LEGO Questions & Answers

Does breaking down (folding flat/collapsing) empty lego set boxes diminish their value? New collector trying to figure out storage space.

I've been using Dropbox and that works fine. Any recommendations. Thanks in advance.

HI all My name is Luke and I'm a Finance student at the University of Cape Town in South Africa doing a project on LEGO as an alternative investment. I am trying to paint an accurate picture of LEGO investing and I want to try get a better understanding of the sets that have earned satisfactory returns over the years rather than just the best and worst performers. Would really appreciate it if someone could help me find a few sets that fit this description. Thanks a lot

I bought a Lego set on ebay, the one with Queen Amidala (9499). It was listed as “NIB” and “You will receive one unopened set, still New In Box.” It just arrived and to my dismay, two of the seals were tampered with. There were fingerprints, and a few very small spots at the corner where the paint didn’t line up with the image below. Also, the tape isn’t sticking at one just one end (the other half after the corner is fine). I looked at it, fiddled with the lid, and then the lid just popped right open with the tape sliding off the box, barely any stick whatsoever and no additional peel of the picture off the box. I was so worried someone jacked Queen Amida…

My Brickfolio is in dollars. It's telling me it's set to GBP which is what I want it set at, but it's showing in dollars. I'm inputting prices in GBP and it's giving me value in dollars thus rendering it useless. Anyone know what to do?

I recently bought a few minifigures and notice there were vent holes in the head and the logo was a lil different.... Are these fakes

I just bought Kylo Rens shuttle 75104, box is sealed, and all bags are sealed. step one, build kylo ren and storm trooper. no mini figure parts in bag...No mini figures at all in set. Has this happened to anyone? returning set to Walmart to exchange.

Today I saw some Limited Edition WWT sets for sale, these are official Lego but lack set numbers as they seem to only be on sale wherever the WWT in the UK is currently hosting a Lego animal trail. I didn't purchase any as the cost/brick seemed a bit on the high side, but looking at eBay now there's been a few that seem to have sold for roughly double what they'd cost to pick up (as a complete set of six). So, am I an idiot for not getting some or is awareness so low that nobody would have heard of them so demand would be weak? Here's a link to a completed listing so you can see what I'm talking about: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Lego-WWT-Wet-Lands-Animals-Limited-…

Hi all, Am new to the boards and looking to get some information on what Legos I have. Most of this has been in storage for awhile and just came across it from the childhood years. Everything that I have is probably from the 80's. Wasn't sure if just boxes were worth money by themselves, if ripped boxes on one side, both sides, etc. Going to try to put some pictures up and any info would be greatly appreciated on the value and sell value. I looked up the sell value for say the Wrecker Unit 1 6656 on here and says around $40 new, I look on Ebay and someone is selling for $249 new. This item 6656 and the cement mixer 6682 are the only items new in the box. Everyt…

Back around July of 2015, my friend's daughter (8 years old) was over, and mentioned that she liked LEGO. I was feeling slightly generous, so I gave her a few polybag sets. I saw her again the other day, and she told me that she still has them and that she has built the "Dr. Who one" many, many times. I know I did not give her an actual Dr. Who, but I cannot figure out what she is talking about. I'm pretty sure it was some sort of promo, monthly mini build or general polybag. Any ideas?

Was looking at the T1 on SAH UK and saw that under the price was a drop-down box giving different numbers (6144520 & 6039709), the latter of which showed the T1 as being retired. http://shop.lego.com/en-GB/Volkswagen-T1-Camper-Van-10220 Does anyone know what these mean? Thanks /// Paul

Anyone know the site that sells UCS falcon 50% to 80% complete? I've seen it before just don't remember. I thought it was Lego.com Thanks!

In searching this site for 6848, the results that come back are puzzling. The picture in the results does not match the picture on the box. Also, the number of pieces differs. I have the original box from 1985. Total pieces equals 50. It is called Interplanetary Shuttle. Picture attached. I paged through the Space category and did not find my item. Any ideas? Thank you.

Hi, My very first question in this forum simply because looking at it amaze me. I saw a lego house that is able to open up in half like a doll house. Can I check if anyone know which set is that? Does it come from lego creator series? Also appreciate on some advice to use specific brick to create any house that can open up. Thank you.

I've recently not been able to purchase through Legos online shop store. After speaking with them and verifying my account was all fine. The review team sent a email stating my address is not a home address but a freight forwarding service which they do not ship too. I was wondering if anyone has had this issue and is there a way to fix it without moving to a whole different home lol... So far Lego hasn't helped in solving issue and I only just started buying Lego which was about $200 worth.

Just wondering how much percentage of loss there is on used/built sets? Of course in mint condition......Lets say sets in the areas of UCS Star Wars, Tumbler, Creator Builds...

Hi good day to all menbers i am new in forum,i am from portugal and have some sets of lego. My question is why King castle 6080 set is about 100$,and ppl in ebay are sliing 2000$ and 3000$,i dont understand why they do that???? tnks best regards

Hello, I have started running a Bricklink store over the past few months and I am growing well and making very good sales but I need some advice on how I can accurately figure profits. I keep great books and have all my costs/sales kept track of but when I am parting out there is no way to figure just one set when I sell individual parts. So as I sell, I am continually buying new sets with the money that comes out so essentially no matter how much I sell it appears as though I am losing money when truly I am just growing. Any advice on how I could actually figure a true profit amount would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

What is up with the Amazon Japan import. I have seen quite a bit of these lately. Does Lego actually print in Japan. I'm just a little concerned. there seems to be a lot of third party sellers through these outlets on amazon. Thanks.

I notice alot of sellers are marking up there lego sets by almost 50 to 75% when there still selling for the normal price either on Lego.com, Target , Wallmart, etc etc. Are they realing feeling that people are to lazy to do research to find a cheaper price and will just desperately overspend on Ebay??

I'm doing inventory of my missing parts I noticed on Peeron website which I use to locate model # for a set has dif ID # for parts than the instruction manual. Example picture below Peeron site has listed as 41855 but manual list is as 4163714. Which should I use?

I know, odd to think of nothing but audio about a hands-on and visual building toy, but I often listen to a variety of podcasts while I'm at work during the day. So I thought, why not expand my knowledge on LEGO? Does anyone know of any podcasts or audio shows about it? Maybe just history, or even investing? Anything really, just wanna learn more about it while I have some headphones and eight hours of time.
