    One thing’s for sure. You won’t need to buy that many Coruscant Guard Gunships as you’ve already got a bunch of decaled Shock Troopers.

    I think it’s great that your displaying your MOCS, also not buying LEGO sets will help you save money that can go towards your own creations! Nice video Coconut

    I think displaying more Mocs vs sets is a great idea! Especially since you have started to use more custom vehicles which makes Legos models obsolete. Keep up the great work!

    I love this and recently I started doing this myself! I buy the sets for the figs and I build them to learn new techniques, but then I almost immediately take them apart for the pieces. I also understand the draw of collecting sets, but I think it's a bit cooler to be able to display your own builds

      The figs are my main attraction to sets as well but I have started buying them from bricklink.

    I think that we have a similar philosophy for when it comes to what we display, out of all the builds i have on display, 5 of them are official sets, everything else is either custom sets or the few MOCs i've built to date. Main reason being that Lego official sets don't really capture what i want for my collection, accuracy and complexity are my main focus. I still buy a lot of official set but mostly for the minifigs and to be up to date with the new parts that Lego offers as it's a great development tool/asset for the custom sets i create or collaborate with other designers.

    • @coconutbricksstudios
      @coconutbricksstudios  Рік тому

      I have a couple ucs sets I would like to display but I want to start displaying more custom vehicles. When I eventually get a larger permanent display setup I want to invest more in those types of builds.

    I also do not collect and display many sets. I only have a few sets still built (Rivendell, Lion Knights Castle, and the new Galaxy Explorer). Any other set I've recently bought and built has since been parted out and sorted for MOC building.

    • @coconutbricksstudios
      @coconutbricksstudios  Рік тому +1

      I do think Legos bigger sets like the ucs style stuff make for great display pieces! I have the ucs imperial shuttle and sandcrawler and wish I could display them.

    For me buying Lego sets is very much a finite thing. It's not that I don't want to keep collecting, it's just I don't have nearly enough space or money for that matter. With Lego becoming more & more expensive, I rarely buy a set straight away as most are just vastly overpriced imo but that's just the way things go I guess.
