Fun to build lego set recommendation? (lemmy.world)

I was obsessed with Lego as a kid, and would like to get into the hobby once again, not as an investment, but for the fun of it.

I am huge fan of Star Wars, and Lego star wars seem to be all the rage nowadays, but looking at the sets, they seem to be awfully overpriced for what they seem offer.

I am looking for something that will be fun to build, and not terribly pricey (not more than cca 180€). Preferably fantasy or scifi inspired.

I’ve been browsing the lego website and this set in particular cought my eye. Any recommendations? Thanks

I don't know if one gets brigaded here as well as on reddit, but if you actually want to have a good building experience, with better quality bricks and don't care about the sets as an investment, go to brick alternatives. Mouldking has a ton of cool star wars sets that are much cheaper per piece.

I stopped buying LEGO™ for years now, the alternatives only get better and LEGO™ only gets worse. The only reason to buy LEGO™ nowadays is to keep the sets closed and hope they get even more expensive in the future... They even stopped B-Models. They know their customers...

I have been collecting LEGO for decades and other than a few instances (brittle brown and reds) I have not noticed LEGO getting worse. More expensive, but not getting worse.

I have definitely noticed it. Clutch power and stability is still great as ever, but ugly mold marks, color mismatches, scratches on larger transparent pieces out of the box, low quality of prints on pieces and misprints in instructions are all things that have noticeably increased for me over the last years.
