>>7466074It really fucking pains me.
>just recently came back to LEGO after 15+ years>lost vast majority sets, had to start basically from a scratch, with just a box of old pieces that went through hands of at least 4 family members over the years>get a decent number of old sets for a fair amount of money along with a few modern ones>start making small/middle sized MOCs>quickly realize I'm held back by lack of basic pieces>most sets, even the Classics, come with a lot of specialised shit and pieces I don't think I'll have any use for in the near future>bricklink it is>due to terrible shipping fees to my country, I'm stuck with cheap, but visibly worn out or expensive, but perfect bricks>assuming that pieces in proper color exist in the first place>lose interest in MOCing after a few monthsI'm not bailing out completely, but the hobby is not as fun as I've expected.
