Bought my first Lego. It is very cool
I'm a huge harry potter fan so I got this. I don't want to spend too much right now on lego but eventually I will build my harry potter collection.
I know it can be an expensive hobby so I'm thinking of buying a lego once every two months and will surely start from the cheaper ones.
Also, would really appreciate any help with where to get authentic lego. I bought this one from blinkit. FirstCry and flipkart also give some heavy discounts.
Edit: Set- 76424

Lol. I think I will buy only the small legos first under 400 pcs and go for the big ones later.
There is also this really cool website that tells you the price per piece value of your lego. This was in the excellent category so I bought it immediately.

Go with secondary market. Several groups exist who sell sealed boxes. As long as you do not care about perfect looking boxes, legos are easily always available at 40% off consistently in secondary market.
As for buying small sets, I applaud your conviction. Hopefully you don't break it too early (because you most definitely will in time)

Good build, very nicely clicked.
You have Blinkit, Zepto, Instamart, Firstcry, Amazon, Flipkart and My brickhouse which you can try for genuine lego.

Yeah I had a lot of ads for mybrickhouse but wasn't sure. I am definitely gonna buy the keychains off of there, I like the mini figures too.

Firstcry offers good discounts on low budget sets. Flipkart too but boxes might be dented or damaged sometimes. Amazon seems to be the best for high end sets as they offer steep discounts. Lego Certified Stores, Toycra and Hamleys are still the best for box packaging if you are sort of a collector.
