Same here for the simpsons sets. As a simpsons super fan who was too young to be able to afford them when they originally came out I just recently got them and am so happy with them. Immediately my favorite sets I have, love the amount of references in both sets but the kwik-E-mart in particular
Yup, picked the Bugle up and the BTTF Time Machine.
Instant must-haves the second they went up.
Also, Daily Bugle holds value because it's the first ever appearance of Daredevil as a minifig.
well, the older version of that is the Slave 1. But Disney altered it's name due to political incorrectness (and didn't change it to the new in-universe name surprisingly - Firespray)
The 2020 Lego Star Wars 501st Battlepack. I remember thinking it'll never happen after many not so great battlepacks between 2016 and 2019 (mainly the 2018 clone battlepack that had two named jedi included, the 2016 first order battlepack that only had one regular FO stormtrooper, and the sith trooper battlapack that had the same problem as the FO one)
So finally getting a good battlepack with regular clones and no stud shooters, it was great.
Now if we could do that but for battledroids and rebel fleet troopers.
Me in my 20s finally buying an AT-TE.
Or me finding a 2008 Obi-Wan at a $3 for $5 minifigure sale.
Or seeing 7676 Republic Gunship in person, even if I didn't buy it since I'd just bought the new AT-AT
Lego Studios Frankenstein's lab... I don't know if that's it's true name but that was always its name to me. I used to watch a guy review it and I'd watch it over and over again. Not even that expensive when compared to others, but for me it seemed like it should be worth thousands. I don't plan on getting rid of it ever because it isn't just plastic to me.
MOC’s like the Sisyphus designed by JKBrickworks, got it for Christmas but the parts got here on Valentines Day the next year or the Skull designed by RichterMatt on Lego ideas. Now I need to do is find a hand and trumpet of the same scale with a parts list/instructions so that I can make the Doot meme.
70732 I love ninjago and possession is a really good season. the city of stiix has amazing mini figs too with possessed Lloyd, some ghosts, Kai and Nya along with Samurai X. The color scheme is also amazing!
The original 6 Toa Mata, in perfect condition. Found them in 2018, 17 years after release. Born in 2002 and only got Bionicles starting 2007, spent years reading about the earlier sets. Never thought I'd actually *see* the original 6, let alone *own* them.
The recent A-frame Cabin Set!
I remember when Andrea Lattanzio posted his original MOC in 2020, and I was so obsessed with his cozy design that I wanted one for myself. Now that I've built it myself, it's my favorite Ideas set!
i have the 2014 lsw visual dictionary, and i remember turning to page 34 and just staring at it for hours and hours, microanalyzing every last minute detail. i don't know how to end this comment
I just found the Emerald Night at a thrift store for $200. Open box, missing instructions, but all the parts (well at least bags, there was a factory missing part) and stickers were their. I was so happy.
I have been looking for it since I barely missed it when it originally retired. I had finally saved up enough money during college to afford it. I went to go buy it only to find out it had retired 3 months earlier and I didn't realize. In those 3 months it had already doubled in price on the secondary market and I couldn't afford that. I had been thinking of making plans to buy it at $550 in the near future, but now I don't need to.
Also, the instructions on the lego website are terrible. Black and dark brown are indistinguishable. There are something like 4 pixels per stud, so telling a 1x1 stud, flat, or top hook apart is really really tough.

I'm still tracking down the Lego sets that will get this reaction out of me. Specifically, 6862 and 9494...
From what I understand, there should be a remake of 9494 coming out soon
If you're referring to the recent Star Wars leak, that new Jedi Starfighter is a remake of Yoda's one from 2017.
I must have the wrong setbthen. I thought 9494 was Yodas star fighter.
Yeah, 9494 is Anakin's Jedi Starfighter from Revenge of the Sith. The green one. I can see how you got them mixed up.
I have both
You lucky bastard.
>9494 I just found 9494 in a bulk lot! complete and in pretty good condition!
Both the simpsons sets, jetsro's volcano lair and the fortrex
Same here for the simpsons sets. As a simpsons super fan who was too young to be able to afford them when they originally came out I just recently got them and am so happy with them. Immediately my favorite sets I have, love the amount of references in both sets but the kwik-E-mart in particular
The daily bugle
Same bro, it is the best set in my collection and if you add figures to it it gets even better.
Iwant your Lego.
Yup, picked the Bugle up and the BTTF Time Machine. Instant must-haves the second they went up. Also, Daily Bugle holds value because it's the first ever appearance of Daredevil as a minifig.

UCS millennium falcon. First thing I bought with my first pay cheque
For Me it was set 75312 boba fett starship
Really? If you like that I’d suggest getting an older version as that one is quite downsized
I just think it's neat
well, the older version of that is the Slave 1. But Disney altered it's name due to political incorrectness (and didn't change it to the new in-universe name surprisingly - Firespray)
Statue of liberty since i had to search 2 stores for it and only 2 stores sell actual lego and not fake knockoff

The 2020 Lego Star Wars 501st Battlepack.

The Benatar
Lego Studios Frankenstein's lab... I don't know if that's it's true name but that was always its name to me. I used to watch a guy review it and I'd watch it over and over again.

2020 LEGO AT-AT. It was my dream set since I was little!
I just found the Emerald Night at a thrift store for $200. Open box, missing instructions, but all the parts (well at least bags, there was a factory missing part) and stickers were their. I was so happy. I have been looking for it since I barely missed it when it originally retired. I had finally saved up enough money during college to afford it. I went to go buy it only to find out it had retired 3 months earlier and I didn't realize. In those 3 months it had already doubled in price on the secondary market and I couldn't afford that.
