    Also, if anyone has/finds the 501st set, please let me know/snag it for me. I’ll pay shipping and all that. Seems like they’re impossible to find

    Yeah, I've had the F40 in my Amazon wishlist for about 18 months and just can't bring myself to pull the trigger. Even moved it to my cart once and thought better of it. It'll happen one day.

    I assume the resale value holds up on that even after you build it? Would love to build but probably wouldn’t want to keep/display it.

    What do you do with the sets when you're done? Lego pieces are way more detailed than when I was a kid. When I was a kid, I'd build something, then break it down a week later and use the pieces to build other stuff.

    I don't know where to put the sets and if I break it down, i'll probably have to put them all in indiviual zip locks. I may just put them in my office at work. Not sure how it'll look with me being so much younger than everyone though.

    I keep the sets I really like put together/displayed in my man cave. Rest of them I break down and put in box for when I inevitably want to build them again.

    We break them up after a while and put them in these big plastic bins. If it’s a really involved one like my daughter’s BB8, we keep it up in their rooms.

    Got this for my daughter at 6 years old. She missed a couple of pieces and the one part didn’t pull out. Had to take the majority of it apart and put it back together. Not mad at all.

    she’s very much in to it. Actually for the past week she’d wake up when she hears me and we spend 30 minutes putting together the Disney train set that actually runs. Today it finally was complete and ran on the track for the first time. It was a good day.

    This was my question.

    I love building them (obviously), but have zero space to show or save them. Would love to have a room, or even just a large shelving unit, to put them on. Instead I come in here and get jealous of y'all.

    Also, I know once I take them apart I would never build them again, unfortunately.

    Wish the pirate ship they had when I was younger included sails made out of legos and not that flimsy, crappy cloth.

    I had so many of the pirate and midevil sets when I was a kid. Donated them to a family when I was in high school though. Was pretty awesome seeing the kids eyes light up when they saw how many legos I gave them.

    My 4 year old has gotten big into legos, it's awesome. My parents got rid of all of my legos without asking me; I've been trying to find a few of the kits I used to have. Been fun...
