Any advice appreciated!! Pleases don't suggest yard sale ,as they are VERY good Lego's & Craiglist scares me. Thanks.

I'm new to the forum but not to Lego collecting. Just wanted to say hello to everyone!

Good day all I've been signed up to brickpicker now for 3-4 weeks. Done plenty of reading/research and even made a few posts, but thought it was time I introduced myself. Got back into Lego at the end of last year when I was buying some minecraft sets for my boy. Saw some of the Old Republic Star Wars sets and thought I'm going to spoil myself and buy a few to build and enjoy. Then I started to look at other sets online and started to research lego investing. The information on here is great, and has helped guide me during my first few months of "investing". I'm only ever going to be a small scale investor, with the hope of starting to make alittle money in…

Hey all, Introducing myself as is the custom. So I'm basically wanting to start buying bulk loads of LEGO, sorting through them, cleaning them up and selling the individual sets. I really enjoy sorting and (duh) building so it'll be fun, will hopefully give me a little bit of profit and I wont have tons of LEGO spilling out of every inch of my house (Well, i probably will but its not for me to keep, I will tell my wife). Also i want to buy some new sets and break them down - sell the minifigures and the actual build seperately. Maybe start up a bricklink store - who knows. Looking forward to it! Mike

Hi my name is Raphael and I have 4 boys. We love Lego and all that is LEGO! I wish I had all my lego as a child but now I have an excuse with my boys to splurge and play. My wife already thinks I am going off the deep end! HAHA!

I'm just stopping by to look around to try to dissolve my Lego Bionicle Collection from 2001-2010, almost complete and in neat, tidy and very good condition kept. I have collected them each with their combiner alternative builds, tried to complete their particular Mask collections and even aquired all those special editions, limited editions and accessory tubs. I try to find out what they are worth now, so that I can either trade or sell this. Or I would like to spend the money to buy new Lego Sets which I try now to collect in an extensive Minifigurine collection for/with my little boy. So please be patient with me, I am not really an extraodinary Lego-Fan…

Howdy folks, Newbie here, the missus has being collecting random Lego,s since 2014. Age 56 hehehe... Hope the folks here can assist if there is some issues that crop up. Thank you very much and cheers! Silvre

Hi all, i'm a 37 male AFOL from SG, love to meet more people here

Thought I'd introduce myself. I've been lurking on the website and forum for a couple years now. As a kid, I inherited loads of Classic Space sets from my brother and added some of my own before progressing to Technic sets until 1990. I entered my dark ages for a decade until I picked up a couple of the first Star Wars sets in 1999. After that everything became about cars, houses, weddings and finally children. After being sent away from home for a couple of weeks for work about five years ago, I was staying almost next door to a TRU. Had a few beers, got bored and ended up buying 3221 the big yellow LEGO truck. It snow balled from there really. Every trip away I'd pick u…

Hello there! Just came across this site and how awesome it is! I've been using Brickset all this time but this site certainly has some fascinating analytics! I have imported my Brickset data but am wondering if the two sites will sync with each other or if I have to constantly maintain both DB's? I've tried looking this up in the various FAQ's but that ended up just being a time sync. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

Hi guys :-) just joined the site-mainly collect Star Wars Lego with my son-we got back into Lego 3 months ago after finding 5 or 6 old Star Wars sets in storage we had long forgotten about! We've added nearly 30 more sets since then and have definitely been bitten by the Lego bug :-)

Hi, I'm Lane, I'm 41, and from Jacksonville, FL. I'm pretty new to Lego building. I never got into it as a kid. A couple years ago I helped a friend's son put together a small Star Wars set we got him and enjoyed it. I saw one of the previous Slave I models shortly before it was discontinued and thought it was cool. I looked for it a few times online after that and was surprised how expensive they were. In January after debating the new Slave I set for weeks, I finally pulled the trigger. That was my first real, start to finish Lego build. Since then I've built the new Millenium Falcon and the Imperial Shuttle from Star Wars, I'm in the middle of the VW bus, whi…

Hope to have fun time here, to learn here and give my know how to fellowmembers. Still are looking how this site and forum works. I myself like technic and normal moc and mod's. Like cars, trucks, cranes and so on. I am working on a xxl moc right now, and wil post it here when it is finshed. I then really like to see your comments on it, in positive and negative way. With negative way i mean, your comments how to make some things better, if it should have improvements on it..

I can't find another place to ask this/post this so I figured this is the best spot for it. (Seeing how I'm still new) I started collecting SW sets about a year and a half ago. Have a few UCS and some sets I've liked as a kid ranging from 2003-present. Seeing how I filled 3 6 foot shelves in a matter of 3 weeks I decided to be a lot more picky with the sets I buy. It's come to a point (which I'm sure most of you went through) that I want more than just SW so on the flip side I'm also a big fan of almost everything Marvel. So now looking at grabbing some sets from those series as well (May also start buying the CMF sets) so knowing that now about me my question is a mix co…

Hi everyone from Hertfordshire, UK I've been a collector for a few years now and only just got round to joining this site (shame on me!). Lego is my investment for my retirement....... long live Lego Regards Mr Pogle

My name is Roland and I have a Lego problem! Well, if you ask my wife anyways. I have never considered investing in Lego sets before recently but at 42 I still buy them for myself (and sometimes my kids). My sets are mainly Star Wars. My 7 yo son like pretty much everything so he gets everything but the Star Wars. Of course, his sets are in pieces but that's what 7 year old's are supposed to do. I keep my sets assembled on display in his room so he get's to enjoy them anyways (I said enjoy, not touch!). And who am I kidding, they will be his (and his 4 yo sister's) one day anyways. The 40 or so sets and growing in "our" collection is not something I have even …

Hello, I just thought I would take a quick minute to introduce myself. My name is James, I currently live in HI and just recently got back into Lego's after many years removed from my youth. My spark was reignited when I starting buying Duplo sets for my now 3 year old daughter. It started in November when I bought both the Holiday Toy Shop and Santa's Work Shop. I really enjoyed putting those two sets together and felt a void when I packed them away until next Christmas. I then went out and bought a couple of the Creator 3 in 1 sets and put those together and set them on a shelf. My wife was not happy that I put those "Mini Modulars" in front of some pictures a…

Hi all, I'm 33 years old and I'm a Lego passionate from 28 years when I received my first lego set. I have only 2 lego set, but I love Lego!

Hi guys, my name is Andrea,38, from Italy, a mechanical engineer for plastic household appliance. I come back to buy lego stuff after 25 years from last set due to a friend who opened a lego store,not official , and reawaken my brick passion, and at the same time dry out my wallet

Hi All, Newbie here. Returned to Lego after 20 years in the dark thanks to a 3 year old son. Seem to have started a small investment collection over recent weeks. Keeping it reasonably sensible with interesting kits that are on sale and that I think will appreciate. And for all if they don't appreciate much then there will be one for me and him to build and a few to sell back at RRP If he knew what was in the loft he'd be too excited! Gutted to remember after talking to my Mum that I sold my huge Lego collection when I was about 16 to fund computer games and mountain bike parts

What made you interested in brickpicker.com? Are you here to learn more about bricks? Investing? What?

Hi everyone from a dad in sunny southern California. I'm here because my two toddlers are currently going through the duplo to Lego transition. Since I was a carpet crawler, these bricks have become even more costly. I'm going to do research for good values and great ways to get them in l Legos. I also want to put them in the Lego robot league of FIRST.

Hi All! I just started getting into this after finding some Carbon Freezing Chamber sets at Walmart a week before they were released and figured out I could make some money and enjoy collecting at the same time. Then, I sold a bricklinked USC Falcon on eBay, which really put me in the black. Now, I'm searching for deals and buying up sets! Meanwhile, I'll open up a set every now and then and build for the pure enjoyment of it. Building LEGO was my favorite pastime as a kid. But I had to make my OWN X-Wing. When they released Star Wars LEGO sets, I thought... if only these existed, I would have had a complete childhood... My ultimate goal as a collect…
