The most boring set I've ever come across is this:
4121 - it's listed in "Gear", I don't remember how to insert
the macro tag for "Gear" to show it.
Contains 3 parts!

Storage boxes aren't really sets though, are they?

I may have left it quite intentionally blank for one reason or another.
Sadly, it's not because I would want to troll anyone.
It is what is, that's all.

What's the set number for that?

Thanks! I just found it myself, once I realized it had a wedge plate in it that
would easily identify it. Probably while you were posting your reply! Thank you
anyway!
I came across that set on a store shelf recently, was wondering what the deal
with it was! I might pick a few up just for some easy to obtain parts.
|
If you can snag them at a meaningfully discounted price, considering the purported
Canadian retail price: https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1404368
do it...
|
I don't always consider discount price for sets, particularly themed like
SW. I looked at the part out value for it on BrickLink, I'm in Australia,
pretty sure it was a full priced $79 set or thereabouts, part out value was over
$100, presumably because of the minifigs being overinflated. It would mean I
wouldn't pay more to get them, so definitely having that on my pickup list.
The other thing I occasionally like to do is get multiples of a set. Why have
one when I can have 2 or more? My buying habits are weird, if I like an
aspect of a set, I might get more of it!
Cheers ...

That is not uncommon for licensed sets, irrespective of the set or theme.

I have noticed that HP and Marvel sets tend to cost less per piece than SW -
I'm assuming the SW license is more expensive than others

| Agreed, that is a pretty ugly set, but the play value is still pretty cool because
of the motors. But you are right, it's still pretty ugly.

I raise you this set as most boring and the only reason it was both Horrible
and Useful was to add Train rails/motors/boogies/bases/controller to your 9v
Collection. I was able to get 4 of these on close out for 50 bucks each in a
department store.

Big disagree, this was my one Lego train kit as a kid and I spent countless hours
with it. Nice parts pack for back then too.
