    I'm suuuuuper tempted to buy the bugatti and Ducati, but can't get over the robotic look of the Technic sets.
    I have the Creator series F40.. still my favorite set and it's the one that caught my eye and got me into Lego about 3 years ago. Now I'm the proud adult fanatic that owns several thousand dollar worth of Lego sets.
    Have almost all the expert modular buildings :D

    Bugatti is retiring at the end of the year. If you're going to get it, better jump soon.

    Literally just reminded myself about the speed champions bugatti (75878), just went on Facebook marketplace and scored 1, brand new, for a steal compared to what they go for.
    Nothing like that Lego high.
    I LOVE scoring sets I really want, second hand, for an absolute steal.

    I'm so on the fence about the Technic bugatti. I've almost bought it at least a dozen times now. It's a tough piece to display due to size, and it's a Technic set which doesn't really scratch my itch.
    I'd probably buy the big Disney castle before I bought the bugatti.. however, I'll probably end up not buying either... maybe.

    What are some sets that you guys and gals keep your eyes peeled for? I have a few that I can't wait to find for a good deal.
    I just scored what looks to be a 80%+ complete grand emporium for free.. came with a literal ton of loose lego that I've yet to go through to try and see if the rest is in there.
    I'd love to get my hands on a green grocer set.
    I want to put together the UCS millennium falcon, but don't really care to own it.
    I still need my nba player set that has Kobe in it, I have at least 5 or 6 of the other sets of players.
    Can't really think of others off the top of my head, so how about you?

    and the birds
    upload_2021-10-14_17-53-42.jpg

    and as far as unofficial lego bits i want the lego park ranger. i think it was actually made by lego but not sold by lego. only through the national park service stores and they discontinued it. i follow @legoparkranger on IG and they always post up cool stuff. there's male and female versions

    upload_2021-10-14_17-58-40.jpg

    Nice score!

    I've almost bought the Chiron a few times as well. Finally decided I don't need it. I have the Porsche GT3 RS and that is enough for me. Don't need the Bugatti and don't like the looks of the Lamborghini.

    Ive been on the hunt for the UCS Slave 1 for a while. Found on on eBay for about $350 shipped ($100 over new). Heard a rumor they were gonna do another UCS Boba Fett starship but since it’s no longer Slave 1 I figured I’d pay the premium (used) for the actual Slave 1 instead of whatever Disney will call it.

    I also snagged the Iron Man Hulk Buster UCS set used for a decent deal. Gotta take some pics to post up here

    Other than those the only sets I want are still in production

    That reminds me, that new Porsche 911 they have... the old school 911... I'm very tempted to buy that.
    One of my favorite cars, and only $150. My bank account hates Lego

    That's no fun. What MOC are you working on? Or is this for your campground build?

    some for my campground (trees) and some to finish off the display cases I bought for my mini figs. I got a bunch of 2x12 black plates to replace the 4x3 mini fig plates. the 2x12 will fit a lot better so they'll look less messy
