Over the past two years my LEGO hobby has become something more of a habit—an expensive one. LEGO have always been pricey, but prices have only gone up with inflation.
As such, I’m trimming back on my habit slightly. I still have an awesome set from Christmas that I need to build, and it’s a big one—more details soon(ish). I just keep having other projects and deadlines and such to meet, so I haven’t taken time to sit down and build it.
Of course, the best of all was the Medieval Blacksmith (#21325) set, which I purchased for $145 as a birthday present to myself in January 2022. The set is sold-out at LEGO.com at the time of writing (it’s likely soon-to-be-retired), but were it in stock, it’d cost a cool $180.
Honestly, the set is worth it. If you really want to get it—and, if you have the means, I highly recommend you pick one up—it’s on Amazon for $178.36. There are also tons of knock-offs, like this $80 GUDI version. I can’t vouch for its quality, but it’s a testament to this set’s success that it’s been copied so frequently (including variations, like the FunWhole apothecary’s shop—$60 after using a $20 Amazon coupon).
Before going on, Amazon requires me to tell you that this post contains affiliate links—they’re in that prior paragraph. I get a portion of any proceeds from sales through those links, at no additional cost to you.
That aside, let’s get back to the LEGOs!
With that, here is 2 February 2023’s “TBT: Getting Medieval… with LEGO“:
