sometimes when a set arrives and it is really nice condition i just cannot open it and buy another one instead, i mostly buy older star wars sets when they were neater boxes, not so bothered about newer ones

thats first proper picture of black pearl i've seen, looks great which is a bonus since i preordered mine 3 months ago

i work at a water treatment works and have seen loads of lego come through, all sorts of toys and things get washed down drains, my favorite is a snoopy car from around 60's, and no i don't keep the lego

i mainly collect star wars but recently bought some classic castle and really like it, i mean late 70's castle which i remember as a kid

i got them both from korea, really cool baggies and cheap with free postage

Hi mate i do have some rainy day sets waiting to be opened, space is my problem as i had to give up my display room to my youngest boy and i,ve just got a built in wardrobe with shelves to display my stuff, sounds a bit sad but i have quite a lot on display and they don,t get dusty or discoloured in there, my little place to relax and make space for new ones

Hi yes i do like the small sets misb, i like the packaging and if its mint i like to save them like that. But i do have far more open ones than i could ever display so it,s just nice to have them stored away in case i change my mind and open them.

Hi guys i collect both, i,m collecting every small sw set misb and minty packaging. I also like them open for display, the only problem i,ve found is storage and i,ts an expensive way of doing it but thats how i like it and i do think it,s a good investment, well thats what i tell my wife anyway.

Hi I,m Justin from sussex in the UK, been collecting sw lego for a few years now after collecting vintage star wars and looking for a cheaper alternative. Which it was,nt but a lot more fun to be had with lego. I,m almost 40 so probably class an an AFOL like most on here. I,ve been concentrating on the small sets misb right from the start and am doing quite well so far. I also prefer the older sets, just like the way they were originally packaged and sometimes simpler sets are more realistic to me. A few weeks ago i bought yellow castle 375 which i,m really pleased with, so i do sometimes detour a little bit. Will be looking through the chats on here to see what happens and i,m on some star wars forums and one thing bugs me is people joining just to sell their stuff, i,m not one of those people, just a collector looking for likeminded people, regards Justin
