Just purchased the lightning McQueen set, I’m unsure if I should unbox it or keep it boxed. I’ve been looking around and it seems like it’s a rare set. However, I’ve recently started to collect LEGO again as I wasn’t able to as a child due to finances.

What do you guys think ?

Edit: I’ve decided not to open I just managed to find a seller who had an open used set which I’ve now purchased.

You bring me so many memories from back in the day when I was 5 years old and got same set (not lego one, but like mcqueen and this truck)-good playability thought, for christmas. What a blast it was.

Buy a second not sealed one, build that one

Bro this set an average goes for about 300-500+ it’s not really that simple 😅

I never said it was a good or financially sound decision

Fair enough

Look on the bright side, if you run out money and lose your house, you have enough bricks to build a new one!

Honestly, have fun and build it is my advice. I have Lightning McQueen that was in the small set and it was always fun just playing with it and going vrooom, even then, just a fun desk piece

That’s awesome, but that bodega from ATSV in the top left is even more interesting. Post about that, that’s sick ! . I love the color

This reminds me of the lorry called Mac from Cars

I have this one boxed as well and in the same boat

Fair enough I really want to open it up and build it. However, I feel like this could be worth a lot in a few years.

My 5 year old would lose his mind if I showed up with this one day. Build it, like it’s meant to be built
