How I got the LEGO Queen Anne's Revenge for under $150

Показать описание

This is such a cool set. It looks great on the box and even better in person. Kind of like Super Meat Boy.
Is this the best way to get it without breaking the bank?

Ah yes, the glory of retired LEGO values, where a brown feather is worth over $40

As a kid, I had the choice between the Black Pearl and this beauty for my birthday gift. As cool as the Pearl is, I am very pleased with my child self deciding on the Revenge. One of my favorite sets of all time!

With how easy it'd be to reprint these parts for easier access in newer Lego sets, I can't help but feel Lego does this exclusive parts crap on purpose.

I did something similar but bought the China version first and used the sails, flags, any parts without studs and sticker sheet. Everything else I replaced with lego.

What worked best for me, instead of laboriously searching for blocks, is to buy an exceptional lego set that will end this year and in 2-3 years I will easily sell it for a higher price and buy any old decommissioned ship.

10-year discarded sets no longer rise in price as sharply as sets that will end this year, until 2025 there will be a sharper increase in price than for a 10-year discarded set.

For example, I will buy a Blacksmith Medieval and a republic fighter tank today - the purchase price should be somewhere around 160 EUR, within three years it should be enough for a used Queen Anne.

Or it was worth buying a Barracuda Bay and in a few years you can easily trade it for an Imperial Flagship.

When I was a kid, I got the Black Pearl for christmas. After looking at the related sets on the last page of the instructions, I wanted this set, SO BAD. Being extremely expensive, I was never able to get it before it retired. Oh well, at least I had the black pearl

Wow How did that handsome man hold a water bottle for 4 hours straight??

all this video showed me was that I needed to take better care of my Lego sets when I was younger, cause I had this. and like a fool didn't put everything back in the box

I struggle to understand why people bother spending hundreds of extra dollars on real Lego when they can just get the functional equivalent from china, especially when it’s a display piece.

Usually the answer is “not wanting to wait super long” or “it’s risky to buy overseas”, but you went ahead and bought it anyways.

Was it really worth the extra money to have that official stamp?

so you are telling me that i have a ship in my house thats expensive nowadays? well, lets build again and sail away!

I *almost* got this set for my birthday but at the last minute decided on something else. I dearly regret that decision now (although I'm sure it'd be missing many pieces if 10-year-old me got my hands on it).

I'm gonna rebuild my black pearl because of this.

I really like this channel! It's a fun dive into the hobby and allows me to live vicariously through your experience what I cannot afford to experience for myself
