Introduce Yourself & New Member FAQs

Hi there BrickPicker community! Relatively new here and thought I'd do a new guy post. I've been a LEGO fan since I was a kid and stupidly tossed a lot of toys (including LEGO sets) years ago during a move due to space constraints. If I had only known what old LEGOS are worth. For that point I could just be using them to build my eventual expansive automated (using mindstorms) train layouts that I want to build. I'm both an enthusiast and also looking into the selling aspect as well. I'm looking to start small but build a decent business focusing on LEGO products and also collectibles/pop culture/hard to find items. I figure this is definitely a w…

Just wanted to introduce myself. I am Chris and glad to find this forum.

Hello, recently joined the new. New into the Money making part of the brick world but been a lego fan forever. I have about 200 sets, some of which I will be listing for trade once I can make that post and a part store with about 50,000/100,000 parts listed so far. Its nice to have found this community.

Hi everyone, I'm from the east coast, USA. Have bought/played with Lego forever but never realized that there was an entire world devoted to it. Very interested, but very, very overwhelmed with all the information out there. I don't even have any Lego in my possession right now, so it's kind of a personal challenge to see how much I can learn/collect. Looking forward to being here!

Hello everyone, Thought it time to reach out and introduce myself. I just got into LEGO within the last 10 months. It started as a bit of a hobby to pass the time in Greenland. My friend lived next to me in the dorms and he is a huge AFOL. He really peaked my interest when he told me about the value of certain LEGO sets. We'd literally spend hours talking bricks. He showed me pics from brick conventions, his 3rd place winning massive Black Pearl that he made, and all sorts of stuff that I found fascinating. At first, I was just interested in having a fun hobby where I could use my hands and find some peace. Very soon I was enticed by the challenge of using b…

Hello Brickpicker, My name is Arrow, Long time Lego enthusiast, well, It's a love hate relationship, i love the Brand. I hate the ninja like skills they have for hiding below my feet. I am currently overrun with Legos, due to helping clean out a house. Not that that is a bad thing just a greater appreciation for the lego models came when i was going through my 17th complete set and still had 7 tubs to got through. As this post will inevitably need a moderator approval, i shall say "HELLO PERSON OF THE INTERNETS WITH LOCAL AUTHORITY!" And bid this introduction to a close.

Hey all, purplewolf here from Philly... I started selling Lego a few years ago, never really built any until my first daughter was 3 years old, when I started to build with her together. Have been a fan of Lego since then.

touseef here, basically i am graphic designer so used to call my self Touseefdesigner. big fan of lego so that drag me to this website for trading and buying things and nice deals around. well.. nice to be here.

Hi all! The Lego bug bit me last month. I have set a spend limit of $500, as you can see from my brickfolio, I'm close to reaching it I'm buying small, affordable sets. Quantity before quality, low risk low reward. The BP Price Guide is awesome! I like reading the forums and envy our Stateside BP buying Lego sets at US prices and less than RRP at that. More power to BP and keep posting!

Hey everyone, Was looking for a Lego forum and believe I found the right one! I still remember as a kid when I received my first set of Legos... it was an awesome experience! Anyways, I'm looking to buy a Lego product, it's a Clock. I'm not sure if anyone has these or not but need help deciding. Also I can't find the emmet clock anymore... Thanks!

Hi guys, I'm new on here, but I've been selling and collecting Lego sets for ten years. I started with Bogo 50% off purchases at TRUS. Ten years ago I could buy the big expensive sets two at a time and make $200-$500 in a short period of time from two sets. I've noticed in recent years that it is getting harder to make the larger profit margins. I stumbled across this site and had an "Ah Ha" moment. This community is great and judging by how many people are on here, it has contributed to more people learning how to invest and sell Legos. I love the idea of having a place to chat about Legos. I have never analyzed collecting as in depth as some of the articles and discussi…

Hello from Philadelphia. I went from selling sneakers in undergrad to selling comic books for the past two years. I wanted to buy some Harry Potter sets for my desk at work the other week, so I bought some and now I'm here. I'm mostly an online buyer because I live in center city, so I don't have a car to raid all the Target and TRU around. I pieced out 21108 and 76020 this past week and now I'm buying a few more sets that I'm reading about. Current investment is 2 x 79008 and 2 x 76000.

Like the title says, holla from the wet coast! I've been a member of Brickpicker for a little over a year now. I have only really started collecting in that time frame but with the realization of how expensive this hobby can be I've decided to try to offset the cost by trying my hand at little bit of everything, investing, flipping, and bulk lots. I've been doing a lot of trolling on the forums as of late trying to catch up on all the knowledge that has been shared by the veterans. I think some of the biggest things I need to address early on other than buying things as cheap as possible are 1) talk to an accountant to keep my glutious maximus covered 2) get your fee…

Salut a tous nouveau ici surtout pour trouver un acheteur pour tout mes set lego

bonjour a tous , venez voir mon brickfolio!!!

Hi everyone, All the way from Western Australia here, Lego seems bigger than ever these days. I've risen out of a 20 year stint in the dark years (hence the username ), my saving grace was my kid. We started on Duplo but it wasn't reaching the age to play with Lego that I was awoken out of my slumber. I'm a bit scared at what I've spent in just a few months but I could not resist the Modular's and big Star Wars sets. At this stage I'm undecided over whether to build or keep mint in box with some items.

Lovin' this sight! A hello to everybody out there! I'm new to the Lego scene (some would say a NOOB). Been years since I bought a Lego set...A LOT HAS CHANGED! About 2 months ago my nephews asked if I could buy them some Lego Star Wars sets...went to the store....came out hooked and wanting to go back in and buy me a couple sets myself! Waiting for my first purchase to arrive in the mail (Pre Vizsla Mandalorian Fighter Set). Can't wait to add more to my collection!

Hi all, I am new here and have a questions. Is there a place for me to sell my Lego Store credit on here? My son had gotten a lot of Lego sets for Christmas/Birthday/ect over the past year from people and they were not Superhero sets (which is all he cares about!). I returned them to the Lego store and now have a huge credit ($444!) I know I prob wont use up anytime soon. I was hoping to sell it for $400 somewhere, but not sure where is a good place? Thank you! Vanessa

Hello everyone, This is the first topic I have started on brick picker even though I have had a user name for a few months now. Let me start out by saying. Hello, my name is Michael I'm 24 years old and I have always been a fan of Lego. As a child they quickly became my favorite toy to play with. In my teenage years I stopped playing with them but still remembered the great times I had when I was younger. About 5 years ago I started buying sets again just for myself to play around with in my free time . In the last couple years I have become a total addict, Well I live in a small house and even though I have a spare bedroom devoted to Lego ( The Lego room as my wife ca…

A quick hello to all... I've been collecting Lego sets for almost 10 years now. I am also investing on some big sets hoping to sell them when their market value goes up. I love the modulars and the architecture series. I am also a mother to a 9yo boy who loves everything Lego.

Hi All! I'm a total newb here, so sorry if I do anything stupid! My fianc

Hello everyone! My name is Nick, I am from Dallas, Texas. I have been in to Legos as long as I can remember. I collected a lot of sets all the way up through probably middle school, I am 30 now. The closet at my parents house is still full of my old sets, mostly City and Wild West, many in the original boxes. Anything without an original box is in a sealed plastic storage bin. I have a four month old son now and I am excited to get him in to Legos as well, starting with Duplo in a year or so. I have recently started buying a few small sets here and there to build myself. I also bought him the City Coin Bank to get his savings account started …

Hi everyone, Just want to say ***'day and what a great site and forum this site is! I've always liked Lego since I was knee high and have recently gotten back into the hobby in a big way. I've started buying Stars Wars sets and few big technic sets with a view to holding them for a few years and seeing what happens but damn, each time I get a new set the temptation to build is pretty full on! :-) I just want to say that I hope all the AFOL's from the USA appreciate how much better their Lego prices are to we pay over here in Australia. The price differences are depressing to say the least! Looking forwards to sharing experiences and tradin…

Hello, well now it is time to stop lurking and actually speak. I'm a member of this board for more than two years now (since 30 Mar 2012). I always love to read the comments and great articles. It is really awesome how great Ed and his brother rework and update this page. I remember back when I saw this page the first time... milestones away from now! So well I come from Germany and I'm also a Lego Investor. My nickname says all about it, doesn't it I would love to trade with other members here, A few parts of my stock has risen really nice in the US. Maybe I can find some trading partners here! Regards from Germany Marc
