    Before I got with my girlfriend, I was skeptical about letting a woman know about my collection. But when she came over, she was looking for the bathroom and accidentally opened the door to my Lego collection room. She loved it instantly and all I have to do to keep her happy is buy her an occasional set.

      Something worse happened to me, on a birthday, I was with my parents and looking around I found a completely new Ninjago set specifically from the Nindroids season on a shelf and they bought it for me, we went to the register and the set (which was the one that brought Cole with a nindroid in a vehicle with a saw in the front) was very cheap but for some reason it was not registered and a cashier lady (Who was the same age as me, I think I was maybe 16 at the time) came with me to see if the price of the set was correct while we were walking she asked me, hey, for who in the thing you are going to buy ? and I answered, well today is my birthday, and she didn't answer me, in fact she stayed silent from that moment on, but I learned a valuable lesson that day and that is, if you tell a girl that you like Lego and she doesn't say anything, well that's not the one XD

    My wife has unfortunately been corrupted too. I'm allowed to collect any pirate or castle set but she has really gotten into anything winter village and we pretty much have a complete collection (but not all the boxes)....
    I was very much holding off on the 90th anniversary castle (because it was too much for me even though I loved it)...but she got it for me and got herself the home alone house at the same time (claiming it would fit in the winter village)...I
    I also picked up all the pirates of the Caribbean sets and have both the Black pearl and queen Anna's revenge...

    The good news is that even though you could say a lot of your money is wasted/blown on Lego. To warrant your collection you could just turn around and sell them all and likely earn more than what you’ve spent. So in a way, you still have all your money.
    I go phases once every 1.5 years where I blow a good few hundred on minifigures and a few new sets. However I mostly buy sets for the minifigs, I pull them out, stow them away, then dump the pieces in a bin, unless the set is an utterly amazing must build. This means I could in a sense, sell all the pieces for a lot of money (makes me feel better lmao) but mostly so when my daughter is old enough she can play with them.

      That is true, your networth with all the value of lego sets probably even increased compared on what you spent it on. But for matter of fact, you will not get any money from lego lying around until you press that sell button.

      I justify my lego collection the exact same way. That my girls can play with (when they are old enough) and I'll make sure to keep sets complete so even after I can sell it for probably the same or maybe even more than I paid for it. So win win.

    When I first met my wife, I informed her I was getting a passport to fly to Spain. She asked what I was going to do there. I told her Hasbro was flying ne there to play magic the gathering for their Pro Tour event. I think that made it easier to accept that hobby and to accept Lego too.

    As a bionicle fan who has been collecting on-off since 2001 I noticed many things to be the same in this niche of lego collecting. Running out of space, having no idea what sets you own and how many. Also the combiner/alternate build angle. Then you can go into fan created models or models made by official lego designers.

    I find the struggle of Bricklink and mocs on rebrickable vs sets I want pretty hard. There are some pretty nice mocs on rebrickable but that AT AT and Razor Crest are calling plus I need another Galaxy Explorer. Also the problem of Lego not staying in the Logo room. I have shelves in my front room with lego just on display so guests can immediately judge me. It certainly is a struggle.

Around here 0.10CAD per part seems to be a pretty fair ratio. You can usually tack a couple more cents onto that per minifig part too. Bionicle and technic are still hard to find a good price to part ratio though. I'll develop one soon I guess

    I'm gonna need some new furniture for storing all my stuff, I got a lot of new stuff but u got an absolute bargain on a box of lego, £50 for a load of first wave pirates sets including the black seas barracuda with a splash of other themes from the late 80s mid 90s, nearly every draw and cabinet in my rooms if filled with Lego and now theres stuff just on the floor, got the UCS flacon tho on its own little.table. bit of advice use brickset and make a list of what you have, it'll save a lot of time when cataloguing your collection

    I wish Lego would bring back some of the sets from the 90s.

    I collect lego city sets
    I have no where to put a city
    9 shelves and a shelve top are stuffed with lego sets/ cars on display then 3 more for misc
    the desk I have my PC on is more like the desk for lego I have my PC on
    I also have a minifig LED display thing that is actually completely full so the rest are just chucked into a box
    I have no room... and I want to collect more:)
