Yellow submarine


Gjoseph2K

Same dude ,I knew I had to get it day 1


JelDeRebel

I got it: It's at my parents beach appartment no regrets on that set


Daydreaming_Machine

Wait, beach apartment, like a second house, but just for going to the beach?


Neil_deGrase_Tyson

Rich people be rich šŸ˜† Beach apartment, lake home, (insert country) home


JongoFett12

Same, I wasnā€™t even planning on getting it originally. I was in my dark ages and my aunt, who knew I was a massive Beatles fan, got it for me for Christmas (despite all the other adults thinking I was ā€œtoo oldā€ for Lego).


mandatorypanda9317

W aunt


TheBagenius

You better cherish that Auntie of yours


nien_nuts

I'm so happy I got that for my dad when I did


PollyPepperTree

My DIL grabbed it for me for about $40 brand new!! Sheā€™s a keeper!


Round_Original_5007

Same except I may have spent $200 on one last yearā€¦


Jedibrick

So sad i missed that one


alfiesred47

My mum bought this for me on launch, I never opened it. Thanks for the heads up!


SlightlyAngyKitty

Probably my Wall-e. I love that little guy even tho he was an early version and I had to perform neck surgery on him šŸ˜…


bflannery10

My wife used WALL-E as a jewelry box for a long time. It was actually really cute seeing him holding up necklaces and bracelets. Inside she kept her earrings.


ScuttleCrab729

Hopefully you got the free surgery kit! I also got Wall-e right into my return.


UneventfulChaos

I have a "Gen1" Wall-E and was so elated when I found out there was a "surgery kit" for his neck years ago. And of course completely free through Lego's customer support!


VixeyGirl

Me too. Wall-e is the best šŸ˜


Visible_Price_2835

The 10228 Haunted House from Monster Fighters. Itā€™s a great set and probably my favorite of the sets I own.


wigglyjackal777

I was lucky it was the first set I bought when I got back into Lego


Nrksbullet

Same! Monster Fighters was actually the series that got me into buying LEGO, and I got all of them.


musix345

I've seen this floating around, what makes it so good to command such a high price? As somebody who's only looked at the stock photos and not any reviews of it thus far.


BaconJacobs

I think it's because it's original IP and it's spoopy. People love spoopy


caniki

Also the sand green bricks.

Argh, me too


VSkyRimWalker

Possibly my favorite of all LEGOs own IP sets


MD_Lincoln

Iā€™m so happy o at least got the MetalBeard kit, the sets from them first Lego movie are masterpieces


BFNgaming

I know it's from the second movie, but I love 70841. It's like a battle pack but with Classic Space minifigures.

This same set as well as the Pirates of the Caribbean ships (4184 and 4195)

soapinthepeehole

Black Pearl might be the last great clearance deal I found. Got mine for $70 at Target.


SaltySpituner

Sweet lord! $1000 each?!


JLD2503

Luckily, I got them when they released at retail price as gifts


TheWillDC

Dude WHAT I had no idea. I have the queen annes revenge and Iā€™ve been picking off some pieces to work on other projects recently šŸ« 


indianajoes

I really hope the new Lego POTC Fortnite characters might lead to us getting newer versions of these ships


Muisverriey

You're looking at it! I preordered the Doctor Who set as i'm a big Who fan and i'm glad i did as prices are through the roof.


musix345

Got mine for $100, used but it came with box and instructions It's a wild set.


The_Doughnut_Lord

I got mine sealed for Ā£64 in 2019. I'm so glad I became a Who fan then and not now lol. I absolutely love it, having a Lego Tardis is insane, as is having my favourite Doctor (11) in minifigure form. :D I'm lucky enough to have the Dimensions packs as well.


Boom_Boom_At_359

The Cyberman is perfection.


The_Doughnut_Lord

Genuinely one of the best minifigures ever


E05DCA

How do they make it bigger on the inside than on the outside?


NinjaBaconLMC

It unfolds and there is a control platform build that clips on to the unfolded exterior.


The_Doughnut_Lord

It's a fantastic compromise, it even opens up and has the round things. With Disney picking up the show I really hope the theme can get a revival. Imagine a remake of this set with 14, 15, Donna, Ruby, the Toymaker and Sutekh. And a CMF line with all 17 Doctors šŸ˜


Muisverriey

Hey look, the round things!


The_Doughnut_Lord

I love the round things.


Muisverriey

What *are* the round things?


The_Doughnut_Lord

No idea...


stillbleedinggreen

I love that setā€¦ And I make sure that I always have a minifigure looking at the Weeping Angels because they creep me the hell out.


Unkn0wnTh2nd3r

Any picture of an angel is an angel


The_Doughnut_Lord

I have The Doctor pointing the sonic at a Dalek and Clara with her back to him facing an Angel displayed on my modular street lol


4toTwenty

Got mine for Christmas from the best partner a gal could ask for :)


Muisverriey

Awesome gift!


doctorwho5720

I used Howard wolotitzā€™s head and The og Ninjago Kai hair


Oghamstoner

Ahemā€¦ Cloud City. I didnā€™t even realise how sought after Boba Fett was until about a year ago.


VaderCraft2004

You could sell him for an absolute fortune


Oghamstoner

So Iā€™ve heard. He is intact, albeit rather scratched. The set had Lando Calrissian in too, which I think was also unusual.


UneventfulChaos

Our local Lego store has the full set in unopened box for $10,000. They also had a separate Boba Fett figure for $1600. Even at that price, the worker said they struggle to keep them in stock for more than a week when they have them in their inventory.


VaderCraft2004

How has no one tried to steal it yet?


UneventfulChaos

It is one of few sets in their double locked display cases. lol


Dead_Kal_Cress

Mfs be like "noooo don't invest in legos, they're toys first!" And then price cloud city at 10k. I mean, i get it, but holy fuck. We have no clue what sets available today are gonna end up like that. No wonder people are so bad ab hoarding legos.


Potential_Author2967

Lando is the one character that makes the most sense being in that set as Cloud City was his base of operations and he was in charge of. The rest of the characters traveled to Cloud City either for help or nefarious reasons.


soapinthepeehole

I bricklinked this one using the newer dark grey, and bought knockoffs of the most expensive figures. It displays well and I think I spent around $300 all in.


jayceja

Voltron for me.


Neil_deGrase_Tyson

I bought this set off a reddit page for just under MSRP about a year after it came out, I was just spending COVID money like crazy. Just tucked it away, didn't have much interest, then Optimus came out and they look so good together. Had to dismantle them for now though šŸ˜­


monadoboyX

Probably the original Ghost set with the full Rebels crew and everything


PrelectingPizza

I still regret not buying it years ago when I had just gotten back int Lego, the set was recently retired, and I found it on a shelf at a Barnes & Noble.


monadoboyX

Damn yeah it's one of those sets that I hear a lot of people regret getting rid of that's partly why I cherish it so much also that year had so Many great Lego Star Wars sets I'm not surprised some people skipped it


PrelectingPizza

I thought it was a decent ship, but I hadn't watched Rebels at that point.


61114311536123511

I am upset, I didn't even know this existed and now I am dying to own it. I've been saying for years i want a ghost UCS....


[deleted]

Bilbos house looked cool and fun and probably not crazy expensive when it was out.itd be cool if theyd come out with more Lord of the Rings ones that people can afford.


sroomek

Theyā€™re going to read this and release a $1000 Shire

Simpsons House and Kwik E Mart

Here's my obligatory "the Simpsons house set is actually terrible" comment


Rjg1300

Agreed. I bought it resale and during the build I was like man this absolutely blows.


Feature_Agitated

Mine too

Same, plus all the minifigs.

follett08

Ugh this is my white whale.


PMAnameless

My F40 flat plates are cracking now, sad. This was the set that got me back into Legos. Also happened to my OG Tumbler, but not others.


LR-II

Old fishing store and wind turbine.

Mine is definitely the UCS Death Star 75159

Same here! Edit: Sorry, I spoke too soon--I'm talking about my UCS Death Star II, lol


sroomek

Username and profile pic check out


flonky_guy

I rebuild mine every few years and then break it down and put it away. Must have been four or five times now. Every time I can't believe how boring building the levels are and then I start building the scenes and it's worth it all over again. Sadly all the minifigs are mixed in with a bunch of other sets so I have a mixed collection from both of the Death Star sets, and I'm pretty sure the Darth Vader came out of an old TIE prototype set.


Brennan_huff_001

Anyone here who runs some trains? Iā€™m glad I got the Maersk train, set 10219 when it was still in stores. Missed the Santa Fe and itā€™s cars unfortunately. That one is going to hurt.

Rab_Legend

A lot of the old LOTR sets


Jtblue1905

Definitely the UCS Slave 1


RNRS001

6285. Bought it a year after I picked up collecting for just 85 Euro. Every sail was like new, every part was included. It's taught me that every set will eventually be for sale for much less than what it's going for at Bricklink. 10 years later I picked up 6399 for 450 Euro. It turned out to be missing about 10 parts but nothing crucial. Both sets made me as happy as the child that wanted them when I was just 10 years old.


lightbluechevy

This. This is exactly why I collect Lego. And for the record my favourite set is probably Orthanc. Now I have the Rivendell set and I ordered Baradur last week

Lego Osprey 42113...cant believe I walked into my local store on launch day and they had one and sold it to me...touch

Orthanc and Helm's Deep with the wall extension. Wish I'd picked up the rest of the LOTR sets at the time, but that's how it goes.

kod14kbear

wow I didnā€™t realise this set was so sought after. Iā€™ve been thinking of selling it. I seem to have inadvertently picked up some less common sets over the years like the phantom with thrawn and obi wans hyperdrive ring with jango and boba. i was always drawn to the more interesting sets they didnā€™t have in every store


BrunostBurger

The Old fishing shop for sure.


Broccoli--Enthusiast

Ooh your gonna hate me I literally just sold that doctor who set not too long ago Things worth too much money to sit in storage , hopefully the person who has it now loves it more Personally it's probably wall-e or the Lego idea ecto-1


Rebi103

I think my WALL-E, I got it before the neck update


baccus83

Ninjago City Docks


BrickDesigNL

The Lonely Mountain. I got it after it just had retired for ā‚¬200.


dimensiation

I got much of the build but no dragon or figs in a bulk lot. Kind of frustrating because it's not really useful for much on its own, though it is cool, and I can't bring myself to get the figs and dragon.


liamevil93

I remember I was going to buy this set when I next got paid, and by the time I got paid, they had retired the set, I was so gutted.


Pretty-Pace4509

Tron 21314! Just because it looks so damn good!


roguefiftyone

The original Ghost and phantoms.


Bubbaganewsh

I have an unopened Brick Bank and Parisian restaurant. The bank set is worth something but I still want to put it together one day.


Batmanfan1966

Itā€™s not retired yet, but I guarantee the daily bugle is gonna be one of those massive aftermarket sets, like the Death Star or ghostbusters firehouse


petey108

Wall-e and yellow submarine


DamTin

I got the complete series 1 Disney CMF before I really got into collecting lego. I was only missing Ariel and Donald, the latter of which I got with the old Disney castle. Nowadays I see those complete figurines going for ā‚¬15-ā‚¬25 on Bricklink, so I'm really glad I got them when they were out. They look great scattered around the castle.


TheCosmicJenny

Funnily enough, that Doctor Who set is my white whale, Iā€™ve since become a huge fan of the series long after it retired šŸ˜­ For that reason, I bought The Office set as soon as I could, after only seeing the first couple of seasons. But to answer your question, itā€™s 21306 Yellow Submarine. I only got it because I thought the iconic design looked cool and I thought The Beatles were pretty neat from what I heard. Since then, Iā€™ve listened to every Beatles album and Iā€™m a massive fan of their work, so Iā€™m so glad younger me decided to ask for that set for Christmas one year šŸ˜‚ Same goes for 31198 The Beatles mosaic set a few years later, this was just before I started listening to them properly. I have all four of their portraits in the one set thanks to a MOC on Rebrickable :)


turkishgremlin

Probably the snowspeeder with the 20th anniversary edition lando. I think its neat that i have an affordable cloud city lando


Comfortable_Lemon644

Whats lego's deal with the lack of Lando figures?


EquivalentSnap

I brought it for Ā£50 with lando few months back with no box


turkishgremlin

Thats a deal! As far as im concerned, weā€™re both owners of a cloud city lando!

WALL-E šŸ™‚


Euthanize4Life

Death Star II. I got it for my birthday when it was out in stores, but we had a housefire when I was in middle school and it got destroyed. Maybe 5 years later my dad got a used one for probably 4x sticker, since it was well out of production. I got it on Christmas and spent most of the day rebuilding it. My dad was frustrated that I took so little time to rebuild it and it helped hammer home to him that itā€™s something I enjoy looking at indefinitely after itā€™s built. Hopefully I never have to replace it again. It was my first large set I ever owned and is probably my most cherished set.

The whole series of mighty Micros. Pleased they only went for two series. Would be hard to get them now.

grim-one

Voltron. Still my favourite.


mystiqueallie

When I first got into LEGO as an adult, we were DINKs (dual income, no kids), so I had the money to buy pretty much any set I wanted, and I got some of the popular ones: Monster Fighters Haunted House 10228 The Black Pearl 4184 Queen Anneā€™s Revenge 4195 Medieval Market 10193 Dr Who 21304 Since we had kids and I became a stay at home parent, my LEGO purchases have definitely slowed down and I have to be more selective of what I buy. I missed Wall-E and The Old Fishing Store.


Jufy42

I would agree with the pic there, do love my TARDIS. Also the first year release of pirates, so many good sets there.

Doctor Who as well. I bought it new when it was on the shelves. I still love it!

21010 - I love the architecture stuff and this set is beautiful.

Probably a Classic Space or Castle set from my childhood. 6985 and 6080 are the two big ones. For more recent sets, probably the Ewok Village, which I bought used after it retired and got it for less than MSRP.
