should i do it 🫣??

Finding rare LEGO sets like the Speed Champions Nissan Skyline GT-R (R34) can be quite a challenge for collectors and enthusiasts alike. From my experience, this set is not only popular but also tricky to get through official LEGO stores, which means missing out on valuable loyalty points. The fact that it is often on backorder rather than sold out suggests high demand and a limited supply. While waiting for it to restock, I’ve noticed that some resellers may offer the set at a premium price, so deciding whether to purchase when it becomes available requires weighing the cost against how much you value completing your collection. If you’re a fan of Fast & Furious or Paul Walker, owning this particular set adds a nostalgic touch to your LEGO display, which might justify the wait or extra expense. I personally decided to “just do it” because the excitement of finally having the detailed Nissan Skyline GT-R (R34) model outweighed the inconvenience of waiting. For collectors, sometimes patience pays off, and securing the set through backorder ensures you won’t miss out entirely. Additionally, if you care about earning LEGO VIP points, checking local LEGO stores periodically or using alert tools for restocks might increase your chances of buying it at retail price. Joining LEGO forums or communities with hashtags like #76917lego and #speedchampions can also help you stay updated on availability. Overall, if you love the design, the theme, and want to add a unique piece to your LEGO collection, I’d recommend going for it when you see the set available—even if it means a bit of waiting or extra effort.
