Introduce Yourself & New Member FAQs

Hello! I'm LFoW. I'm an AFOL, builder, minor collector, MFZ player, and recently started investing/flipping LEGO sets for fun and profit. I come from a Kickstarter funded tabletop game by the name of Mobile Frame Zero: Rapid Attack, a game where you command a squad of giant (but small scale) robots built from LEGO! You use them as game pieces in an 11 round tactical scramble across terrain (also made of LEGO) to blow up your enemy and take their stations while defending yours. The game got me back into my LEGO habit. I frequently update a Flickr page showcasing my work, and can be found on here, Toys ****** Bricks forums, as well as the Mobile Frame Hangar foru…

Just stopping in to say hi. Lurked for a bit, and finally made an account. Nice to meet you all/

Hey, I've been playing with legos for 8+ years, I've been collecting for a year, and trading for about four years. I started a city back in november 2012, and I'm almost done with the neighborhood. I have a small civilian population, a large police force, and a medium military force. Most sets that I get I modify, and some I part out. I just started collcting collectable minifigures a few weeks ago and got addicted. I also have a medieval setting, including knights, dragons, and other mystical creatures.I have apporximately(based on brickset) 20,000 pieces, and 600 minifigures, the worth of them is about $1,800 but I only spent about $1,000 on it, getting some from goodwi…

Hi everyone, Just to drop by to say hello to everyone, call me mizu will do. I'm 33 and my first encounter on LEGO was I'm in primary school at age 9, was impressed and love the design by LEGO at that time. While growing up, I'm not really collected much for LEGO....but recently I have bought some on the superheroes theme which I found the design was good and nice. As for now, I feel LEGO did a great job.....and I believe many of the product will be added in to my collection. Hope that can get more information here...and happy collecting to you all. Cheers!

Greetings, all. I'm interested in starting a small collection of Lego kits for investment purposes. Looking forward to learning more!

Hello everyone! Just though I'd introduce myself. My name is Michael and I am currently studying in Iowa. New to the Lego investing scene, but I am an avid researcher and willing to take a chance on things that look promising. I am a huge fan of the Star Wars, Architecture, and Creator sets. Hope I can make some great friends here and have fun with a great hobby that I've grown up with Best regards, Michael

Well howdy everyone. Just getting back to Lego and alternate bricks. My name is George and I am 66 years old. Never too old to enjoy Lego. Figuring out how to build something keeps the mind sharp! Use it or lose it! That includes your mind!I am not a Lego purist but lean heavily towards Lego being my first choice. My area is trains. Been out for several years but can't resist the urge to return. Last couple of years, pared down the collection by selling off things I wish I hadn't but needed to make room for new other model railroad hobby stuff. If I had waited could have sold them for much more. Am surprised to see where Lego prices are going. To buy a set and set it asi…

Hello, I am 23, from Iowa and was a big fan of LEGO when I was younger. Also, a huge fan of Star Wars, so that worked out well. I recently got back into LEGO with the release of the SSD, and subsequent discovery of all the UCS Star Wars sets and their crazy appreciation. My best friend has the Tie Interceptor that his parents bought him when we were 11. I wanted to purchase the Super Star Destroyer, but couldn't bring myself to spend the $400, so I settled for the Imperial Shuttle, which I am building for the second time now. Last fall I purchased the B-Wing when they were giving away the TC-14 with it, but I have thus far left it in the box. Definitely enjoy bui…

Hello everybody, I got back into lego a few years ago after my 'dark ages', found this site a few weeks ago and frankly got hooked - particularly as I already like buying big expensive sets at sale prices, it makes it a lot easier to justify to the wife if I can call it investing Anyway, I look forward to taking part in your community

Been lurking for a while and just thought I'd say hi. Was a humongous fan of Lego as a kid, and just recently got back into it with the LOTR and Monster Fighters sets which are pretty awesome. I am kicking myself now for not getting back into it sooner. I'm a big Indiana Jones and Star Wars fan too, and I hate it I missed so many good sets....

Hello Everybody! I use to play with my brother

Hey everyone! Just introducing myself as I'll probably be using this site and posting in the forum a lot once I get started on this. I've been out of work on disability for a while because of a serious illness, but while I've been recovering I've had a lot of free time and I've been living in my childhood bedroom back at the parents house. I jumped back into one of my old hobbies, comic books, about a year ago, which got me into 1/6th scale statue and toy collecting, but recently my eye for toys has started to focus on something a little smaller: the little lego guys. The reason I was so excited to get back into comic books was because they were a huge part of my …

Hello. My name is Jacob and am new to this site though not new to LEGOs. I've loved them since I was a kid and am now 20 years old. I really like the site and like how I am able to keep up with the latest and greatest news of LEGOs. I really like the Architecture Series and hope to complete the series soon. Awesome site! Jacob

Well, after a few months reading only the forum, here am I. I came back from my dark ages thanjs to my son (sound like a very common story amongst AFOLs). My main interests are classic space, trains (old and new) and techic and various impressive sets from different themes. So my "investments" are from these themes only. I'm using "investment" with quotes, as I'm probably more of the collector type. I started thinking that some of the sets Lego is offering to us these days may be enjoyed by my son when he'll be a little older (he's still busy with Duplos), so I bought them now and did not build them... yet. Then I started bying multiple copies of some of those sets,…

My job sends me across the pond to the UK to work with some companies we purchased a little while back. Its always fun to see how things are done in different countries. Well, luckily this year I got come over during the Olympics and got to see some of the excitement it has brought to the city. I am especially lucky that I was able to come here and finally experience Argos for the first time and grabbed a bunch of Olympic Minifigs for me and Ed. Hopefully I got enough that will allow us to get two full sets or I may have to request to comeback and finish some "work" here

Hello everyone! i'm Zehe! LEGO fan and collector... It has been my childhood DREAM to own LEGO sets, as parent won't buy every single set and the price are not cheap in my country. But it is no-longer a DREAM anymore, as i can buy it myself now. Hahahahaha

Hello everyone, I joined a few weeks ago and have to say I appreciate all the valuable information from this forum, esp. discussions regarding lego investment! I had lego sets when I was young and am now beginning to come back to appreciate the revamped and modernized lines of lego. After a decade of lego hiatus, I bought my first set of 10212 Imperial Shuttle and immediately fall in love with playing /building lego again. I especially appreciate UCS sets and the Creator series (3-in-1). (5765 Transport Truck is my favorite so far). Looking forward to getting to know you all. Go brick!

Hi all, just wanted to drop a note and say hello to all my fellow LEGO investors out there! Love the site, but was wondering if there is anything in the works to price out individual minifigures from sets, not just the collectible ones. I see people selling Star Wars, Super Heroes, etc. all over and would like to get a more accurate gauge of worth for just the one minifig as opposed to the whole set. Is that something in the works for BP?

Hey guys. I've been collecting comics, 1/6th scale statues, and designer/art toys for a while, but I just recently had an epiphany and I'm starting a Lego minifig collection, so I'm here to introduce myself. I already posted a more thorough introduction in the introductions forum, so i'll just be quick here. To get started, I decided to buy a nice well rounded handful of guys. I don

Hi everyone, I just joined a few days ago, and I'm enjoying looking around the site. Lots of good information! Lego was one of my favorite toys as a child, and I still love them. I only recently decided to start buying them again. I've started with the Lord of the Rings, some to build and a few extra to keep mint for resale later. I'm hoping to expand to other themes as I can afford it. Hopefully what I learn here will help me make some extra cash to invest in more Lego! I look forward to getting to know you all. :)

Well my investor story started (or didn't) about 5 years ago when the missus and I took at trip to disney in florida. Of course we spent hours at the lego store and I spent a bunch of time looking at the UCS MF thinking "I really need to get that" unfortunately that trip drained the budget and I was without the MF Fast forward to current time and I look at what those are going for now and i haven't stopped kicking myself yet. But it has lead me to a new investing hobby I'm really enjoying. With a little luck I'll be able to make it profitable and if not, it looks like I'm going to have lots of building to do.

Hello fellow LEGO lovers! Especially you AFOL Geeks! It's good to finally feel at home! My wife and I have two boys that sucked us in to the realm of LEGO, and there's been no turning back since! We sell 'reconditioned' sets to help afford the investment side of the 'business'. It's just one more piece of that investment pie! Lovin' every minute of it! Amazing site, endless useful information, and priceless in-sight from people in the know!

Hi i am 32 years old and I have been collecting lego's for several years, mostly lego city. Recently I have bought almost the complete collection of cars and friends for my kids. I have invested in some sets as well and might do that more in the recent future. I love to build the sets and just finished the london tower bridge. Greetings from the Netherlands
