Hi fellow BPs, I just registered my account a couple of months ago and wanted to drop by and introduce myself; I'm a long time Lego enthusiast and AFOL. In the past, I have mostly been buying sets for myself to play/build/display with but with Lego becoming an increasingly expensive hobby for me, I have decided to invest in it to having a small source of funding. Currently, I am only investing in SW, but I would like some tips and suggestions of what themes to invest in and what to look out for in each theme. ( And no, I'm not that sort of dreamy dude who believes 10179 can repeat again)

I created this profile a year or so ago, but haven't posted much yet. Hoping to change that and maybe trade with some of you guys. Got into the hobby as a kid during the golden years of the 90s; forestmen, Wild West, aqua zone, even time twisters are all favorites. Started collecting again a few years ago after getting caught up in the CMF phase about series 4. Now I mainly focus on: CMF line Star Wars Modulars Architecture DC/marvel Thanks! Adam

Hi, New here and looking to inventory my collection for insurance purposes, any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! thanks, warren

Hello everyone. I'm a big lego fan and I recently decided to start investing in my favorite hobby. I have a few small sets saved up over the years and I'd like to learn more about lego investing. I used to make a lot of Lego Stop-Motion animations but with school and running track it's been hard to keep up such a time consuming activity. I'm not trying to make a fortune here but I think this could be fun as well as a small source of income. P.S. Any other runners out there?

I introduce myself, my name is Denis and I am 40 years old. In the past I have played a lot with LEGO and then I saw the new Porsche GT3RS and I could not resist and I immediately bought two! One to build it immediately and the other as an investment. Ciao!

Hello Lego Friends! My name is Yannick and I'm starting to invest in Lego. As a young kid I always liked building things. Had some Harry Potter sets back then. Now I have like €1500 to invest. Can't wait to start this new adventure ;p! Greetings from Belgium :D!!!

Hi all. Iam a new member here ..

Hello guys, Let me introduce myself. I'm from Vienna, Austria - yes, the other Austria where the kangaroos are only known from TV and zoo. I'm a 34 years old male who got out of his dark ages almost a year ago and now started to invest in Lego. It started all when my best friend bought some bulk Lego for his child at a flea market and discovered that the 29€ Lego contained the complete 10225 (R2-D2) and 7965 (MF). He asked me for help and wanted to know the worth of it. When I was a kid/teen was crazy for Lego and from time to time I checked the new Lego, but I thought I was too old to buy it. Nevertheless, I started to investigate about his 10225 and saw that…

I changed my original user name because it was the same as my Lego ID but MarleyMoose was the nickname for my 1st dog. A female Rottweiler named Marley.

Hey fellow Brick-thusists, wanted to say hello and introduce myself to the forum. Been a long time fan of Lego and me and the wife have recently taken our hobby to the next level. Looking forward to the insanity with all of you. Sincerely, Beef

Hi all Indy here, I've been creating things out of LEGO for a long while. Interested to see what you guys have and what's out there to get. Here is a time-lapse video of me creating my VW Camper van. Enjoy One question I have is how to make the white bricks that have discoloured go back to a clean white colour. Thanks, Indy

Just wanted to say hi to all. Bought the book and thought I had to do one more thing. In Hubert from the Netherlands. Looking forward to getting to know you all!

Hello Friends, I'm a young collector just starting out. We didn't have much growing up, which is one of the many reasons I am trying my hand at buying legos. In addition to investing, I want to learn about all things lego.(History, personalities, future etc.) Soon i'd like to create an organization system and have a nice collection of bricks for building.I hope to learn, grow, and have lots of fun. I'll be spending the next week looking for guides, information, and trying to ask myself as many questions as I can. If there is anything valuable you'd like to share, such as buying tactics, resources, etc. I would be honored to learn from you! If necessary, I can organiz…

HI there, Very new to Lego investing.I have purchased a number of Star Wars sets and looking forward to having some fun with them in the future. Happy building

Hey and Hello, I am new here and wanted to introduce myself. My Name is Dominic, live in thea area of Schweinfurt in Germany, I'm 27 years old and have a almost 3-year old Son. A few days ago I was searching for a birthday present for my sons 3rd Birthday and I thought about different toys. At some point I came accross Matchbox and Hot Wheels and I was thinking that I could always buy two same cars, one that my son can play with and one that I can collect and sell with a little profit in a few years. Though I've started a little bit of research for some 'unusual' investments and stumbled over LEGO as a, not so bad, possibility. As a Kid I loved to play with L…

I've been a member for a couple of months and I realized I never introduced myself. Better late then never. My name is Jason and I'm live in New Orleans, Louisiana. I recently got back into Lego, when my children were old enough. Like many of you know, it's been a downward spiral into the abyss that is Lego. Growing-up, I was one of five and my family never had much money. Lego was luxury that we rarely received, but always wanted. Now as an adult, it's hard not to buy EVERYTHING that you want and justifying it to my wife by telling her it's for the children[emoji6] I've enjoyed picking up a couple used bulk mainly for the bricks. I wanted my children to start o…

Hey Guys, awsome site. I'm Max (27) from Northern Germany. I own some old and new sw stuff (and old space/sub/bionicle) Currently i'm considering to invest in slave 1 (already owning 1) or the upcoming big ben. Greetings Max

Hi all, Recently got into lego investing and was wondering if anyone had any specific threads that would be essential reading for investors based in uk. As it seems like there is a lot of differences when comparing us / canada prices to UK. I've already read a lot of the various theme threads and trying to research a lot until I go and make my first real investment. Regards

So I just started using this app this morning, and I havent been able to reply to anything in any threads. I have already made a post requesting for help, but it didn't work. I was told that I need to make 3 topics to be able to reply, which I did, and it still won't work. Any help from the admins would be greatly appreciated[emoji4] Thanks much This is what I get when I visit my profile on Google Chrome

Hi Everyone, My name is Rick and I am from London in the UK. I have firmly come out of my dark ages and started a YouTube Channel and Bricklink Store. I have been investing in LEGO for about a year and enjoy the "hobby" very much. Just this week I purchased lots of new 2016 sets included the Summer LEGO Friends wave for my wife who also loves LEGO to play with my daughter and I have just built the Series 8 LEGO Mixels. I even just done videos of the MCFD tribe and Pyrratz tribe on my YouTube channel UK BRiCKS ! Anyway, just wanted to say hi to fellow AFOL's from around the world. Look forward to getting to know you and exchanging messages! Have a bric…

Hello all I just wanted to write a quick post and introduce myself. My name is Ægir, born and raised in Iceland but currently living in Norway and Spain but mostly Spain. Like all of us, I used to play around with Lego all my childhood but then I lost contact with it as I grew up. I´m was very much a comic book geek as well but that faded out later. Now that I am 37 years old I want to reconnect with some of my interests that I had when I was younger. When it comes to Lego it will be in a different form and mostly for investing purposes. I am not looking for a quick buck and will be investing for long-term gains and will take my time to get to know how this all works…
