Genuinely upset with lego for perhaps the first or one of the very few times in my life, was worried about the stickers through the entire build to that point and not enjoying it, and have zero desire to go back and complete this set because I'm just going to see the semi scuffed stickers that should have been a tile or three. Didn't have this issue with anything else, not even the absurdly sticker heavy f1 cars.
Really starting to hate the star wars line, it's overpriced, under-stocked piece wise, sets are getting smaller and smaller to embarrassing levels and made out to be this weird adult, sophisticated line with soulless boxes to justify the price and ohhh it's not a toy mentality.
Could have gotten the cool 3in1 dragon instead, could have gotten the police station for a laugh, the comparative value for sw stuff v other lines is obscene especially when it feels like an afterthought in design.
