Yeah, honestly, anything would be better than the older UCS one that has *blue* accents on it.

I watched a few reviews of the D&D set and hadn't realized that it's an actual adventure, with a book and everything. That alone makes it pretty cool and unique. If some DMs out there have infinite time, they can even take inspiration from this to build out adventures each week in Lego form!

Probably, if you're into mechanical orreries. I think it's cool. People here have expressed that they prefer an unofficial version though, due to the visible joins on the Sun hemispheres. I can say that the mechanism in the official one is very cool and e.g. preserves the correct axial tilt on the Earth as it orbits which is more detail than one might expect from a Lego kit. I like the look of it, as well.

Original pieces I guess, judging by the clutch and slightly different molds etc.

The current thread title is worryingly accurate. I’m currently unemployed so I have the time to build Lego, but at some point I’m going to have to reconsider my spending on these things.

I didn’t expect to get so into Lego like I have. Turns out it’s a lot of fun. poo poo.

I had a similar problem. the main thing is to have a goal in mind and not just buy because something is on sale. so set a budget and remember that there'll always be another eBay or marketplace listing

There's no shame in making a spreadsheet to plan your budget, decide what you really want to get, and what you're willing to spend on those sets.
