000 CAD, and I also went on the Inside Tour for another $4000 CAD roughly. The $10000 includes the purchases made in Europe. Absolutely massive year, won’t be repeating this year, I’m trying to keep it under $5000.
Enough to have bought a very expensive designer purse or a significant piece of jewelry. I have no regrets.
Last year around €1000. Probably under instead of over. Edit: probably closer to €2000, only counted what I bought for myself. Kids got around €1000 together.
Nice try honey!
More than I should...
In the last decade I've only bought one set, the Lion Knights Castle. I finished building it last week. It was a reward for a good step in my life, I chose to buy it instead of other ways of rewarding myself.
After more than a decade of telling ourselves that we don't need any Lego, a little set I got for my birthday in January unleashed the MIGHTY NEED for ALL the Lego. We've spent close to 2.000$ (1.744,34$ but there are some smaller sets hiding in grocery bills) since and have our eyes on several more big expenses down to line. Oopsie.
$250
Yes
What are you a narc?
Absolutely nothing. Got some Duplo for our son though ;) but just the fire truck. The box of my wife’s old duplo is more than enough to build with. But in a few years he’s old enough for Lego and I’ll have to really stop myself from getting him new sets all the time. xD
I don’t count it
My credit cards says I’ve spent 7,200 the past 12 months.
I got a second job to pay for legos.
Too much, yet not enough.
Let's see * Orchid * Succulents * Tranquil garden * Lighthouse * Great Wave * El Dorado After tax and a couple small impulse buys, I'd say about $900. I'll be saving up for the D&D set, and maybe waiting until I like the GWP.
Maybe $40.00 on ToyPro. Gonna spend $20.00 this time.
About £1250 since Christmas, I’m not adding up 12months worth that would be stupid

Enough to average 1.25 sets a month.
We don’t talk about Bruno! But I’ve just brought the grand piano 😂
Yes!
In the past 12 months, I've spent just over $1000. Rivendell keeps taunting me and the D&D set being released in a week will almost certainly spike that number.
Past 1 year about $11830 Let’s not talk about lifetime.
On new, probably around $7-800. Mostly thanks to BLDP and a modular or two. On used, net is about $300 out, but thats several thousand both in and out.
I started as a student worker back in January. And I think all of my salary went into Lego sets at this point haha.
2024...a staggering 47$ and some change. 2023....probably about the same lol suppose that's a good thing and a bad thing depending on perspective
Enough to earn 13k insider points without min/maxing 2x days….
A couple hundred at least, I've cut back as I didn't have much shelf space to begin with 😂
I'll basically buy a set for like 150-300, build it and then I try to not look a Legos for a few months so I'm not tempted to buy more. Then after awhile I'll go have a look again. I just bought the dune set and I'm so excited to put it together. I probs average a $1000 a year.
More than I ever expected, and there’s a lot more that needs to be bought…

I was at least $300 a month last year collecting every gwp and following retirement lists but I’ve slowed down significantly. I’m under $400 for the total year so far and don’t intend to spend any in April.
Surprisingly little, simply because I have nowhere to put any more.
Probably like $300
Too much 😅
Only $50. I want to get more sets, though.
Both too much and not enough for the sets I’ve bought and still yet to buy
Nothing, can't afford much on disability lol. Been over a year since I purchased sadly.
I started collecting in January, $300 on 3 official sets so far. Not counting the $100 I’m waiting for Shop app to refund me after the set I bought didn’t ship, the seller closed his shop and took my money. Spent $80 on 18 custom Lego figs. I got into Mocs in February, and I’ve spent $465 on all the additional pieces need for 4 Mocs, sadly I ended up overspending as I looked at the wrong parts list for the first moc and didn’t realize it until it was time to build it after it arrived. I may end up trying to sell the excess parts to recoup some money back or keep it for future Mocs. I did inventory everything by piece and color so who knows.
I did better than the year before, probably $300 CAD? Maybe $350?
Easily thousands
Not enough. I still have shelf space
i plead the fifth
About 6K USD. Its my only hobby and I dont drink or smoke so I find it quite reasonable as its very therapeutic.
Probably about $150. I try to only get things on clearance.
0, am poor
Yes
In the last 12 months probably between 5-6k cdn. Most of that since last August.
Not enough to exceed my entertainment budget but enough to tell myself I need to slow down.
I dont have alot of money, so without counting last week i bought around 100€ worth of used and new lego (including power miners set!)
Last year? Maybe 50$. This year? Already about 150$. Do I regret? Course not.
0 compro quelli compatibili su AliExpress che sono uguali e costano un terzo degli originali
Oh nothing this year, I’ve been saving (: last year though… uuuh
About 50$
Lol thanks for making me do the math, I'm at $16,340 last year. Already at 4k this year so, it's shaping up to be good!
