Lego building as a hobby

i have 2 or 3 knockoffs completed and so far i've been lucky to have high quality. they are only my office, but i prefer the real deal. plus, the knockoffs tend to scratch easier and can be much stiffer (twss) to snap together.

wish list (non-retired and a fraction of what i want lol):
the office - 21336
poinsettia - 10370
succulents - 10309
countach - 10337
kingfisher bird - 10331
titanic - 10294
tales of the space age - 21340
tuxedo cat - 21349
baby yoda - 75318 (retired but easy to find)
chewbacca - 75371
r2-d2 - 75308
c-3po - 75398

knockoffs (well "moc" since not affiliated with any lego sets):
dragon dracunculus
fairy lily bouquet
facehugger
thing
honeybee, butterfly, dragonfly
dogmatix
beetlejuice snake
random lightsabers

Nice wish list. I definitely want to get the Chewie, 3PO, R2-D2 sets together. That would be a great trio to display.

The Office looks like a fun set. The Simpsons and SpongeBob would be a couple of TV themes I'd like to get, but those sets are retired.

My white whale is the UCS Death Star 75159. But at over $1k for a new sealed in box...ouch. I'll more than likely look for a used complete set in the $700 range if/when I feel ready to pull the trigger.
