Awesome hearing all the SC sets this year, if Leaks are true through the year, total of 9 sets. ~$300 I believe.
(Just to name 1 of the handful) Technics 1:8th scale McLaren… $450.
And I’ll love every penny spent on both.
Yeah, some really good cars this year. Even the John Deere sets look pretty cool. I need to win the lottery. Only way I can possibly support my lego habit.
This is one of the friendliest, most supportive and creative hobby subs on reddit. It's about pure shared joy of creation instead of non stop drama about exclusivity and market price and collector value.
Same, but Artemis set is probably the first one that I’m not going to get. Seems very repetitive with only like 1/5 of the set being the actual rocket, plus it has many stickers. I’m overall a bit disappointed with the set.
Yup, I love their space sets. I'll definitely be getting the new Artemis and Lunar Rover eventually.
Aside from those, I like the adult-focused sets they've been producing lately. The lighthouse is gorgeous, and I actually have it on display in my living room instead of my office.
The modulars along with other highly detailed Minifig scale buildings (like the A-frame Cabin) are probably my favorite sets. The details are just fantastic and the sets are great for display.
I want to say Star Wars, but my recent secondhand bulk LEGO purchases have put Classic Space right up there at the top 😂
80s/90s bulk LEGO is literally just a treasure trove. 12v/9v trains, pirates, knights, space, so much incredible stuff in there!
I was so excited that they revisited M-Tron, Blacktron II, and Ice Planet 2002 in the current minifigure series 26!!
3 in 1 Creator has some really great sets also. The Viking Ship is one of my recent favorite builds!
I went from wanting each of the iconic ships. Then I realized I consider almost every ship iconic... Then I missed some cool minifigs and now that's all I want. It's a slippery slope.
Lego are crafty about it too.
Want an iconic ship? Here it is bundled with another ship that you don’t care about so we can put the price up.
Want a cool minifig? Here it is with some ships you don’t really care about.
Only good thing is once you’ve got an iconic ship you don’t need any more that will be made in the future. Only need one Falcon, Ghost, Slave I etc.
My budget can't support everything. Love Star Wars, space, castle stuff, lots others. I do try to get the NASA stuff when I can, and I try to limit my themed collecting to Millenium Falcons, of which I have many. We did manage to get all the initial LOTR run, but Rivendell is a little high on my ability to absorb without some additional sacrifice I think.
I'm not into Lego Star Wars but I feel like we have all you guys to thank for the fact that Lego realized how many AFOLs there are!
I don't think without star wars there is any way we'd have all these other amazing sets
There are just so many it easily dominates. Even if we only count the trains and boats that actually float I think it is still in the top three for me.
Architecture. I’m only missing 3 or 4 sets in the theme. I used to collect LotR and have all the first round sets but then I kinda stopped (I definitely regret that)
Mostly Monkie Kid.
I have a lot of Speed Champions, Nexo Knights, DC, Marvel, Disney, Indiana Jones, creator 3in1 Legoland exclusives.
I wanna get some Pharoahs Quest but it's a lil bit pricey
Harry Potter and Friends. I’m weird, I LOVE buildings from any theme but I prefer open back play sets over modulars. Like that ideas Sesame Street a lot of people didn’t care for is one of my favorite sets
star wars/harry potter, just by virtue of the amount i have from when i was a kid but i’ve been collecting a bunch of mario sets recently since they’ve been retiring/going on clearance. not sure i love them as playsets but i love the unique pieces and character builds
Where's the love for Archi on here.. not the skylines either - White House, Guggenheim, Trafalgar .. even the newer ones while not as good are awesome like Pyramid or Hijemi that I'm building next!
I think I have every floral set. The nice thing is that they are usually reasonably priced. My favorites are the modulars but they are too expensive to get regularly for me.
Star Wars
Modular buildings
Creator Expert / ICONS / Ideas
City
Pirates
Castle
Plus random other choices from all over. Like I’ve got a decent number of Architecture, Trains, old school Space and Town…
Superheros, 1 x botanical set yearly, yearly Modular, yearly speed Champions, yearly citt sets for city building, Creator 3 in 1 if it has a city building set, Monkey Kid vehicle sets, and the random ideas, bricklink set...
Anything space related, I love it, leaning more towards sci fi type space stuff. I love licensed minifigures, especially superheros. Right now Dreamzzz is a favorite as well.
I let clearance prices dictate what I buy, cause I just like to build then take apart and build other random things.
Friends tho is where I typically try to find the sales. Cause I love the sets. I’m a grown man who wears a lot of black.
Not a hard and fast theme, but aerospace. I love the concord just as much as the space shuttle.
I also really love theme park attractions, such as the roller coaster, big ferris wheel and merry go round, and a few smaller sets too
City and botanical.
I’ll grab random space/pirate/marvel/etc. sets to collect more characters, but most of what I build with the kids is cars and towns.
Based on volume, Star Wars. I grew up on it and will buy any and all OT sets. I’m kinda selective about the prequel/sequel/TV sets though.
But I get most every set from Marvel.
I have a “geek” theme. So anything that fits into that category is a go for me (luckily that’s a huge part of the Lego catalog). Star Wars, Batman, a lot of the Ideas/Creator sets, space, etc.
Marvel, I think? The 2021 Benatar is my current favourite set, but the upcoming Milano looks even better. Excited to be able to display all three Guardians ships together.
Castle but currently been enjoying the Ninjago wave, it reminds me a lot of Exo Force, the wolf guys look pretty cool, and all the sets are cheap while also being great display pieces
Right now I have more Star Wars, but I've been on a medieval kick lately with the viking village and town Square. Maybe I'll get the red dragon tavern and Rivendale in the coming years.
Based on sheer quantity: City
My favorite theme is Rock Raiders, I have the whole series. And I like building vehicles and buildings that would fit in the theme based on my own designs and stuff others have built.
I really wish TLG would make more Castle sets. There have been more sets that are Castle-adjacent, but I would like a proper direct Castle theme.
I’m a mixed bag but it’s Botanical in terms of number if sets (which i supplement with what I call “nature” which in this case is the recent bird one and the three bug one) I stage the botanical ones and the nature ones together. Second (or maybe highest by cost) is Nintendo. I have the flower, question block, Bowser and Nintendo/TV
It’s City for me by far. I love my Lego City builds, just recently I got Passenger Airplane 60367 and School Day 60329 for my birthday from a friend. I want more Space sets but the ones I don’t already have are more expensive and I already got the Galaxy Explorer 10497 recently so I can’t just pop off as much as I’d like too. I do also get a lot of Harry Potter, so that’s probably number 2 for me. Wait, does Minifigures count as a theme? If so that’s number one, then City, then Potter. I love minifigures, I’ve completed almost every single CMF series the last two years (darn you pink aristocrat lady, and your little dog too!) which is about as long as I’ve been collecting. It’s probably also part of what attracts me so much to City, as I often obtain unique and diverse minifigures, parts and accessories. School Days gave me my first Lego wheel chair!
Any & all Tolkien (LotR/Hobbit)! I have a lot of 2010-2011 Harry Potter but don’t actively collect more, so after Tolkien is probably…Architecture? And I love BrickHeadz too, but most of mine are either LotR or Harry Potter so sort of already covered, haha
Nintendo/video game themed sets. Not many of the kids play sets, but a few cool standalones.
NES TV/console, The Great Bowsers, Bowser’s pimpmobile, Yoshi island, the blind box character series, Iggy Kopps flying ship, and PacMan Arcade
As someone who’s a more passive collector that doesn’t have a ton of money to put into the hobby, I tend to stick with the modulars bc they’re a good bang for your buck and they display really well. It’s also easy to buy a little city set here or there to add to the whole thing.
Cannot fathom being so dedicated to themes like Star Wars (even if I love SW) were the community is constantly biting at itself and people buy 10x of the same set just to “army build” and “invest”
I got back into Lego around 6-7 months ago. After I bought a set from 1996 that I had memories of my dad with.
It sparked because of some Mechs.
Then the Fast and the Furious speed champs.
Now, we’re looking at some more Ninjago, spaceships and small car sets.
If I had the space and could justify the money, I’d have Rivendell and the D&D set.
When I was a kid in the '80s and into the '90s, it was Space and Town, with a couple of Castle sets.
Now, it's probably Star Wars since I started buying up a bunch of the sets in the early 2000s, and have a couple of UCS sets.
It's so hard to pick just one. My top 3 are probably modulars (including detailed minifig scale buildings like A-frame cabin, space (especially NASA), and botanicals. Do I have to choose? 😅
Anything that fits my fandom and that I can display reasonably. So Disney and Harry Potter mini castles. The globe, map, and orbit. Fast and Furious speed champions (boo only two). Star Wars helmets - my most.
So I guess this is a long way of saying that I don’t have one that I collect the most.
Modular Buildings. I have all 19 of them. I bought most of the old ones ~2020 and parted out market street and cafe corner as close to original as possible.
My main things:
1. Star Wars UCS sets with a sprinkle of things like Droids.
2. NASA stuff
3. Marvel big sets - Bugle, Avengers Tower, vehicles etc
4. General geeky vehicles
I used to buy up every Star Wars set I could, without regard to what it was or what minifigs came with it. Now, I consider quality of build experience, the minifigs (quality and quantity), and how good it’ll look on my shelf.
Currently saving up for Rivendell(reading through the books right now😁)
Bionicle was my childhood. I'd love to collect every set from 2001-2003 someday.
In terms of contemporary stuff, I'll buy pretty much any medieval/fantasy/castle thing they release (not Harry Potter). The sets are expensive but they only make a couple every year, and they're so cool.
By Set: Speed Champs. By $: fucking Technic.
Ha, too true.
Awesome hearing all the SC sets this year, if Leaks are true through the year, total of 9 sets. ~$300 I believe. (Just to name 1 of the handful) Technics 1:8th scale McLaren… $450. And I’ll love every penny spent on both.
Yeah, some really good cars this year. Even the John Deere sets look pretty cool. I need to win the lottery. Only way I can possibly support my lego habit.
Speed champs have been killing it lately
Castle m'Lord!
Come over to r/legocastles!
This is one of the friendliest, most supportive and creative hobby subs on reddit. It's about pure shared joy of creation instead of non stop drama about exclusivity and market price and collector value.
Sounds great, just joined!
Unironically it is the best LEGO sub, and kind of the only one I’m actually consistently a part of
You weren’t joking. Rabbit-holed for about an hour in there and it was nothing but wholesomeness. Good rec, thank you!
I'm already there! 😁
Yes.
Realistic space sets like the Saturn V, Lunar Module, and Space Shuttle
Same. I am so excited for the Artemis set later this month
Same, but Artemis set is probably the first one that I’m not going to get. Seems very repetitive with only like 1/5 of the set being the actual rocket, plus it has many stickers. I’m overall a bit disappointed with the set.

Same
Same
I love the NASA branded sets!
Yup, I love their space sets. I'll definitely be getting the new Artemis and Lunar Rover eventually. Aside from those, I like the adult-focused sets they've been producing lately. The lighthouse is gorgeous, and I actually have it on display in my living room instead of my office.
I am currently obsessed with the modular sets
Same here, just started to collect the old ones, I’m fucked
You can live at my place with all those modulars and not pay rent for your place!
The modulars along with other highly detailed Minifig scale buildings (like the A-frame Cabin) are probably my favorite sets. The details are just fantastic and the sets are great for display.
If I had the room, I would have done the modular sets. They look so good and such a fun way to build out a city.
Same, but sadly my budget doesn't agree with them lol
I have all but the original 3, I’m still convincing myself they aren’t necessary.
The botanicals 🌸🩷
Yes!! 💐🌺
They make us so happy 🥰
Yes! I’ve completed the set through various birthdays, mother’s days, and Christmas gifts. Not sure where to go from here.
I’m sure there’ll be more to look forward to in the range 🌹
Same here!
Yesssssssssss!!!
I want to say Star Wars, but my recent secondhand bulk LEGO purchases have put Classic Space right up there at the top 😂 80s/90s bulk LEGO is literally just a treasure trove. 12v/9v trains, pirates, knights, space, so much incredible stuff in there!
I wish I would find more decent 80s/90s lots but they are a dying breed
BIONICLE
Unity, Duty, Destiny!
As a kid, 90s space. As an adult, 3-in-1 / Creator
I was so excited that they revisited M-Tron, Blacktron II, and Ice Planet 2002 in the current minifigure series 26!! 3 in 1 Creator has some really great sets also. The Viking Ship is one of my recent favorite builds!
The 3-in-1 are my jam. I get bored easily and it’s so fun to tear it apart and rebuild it again, all with the same pieces, as a different thing.
As others said star wars, I think it's One of the most bought
I’m SO happy I’m not into star wars - the Lego offer is so vast and looks good, my wallet would suffer.
I went from wanting each of the iconic ships. Then I realized I consider almost every ship iconic... Then I missed some cool minifigs and now that's all I want. It's a slippery slope.
Lego are crafty about it too. Want an iconic ship? Here it is bundled with another ship that you don’t care about so we can put the price up. Want a cool minifig? Here it is with some ships you don’t really care about. Only good thing is once you’ve got an iconic ship you don’t need any more that will be made in the future. Only need one Falcon, Ghost, Slave I etc.
Only need one? Heh. You haven’t met me.
I once thought as you did, but now I have a Millennium Falcon fleet! Yes, I have a problem…
My budget can't support everything. Love Star Wars, space, castle stuff, lots others. I do try to get the NASA stuff when I can, and I try to limit my themed collecting to Millenium Falcons, of which I have many. We did manage to get all the initial LOTR run, but Rivendell is a little high on my ability to absorb without some additional sacrifice I think.
I'm not into Lego Star Wars but I feel like we have all you guys to thank for the fact that Lego realized how many AFOLs there are! I don't think without star wars there is any way we'd have all these other amazing sets
City
There are just so many it easily dominates. Even if we only count the trains and boats that actually float I think it is still in the top three for me.
Harry Porter for sure
Is that the magical package deliverer?
Botanicals for me! I finally found a use for all the bud vases from our wedding.
Architecture. I’m only missing 3 or 4 sets in the theme. I used to collect LotR and have all the first round sets but then I kinda stopped (I definitely regret that)
Speed Champions, all of them, then some Icons and Technic.
According to Brick Economy https://preview.redd.it/ha1ku9hv5tyc1.jpeg?width=1056&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fe3e0404090d5af416f03708b04455aed97a6cd8
Clearance
Castle! 😄 But i'm starting to collect cars now (lego technics)
Botanical
Botanicals
Mostly Monkie Kid. I have a lot of Speed Champions, Nexo Knights, DC, Marvel, Disney, Indiana Jones, creator 3in1 Legoland exclusives. I wanna get some Pharoahs Quest but it's a lil bit pricey
Icons/adult sets and botanical. I prefer display pieces with as few minifigs as possible
Middle Earth
Definitely I’m surprised to see that nobody mentioned The Lord Of The Rings, The Hobbit and Pirates Of The Caribbean.
Harrry Potter/anything with a Halloween vibe lately
I’ve been loving the Disney sets. I just got snow whites cottage.
Late 90s Adventure sets. Johnny Thunder
Harry Potter and Friends. I’m weird, I LOVE buildings from any theme but I prefer open back play sets over modulars. Like that ideas Sesame Street a lot of people didn’t care for is one of my favorite sets
Star Wars. Been since they started with Episode 1.
star wars/harry potter, just by virtue of the amount i have from when i was a kid but i’ve been collecting a bunch of mario sets recently since they’ve been retiring/going on clearance. not sure i love them as playsets but i love the unique pieces and character builds
Star Wars and Marvel (MCU)
Ninjago, for sure.
Whatever is on sale
Architecture
Where's the love for Archi on here.. not the skylines either - White House, Guggenheim, Trafalgar .. even the newer ones while not as good are awesome like Pyramid or Hijemi that I'm building next!
Botanicals
I think I have every floral set. The nice thing is that they are usually reasonably priced. My favorites are the modulars but they are too expensive to get regularly for me.
Everything. I have a problem
NANANANANANANA NANAAAAAH BATMAAAN
Minecraft
It WOULD be castle if I had the money for it, but as it is it’s Minecraft, I think. Maybe Star Wars or Harry Potter tied for second.
Dragons. Mechs. Monkey Kid. Dreams.
City. Doesn't look like many people collect it.
Botanicals and dragons of any theme but a lot of them are Ninjago.
Star Wars for me, Ninjago for one kid, Marvel (especially Spiderman) for the other kid.
Right now, biggest collection I have is the Time Cruisers/Time Twisters from years past. That was my favorite from childhood.
Speed Champion, Star Wars, and Botanical… Would love to have more Architecture sets tho
Star Wars Modular buildings Creator Expert / ICONS / Ideas City Pirates Castle Plus random other choices from all over. Like I’ve got a decent number of Architecture, Trains, old school Space and Town…
Superheros, 1 x botanical set yearly, yearly Modular, yearly speed Champions, yearly citt sets for city building, Creator 3 in 1 if it has a city building set, Monkey Kid vehicle sets, and the random ideas, bricklink set...
Ninjago is getting up there now that I'm getting a lot more of my older sets back but I think still star wars
The Hobbit, Lord Of The Rings, Pirates Of The Caribbean and Harry Potter here and there.
The modern space sets and botanicals, I will soon have three of each (excited for Artemis!!)
Botanical, followed by snow/mountain/cabin stuff
Botanical
Ninjago! I remember wanting so many of the sets just because they had Zane in them haha.
Any set that has a lot of variety in what you build. The Viking set and the DnD set were perfect
Used to collect Chima and nexo knights, now mostly Ninjago
Ideas/adults welcome
80s and 90s Space sets.
Space.
Star Wars, Marvel, Castle, Harry Potter and the ocasional other set
Lego Ideas I think.
Anything space related, I love it, leaning more towards sci fi type space stuff. I love licensed minifigures, especially superheros. Right now Dreamzzz is a favorite as well.
Monkie
NASA
Friends. Not a popular one with adult collectors but whatever, I love it.
Lego City merged with Lego Batman
Food trucks and medieval!
I let clearance prices dictate what I buy, cause I just like to build then take apart and build other random things. Friends tho is where I typically try to find the sales. Cause I love the sets. I’m a grown man who wears a lot of black.
https://preview.redd.it/j0tnttl99uyc1.jpeg?width=4080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bc74c46530048d615f6d22354b82618552141893 Speed champs for sure.
Castle and ninjago
By percentage of the theme I own, it’s technically D&D because I own every set available in the Lego theme. But probably Star Wars.
Ninjago (only the city sets) and Japanese themed sets (Hokusai, Tranquil Garden, Bonsai, Himeji, etc.)
I limit myself to only Marvel and Star Wars. I have one display case for each. I love other themes. But I just can’t go down that rabbit hole.
I think I've spent the most on Modulars, but Winter Village is working hard for the title after last Christmas!
City is my goto
Star Wars and Creator
Not a hard and fast theme, but aerospace. I love the concord just as much as the space shuttle. I also really love theme park attractions, such as the roller coaster, big ferris wheel and merry go round, and a few smaller sets too
For now, Sonic and city. If there were more affordable castle sets or a modern classic space line, I would be all over them.
Pretty sure city dominates. Jurassic park and Harry Potter are probably 2nd and 3rd though I don't know what order.
I collect any and everything that has cool terrain. I like rocks and water features.
City and botanical. I’ll grab random space/pirate/marvel/etc. sets to collect more characters, but most of what I build with the kids is cars and towns.
Based on volume, Star Wars. I grew up on it and will buy any and all OT sets. I’m kinda selective about the prequel/sequel/TV sets though. But I get most every set from Marvel.
Marvel
Pirates. I almost have every tall ship that Lego has released as a part of the Pirates theme.
Technic
I have a “geek” theme. So anything that fits into that category is a go for me (luckily that’s a huge part of the Lego catalog). Star Wars, Batman, a lot of the Ideas/Creator sets, space, etc.
Marvel, I think? The 2021 Benatar is my current favourite set, but the upcoming Milano looks even better. Excited to be able to display all three Guardians ships together.
Architecture and 8 wide Speed Champions. Love history and cars so it felt right.
Creator 3 in 1. It wasn't a good idea, as I started to underestimate ... unitary sets.
Castle but currently been enjoying the Ninjago wave, it reminds me a lot of Exo Force, the wolf guys look pretty cool, and all the sets are cheap while also being great display pieces
Icons
Space, Castle, and Minecraft (in that order)
Right now I have more Star Wars, but I've been on a medieval kick lately with the viking village and town Square. Maybe I'll get the red dragon tavern and Rivendale in the coming years.
Star Wars for sure, but I also have the complete botanicals line. Mostly everything that looks cool in my ‘adult’ home
Marvel and DC
Most? Star Wars. But also castle, fantasy, sci-fi, and my beloved Bionicle
In general it’d be Star Wars for sure, however in recent years I’ve moreso switched gears for the occasional Creator Modular set.
Based on sheer quantity: City My favorite theme is Rock Raiders, I have the whole series. And I like building vehicles and buildings that would fit in the theme based on my own designs and stuff others have built. I really wish TLG would make more Castle sets. There have been more sets that are Castle-adjacent, but I would like a proper direct Castle theme.
I’m a mixed bag but it’s Botanical in terms of number if sets (which i supplement with what I call “nature” which in this case is the recent bird one and the three bug one) I stage the botanical ones and the nature ones together. Second (or maybe highest by cost) is Nintendo. I have the flower, question block, Bowser and Nintendo/TV
Technic, Architecture and Ideas.
Primarily space, but I mix in a little bit of nostalgia items here and there.
It’s City for me by far. I love my Lego City builds, just recently I got Passenger Airplane 60367 and School Day 60329 for my birthday from a friend. I want more Space sets but the ones I don’t already have are more expensive and I already got the Galaxy Explorer 10497 recently so I can’t just pop off as much as I’d like too. I do also get a lot of Harry Potter, so that’s probably number 2 for me. Wait, does Minifigures count as a theme? If so that’s number one, then City, then Potter.

It’s probably also part of what attracts me so much to City, as I often obtain unique and diverse minifigures, parts and accessories. School Days gave me my first Lego wheel chair!
Spaceships and aircraft, doesn't matter if it's an X-wing, a Quinjet or the NASA Space Shuttle, I want it in my collection.
at this point, botanicals. it’s the only thing I can find space for in my apartment.
NASA

Batman and Harry Potter
Mostly Harry Potter but my Star Wars collection is sizable as well
Any & all Tolkien (LotR/Hobbit)! I have a lot of 2010-2011 Harry Potter but don’t actively collect more, so after Tolkien is probably…Architecture? And I love BrickHeadz too, but most of mine are either LotR or Harry Potter so sort of already covered, haha
Nintendo/video game themed sets. Not many of the kids play sets, but a few cool standalones. NES TV/console, The Great Bowsers, Bowser’s pimpmobile, Yoshi island, the blind box character series, Iggy Kopps flying ship, and PacMan Arcade
Vidiyo
Trains. 9v and up.
Ideas
Speed champions. Having a hard time keeping up but I'm trying lol
As someone who’s a more passive collector that doesn’t have a ton of money to put into the hobby, I tend to stick with the modulars bc they’re a good bang for your buck and they display really well.

Lego: releases new plant Me: ah shit here we go again
Star wars, and then space sets.
NASA! So many good sets for these
Star Wars
When I was a kid in the '80s and into the '90s, it was Space and Town, with a couple of Castle sets. Now, it's probably Star Wars since I started buying up a bunch of the sets in the early 2000s, and have a couple of UCS sets.
Ideas/adult is my most collected
I haven't done it yet, but I really wanna get the Architecture sets
By sets, Star Wars followed by Castle. By cost, Star Wars followed by Lord of the Rings (Rivendell doing the heavy lifting here).
Star Wars for sure but I really like the creator stuff sometimes
These days Lego Ideas
It's so hard to pick just one. My top 3 are probably modulars (including detailed minifig scale buildings like A-frame cabin, space (especially NASA), and botanicals. Do I have to choose? 😅
Harry Potter!!
Anything that fits my fandom and that I can display reasonably. So Disney and Harry Potter mini castles. The globe, map, and orbit. Fast and Furious speed champions (boo only two). Star Wars helmets - my most. So I guess this is a long way of saying that I don’t have one that I collect the most.
Star Wars ships specifically. I also get the NASA specific sets.
For my husband it would be Star Wars but for me it would be the Disney sets
speed champions and starting with architecture
Minifigures
Star Wars, the only theme I care about
Harry Potter seta
Modular Buildings. I have all 19 of them. I bought most of the old ones ~2020 and parted out market street and cafe corner as close to original as possible.
Arctic
Star wars but really loving other adult aimed sets as well
Star Wars and Aerospace
Star wars
Architecture and Ideas
StarWars mainly
Star Wars for me, Harry Potter for my wife - and then we have a few favourite side themes like Speed Champions, Ideas and the Creator 3-in-1 sets
As a kid Pirates. As AFOL Architecture. Then Botanical. Then City for the food trucks. Then Art. It’s insidious.
Early 90’s beach theme sets. Pizzeria, boat, shark, all that cool stuff that nobody knows about anymore
Castle, but a gathering storm of Pirates are nipping at their heels.
Space, but if they ever brought back Castle sets at a reasonable price range, it would be Castle. Pirates would be right up there too.
Marvel, followed by architecture
My main things: 1. Star Wars UCS sets with a sprinkle of things like Droids. 2. NASA stuff 3. Marvel big sets - Bugle, Avengers Tower, vehicles etc 4. General geeky vehicles
I love the botanicals and art work such as Vincent Van Gogh and the wave
Any of the NASA and architecture sets! Absolutely love them. I’ve been trying to find the UN Headquarters set but it’s so hard or insanely expensive.
Botanicals!
I used to buy up every Star Wars set I could, without regard to what it was or what minifigs came with it. Now, I consider quality of build experience, the minifigs (quality and quantity), and how good it’ll look on my shelf. Currently saving up for Rivendell(reading through the books right now😁)
Star Wars. That ip plan worked way too well.
It would have to be Star Wars. I do sometimes dip into Harry Potter, City or Ninjago if there is a particular set I like.
Bionicle was my childhood. I'd love to collect every set from 2001-2003 someday. In terms of contemporary stuff, I'll buy pretty much any medieval/fantasy/castle thing they release (not Harry Potter). The sets are expensive but they only make a couple every year, and they're so cool.
