Hello everyone, I have been a member for a few months now, just mostly reading posts, and playing in the piles of info here. I guess its time to introduce myself. My name is Brad aka Studville and I have enjoyed lego for decades now. Now im all grown up with lego loving kids of my own and much deeper pockets for plastic playsets. My niche is bulk lots. We find em, buy em, and sort em after dinner. We try to ressurect them back to as close to 100% as possible, then put em up for sale, maybe after playing with them for a bit. All in all its a fun hobby that hopefully teaches them some business skills. --Studville

Hi everyone

Hi fellow Lego enthusiasts! My name is Travis I'm from Western Australia and I have played with Lego since I was 2, both my kids play with Lego even my dog plays with Lego..

Im also working on an escalator (which is proving difficult) All of my mocs use the power function motors and I'm trying to find out if anyone has been able to use the mindstorm ev3…

Hey everyone. Long time lurker, first time poster. Just wanted to drop in and say hi. Just started getting into the Lego collecting/investing but have been into Legos in general for a long time. Never really saw Legos as being an investment option but stumbled along an article awhile ago that then pointed me to this site and have been hooked ever since. Hope to meet and get to know more people in this community and learning more about the investing side of things.

i'm a lego lover living in Macau, China´s Special Administrative Region I´d like to hear from Macau people about the best best places to buy Lego in town...

Hello and I'm from a little city in south Sweden called Malmo. Oh yeah, I also love Lego Architecture

I just now visited this site while trying to price a set I want to sell. Trouble is, I don't have the box for the set. I need another column in the price guide for people like me who threw out the box after building the set (who knew?). I build furnished buildings. Therefore I am out of room to display sets that aren't buildings, like R2D2, Grand Carousel, Eiffel Tower, etc. BUT - no boxes, so I can't get a reasonable price from looking at the guide. Any calculation I can do?

instead of having tons of new topics (one of each new member) I thought about having one specifically for my low representation region/continent (also because I'd like to know who else is down here in the South) now about myself: * male * born 1974 * father of two daugthers * knew Lego when I was a kid: at xmas we (two boys and a girl) would get a classic space (remember the rocket base and a ship) or medieval set (castle and such), during the year possibly smaller sets with couple minifigs and small build item * daugthers were born and a few years ago bought some random Star Wars sets: ARC Starfigther and Imperial V-Wing (as a gift for them …

Been a lurker here for the last year or so since I rediscovered my love for Lego. My wife got me the 75015 Droid Tank out of the blue one day, and it was sitting in its box collecting dust on my bookshelf. I looked at it one day thought might as well build it. Well now almost $4k later here I am!

Hello everyone. I initially came across this site about a year ago as I started diving deeper into Lego. Now I'm here to get advice on Lego as investments. It's Double VIP Points as I post this, and it's a good time to stock up on some sets, and in fact I've already purchased a few. I'm hoping to learn from the pros, and eventually share what I learn. Like most of you, I actually like Lego. I spent years resisting / denying myself, on the outside looking in, but I finally gave in a couple of years ago, and now I find myself helplessly pining for the larger sets. I've already purchased, and plan to hold, some near EOL sets, such as Tower Bridge, Parisi…

Hi my name is Mike ...and I'm a legoholic

Are there any investors/collectors in from CT?

Hi all just saying hello aim old enought to no better but still don't. iam a collector rarther than a seller as can't bring my self to part with the hundreds of tiny coloured bricks I got back into lego after my wife had mentioned that they had a team building day at work :-) then both my sons had said how much they still collect and build lego. I looked at it as back in the day when a family sat down at dining with a jigsaw. My thoughts are what better time spent as a family building A 3D jigsaw eg a LEGO set built into model. Now addicted to minifiguers and making display case's from ikia picture frames with tile backing to fit minifigure base's to. A questi…

Hi there. Long time lurker, first time poster. I picked up a few sets back in 2013 thanks to this site, but never kept up with it. Recently some friends said they were doing Lego investing and got me back into this. I found out my 2013 buys have appreciated quite nicely and I'm jumping in to start picking up more stuff. I'm also a huge Star Wars fan, so most of my stuff is from that series, but I'm also a Lego fan in general, so I'm always looking for the next cool set. Looking forward to our next great find!

Hello All, I ran into this site awhile back when doing some research on Legos for my son. Long and the short, he was really wanting the latest Star Destroyer that came out, but when we got around to Christmas shopping, it was sold out. Tried to find it everywhere, but was not successful. However, I did run across this site, which was rather interesting. The night before I found this site, my wife showed me that infamous article about Legos being worth more than gold, and we had a good chuckle. Then, while searching, I found this site, and saw the Lego investing was quite a serious bit of business. As someone who works regularly with securities investments and a…

hello brickpicker member .. i'm just joined to the site my name is ahmed am working at lego middle east hope all is good

Hello!! I'm a new member from Portugal and I'm a long time Lego fan. I'm 35 years old and have a few Lego sets since I was around 5 years old. A few years ago me and my wife rediscovered the happiness of building and playing with Lego's when we were almost 30 years old! This is the beauty about Lego. You play when your a child, you play while growing up and when your a father/mother it all starts again! looking forward to learn. Bit more about this Lego world and all it has to offer. All the best!!!

After getting bored with comics and MTG, and with the kid old enough to appreciate it, I'm diving into Lego! Completed my first few BrinkLink buys, and looking forward to building the SDCC batmobile! Any other Vancouver Islanders here?
