I buy my Lego sets through the Lego website, I like to save my points up too. I buy lego as gifts for my nieces and nephews too, it adds up. I use my points quite a bit so will try to save them up to go towards bigger purchases. I have seen Lego cheaper elsewhere though and agree would save a lot buying through other companies. I’ve bought Lego through eBay; particularly retired sets.

It’s usually for the GWP
I have bought lots of Lego on eBay usually go for sealed box sets - sometimes get a discount if packaging damaged
Very occasionally I’m lucky enough to find a set in a charity shop and unless sealed won’t pay much in case bits are missing
We also go to brick fest type conventions and occasionally buy old sets but often just to get ideas of sets I wasn’t aware of

Do any of you buy second hand sets?

If so, where from, how much discount etc?

I do. I’ve bought used LEGO from Vinted and eBay. I’ve never had any issues!

Same as Lego. Plus I am mainly buying ££££ modulars - I’d be waiting years/ never hoping another retailer had it cheaper.

I bought the family Christmas tree with points we’d saved up and now have £120 in points to spend. I prefer to buy direct from Lego to get the gifts with purchase and points. It’s definitely worth it if you buy a lot of Lego.

If you get points for buying and points for registering sets they add up I find.

However do you actually save money? If you pay full price for each set, to get the points, when you use them are you really saving money? Obviously if you use them on exclusive stuff it's a good deal, but if you use them on something available elsewhere is it any better than if you have saved money previously on other sets? I guess it's long term vs short term savings

Is lego points really worth that much? I usually buy in sales and just get the 20 points, unless there's an exclusive set or a really wanted GWP

Why are there new sets that are out temporarily out of stock? I spoke to Lego and they don’t know when my two most wanted will be back in stock and now Paris In Love is temporarily out of stock too. Not even on back order. I’ve never known this happen before.

That looks good , I’ve just bought Himiji castle so that would go well .

TheWayTheLightFalls · 25/01/2026 17:06

Like the look of the next GWP.

We dream of a lottery win so we can build a bungalow with a craft / Lego room each 🤣

I need a bigger house...

My DP asked if I would like the pink rose bouquet for Valentine’s Day. Of course, the answer is yes!

Anyone who has got or getting the Spring wreath, how are you displaying it? I really want it, but I don't know what I'd do with it!

ThisIsMyYearToFindMyself · 23/01/2026 19:58

Oh if we’re starting on the Product Ideas we’ll be here all year!

My two current favourites are the Monty Python walk (it’s in the current round of judging) and the Old Man and the Sea which is in the bit they set aside to rethink, what’s it called?

I genuinely think some of the Ideas are far superior to some of the proper sets. The non professionals just build what they want with no thought to price, or whether the individual pieces are still available or not, and just let their imaginations run riot. And they’re under no time pressure. Really amazing stuff.
