    Nobody should judge you at all. You’ve done the right thing and would have done exactly the same. Thank you for sharing your haul and glad you had a great trip.

    The different palm trees that Lego has, help add to the true reality of Real palm tree variety. I grew up with palm trees, that's how I know about them. Arizona, California and Texas have variety of palms.

    You are great at thinking thru your Lego purchases so enjoy them fully. Really nice gifts also with lots of great useable parts and stickers. I am thinking about getting the Trelawney book set as I have seen some very good MOCs with parts of this set. Really looking forward to your HP MOCs also. I cannot wait for the releases on June 19th. Enjoy the long weekend!

      I can totally recommend the divination book. I’ve created a moc with for my Hogwarts and it’s such a nice detailed figure too.

    You should put the City Garden in the back of a closet or some storage space and hopefully forget about it. That way it's either A) you come across it in a couple of years and it will be more fun to build it, or B) you come across it in a couple of years and it has gone up in value a lot and then you can decide to sell it or use it for MOCs.
    Nice haul. I think I have to try the Gouda store someday. Though you probably have picked up the best pieces. 😉

    And what a great haul, I am so excited for your Ninjago Gardens set, I hope you will create a moc with it. And you shouldn’t be judged by anyone, you earn your money and you spend it the way you want to.

    Reya got the short straw, being released during the pandemic, but I think you’ll enjoy it. You really lucked out on your trip especially with that Ninjago set - I look forward to see what you come up with to enhance your existing Ninjago city. For your summer park, are you going to have a pool? Or an actual beach scene like in Noorderstrand outside of Den Haag? (Either will work) and the ice cream vendor is a fun little build.
    Look forward to Ben building the Tallneck (as I have ranted, the UK is t the only place where it is completely unavailable 😠 ). (I am jealous) regardless, glad you had a fun trip home. Thx for sharing your international haul with us! ツ

    • @HighTeaToys
      @HighTeaToys  2 года назад

      Im hoping to have more like a lake/beach scene as that would be pretty fun to create. I may start working on it soon. The main issue is that I don’t know where to store my different park versions

    I hope you enjoy the Tallneck. When I first saw it, I wanted it day one, but now that I think about it, I'm keen on passing on it since it's constantly sold out and just get the Fender after I somehow get the Van Gogh. Sweet find on the defense book. I got my final book Monday which was Charms which to me was kinda lackluster compared to the other 5.

    I absolutely don’t blame you getting another Ninjago set. 🤪 I don’t own it, but it’s a set I might get with VIP vouchers , because it’s just sooooo gorgeous! 😀The trunk is full of great stuff, but I’m looking to getting it cheaper.

    • @bertbergers9171
      @bertbergers9171 2 года назад

      I´d never spend VIP vouchers on sets that are so much cheaper in retail then they are with Lego themselves. VIP vouchers are for me for Lego exclusives only.

  • @bertbergers9171

    The ninjago city gardens new in box for that price is a steal. Whether it becomes a parts pack or stays an investment.
    Don´t have regrets, maybe adjust funds to have 300 pounds at hand to spend on steals when they present themselves, so you don´t have to have remourse like now.

    Congratulations on reaching 5k. It looked like a great shopping trip. I have ordered parts and pieces overseas on brinklink due to the exchange rate. I ordered acrylic display stands from Australia and parts from Germany. I think your collections are amazing.

  • @JRodonBricks

    Doing a Ninjago MOC is something that I have gave a bit of thought (though doing it is not on my near term plans), and my conclusion was that buying Ninjago City sets doesn't give much advantage for the MOC. Because you will want to change colors and change the stores, and Ninjago city sets have a lot of very specific parts. For instance: the pieces used for the tower are really specific, it will be noticeable if you use it for something else.
    I believe you should keep it as an investment. Store it somewhere you don't see, and put a reminder for 2025. :)

    At that price I might have been tempted myself, even though I’m not into Ninjago.
    If you decide to keep it as an investment set you’re guaranteed to get a good profit on it once it retires.

      Ah thanks. It’s a bit hit and miss with the hair. This was filmed after I washed it in the morning so generally it looks nicest on those days. But it’s always unpredictable.
