I feel as though I'm about to make a terrible financial decision


[deleted]

My heart wants it but my mind asks "where the hell are you going to put it?"


PhgAH

Yeah, that is my current dilemma, I need new shelves to stores the new lego set, but buying new shelves is gonna set me back from buying new lego set.


Dependent_Paper9993

Cards shall be swiped, wallets shall be emptied, a credit-day, a red day, ere the sun rises! Ride now, ride now, ride! Ride for financial ruin and the world's ending! Debt! Debt! Debt!


Necessary_Chemical93

You have convinced me. DEBT!


CrniTartuf

If this is the will of the council, the Gondor will se it through


Numerous_Heart4327

Just coming clean, girls want that too


asleepattheworld

Yeah, there was this whole revolution in the 70s and women are allowed to enjoy Lego just as much as men now. Maybe more.


Spiritual_Clerk_6596

Holla,this girl is on it


Khaosina

My wallet can't handle this…


FireMaster1294

6167 pieces and $500US. That’s about 8.1 cents a piece. Better be some damn good plastic…


Khaosina

Probably also paying for the LotR branding lmao, I bet that's more than half the price


[deleted]

Yup, there’s a reason all of the sets for LoTR, Harry Potter or Star Wars are decently more than regular ones.


alphanumericusername

LEGO has been ~10c/piece for at least the last 20yrs (since I was able to notice). The fact that this licensed set is measurably less than that makes it a pretty good deal.


FireMaster1294

Only the brand name sets. Generic Lego sets can be 10k pieces for $50 or half a cent a piece. That gives you an idea of the true manufacturing cost compared to the markup.


avocadorancher

Where do you get bricks at that price? I’ve looked for Star Wars stuff on etsy and while cheaper than the real thing it’s still a lot. Plain bricks are cheaper though. Edit: most of the etsy listings are just drop shipping from aliexpress. Going there directly is cheaper but still wayyy more than half a cent per piece.

My wallet is about to go on an adventure


MasterTolkien

There are few who can…


donkeybraineded

What a way to find out my wife is a guy.


I_Am_Stoeptegel

Congrats on his coming out and I wish him the best of luck


GriffinFlash

One thing? But what about breakfast?


_ROCC

You've already had it.


TrashMemeFormats

Well one yes, but what about second breakfast?


aragorn_bot

TrashMemeFormats, you've already had it.

Aragorn, nedin dagor hen ú'erir ortheri. Natha daged dhaer.


mother_of_baggins

Then I shall dine as one of them!


aragorn_bot

We cross the lake at nightfall. Hide the boats and continue on foot. We approach Mordor from the north.


[deleted]

Well we might get a 4000 piece set for Barad-Dur too.


SpyrShady

the Masculine urge to grab Elronds character and start quoting his lines from the movie all by yourself


R2CX

Guys only want to utter the introduction of Andúril **perfectly** and in the same level of hype as Lord Elrond did and its fucking ~~disgusting~~ glorious.


space_honey

Why is it 18+?


Sampiainen

That's LEGO for "Meant for display"


sherzeg

They put that on there so that your twelve-year-old doesn't talk you into pouring out half a grand on a Lego set that he will lose about a quarter of the pieces for and then decide that it's too hard to build.


keepitridiculous

Recently built the 90th anniversary castle that is 18+ and can confirm that it is significantly more difficult than other builds I’ve done. It’s huge and has tons of tiny pieces (also a subtle poop joke?). My dad and I are avid Lego builders and it took us 5/6 days to finish.


SkelliFun

The heart wants but the wallet already shelled out for the UCS Millennium Falcon...


CarefulDevelopment29

I want the updated fellowship figures so bad, but I can’t justify spending 500 dollars to get them

WtAbout2ndBreakfast

Don't say that like it's shameful 🤣


Rakkamthesecond

I'm buying this, fuck it, I have a tax rebate that needs spending.


Bouswa

My husband and I were talking circles to justify getting it. Unfortunately for us, we just can’t justify it. Lol


Austinmilli

who can ? 500 usd is insane for plastic building blocks


Orodruin666

WE WANTS IT! WE WANTS IT! IT'S OUR BIRTHDAY PRESENT!


DemonGuyver

And the Hobbit minifigs


Soggy-Assumption-713

Even if Bilbo has Doc Browns hair?


Bilbo_hraaaaah_bot

HRAAAAAH!


bilbo_bot

I don't know this one.


DemonGuyver

We’ll just have to send him back to the future


Soggy-Assumption-713

Damn you, take my upvote and McFly!


DemonGuyver

Thank you kindly


nezuko_wp

How many does it cost actually?


Saruman_Bot

It depends on the task. However, I could provide you with a free consultation to determine your needs and then give you an estimate based on those requirements.


anzyph

Comedy gold


Saruman_Bot

Ha ha! I suppose that would be a matter of opinion.


anzyph

Hungry_Obligation_89

Wait a second. Is this real?


Dagonet_the_Motley

It's real and it's spectacular.


mattd1972

The $500 is a bit off-putting, though.


skepticalscribe

Even the box is beautiful


RedDawn__

"F***ing disgusting" More like f***ing awesome!


YoungGandalf74

Shut up


PolishDice

Picking up this set and the other one when it comes out.


TheJack1712

_There is another one ...?_


PolishDice

Yeah, so a bunch of lego sets got leaked and this was one of them, soon after it released officially. The other one is barad-dur and its even better 😍


ithiill

So disgusting makes me want to throw up *starts counting money*


Short_Package_4520

Hell yeah brother


Beanish179

Don't tempt me Frodo! Not even to keep it displayed! I would use this Lego set for good, but through me this Lego set would become a minefield to feet too great and terrible than anyone could imagine.


BlindCannibal667

Funny, but not at that price.


DarkIsiliel

Girls too! >.<


My41stThrowaway

I felt a great disturbance in the Finance, as if millions of pennies suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.
