I was obsessed with Lego as a kid, and would like to get into the hobby once again, not as an investment, but for the fun of it.

I am huge fan of Star Wars, and Lego star wars seem to be all the rage nowadays, but looking at the sets, they seem to be awfully overpriced for what they seem offer.

I am looking for something that will be fun to build, and not terribly pricey (not more than cca 180€). Preferably fantasy or scifi inspired.

I’ve been browsing the lego website and this set in particular cought my eye. Any recommendations? Thanks

How is building LEGO an investment?

There are people who buy Lego sets and keep them sealed in hopes that their value on the aftermarket will rise drastically once it's not being produced anymore.

I guess it's not as stupid as Beanie Babies

Look on Kijiji, marketplace, etc.

There's someone selling unopened sets on Kijiji in my neighbourhood with a 20% mark up because you can't get them anymore.

Personally I don't think it's work the capital or space to store for the odd $40 but different strokes I suppose.
