Introduce Yourself & New Member FAQs

I am new to this site, but have some exciting things coming up for all you "vintage" Lego hunters. I have many sets to post and they are all oringinal LEGO'S in the original boxes!! What fun it will be to look through them. I am going to catalog them first and them post them all at once so you can see all of them and decide if you are interested :-) Looking forward to talking with some of you. Have a great Sunday!!

Hello all, I just joined Brickpicker and so far it looks like a great site. I have been playing with lego's since I was about 10 years old and I will be 45 in 3 weeks. I don't know most of the sets I own, all my lego's are combined, I probably have between 600 and 700 lbs. They are already presorted so once I get them counted I will add the number of each piece I have. I look forward to having a good time on the site and talking to all of you eventually.

I am a new user here, lifelong lego fan and casual collector... My favorite theme has always been Castle, but I really enjoy all of the historical themes... The different houses in the creator series also are a favorite of mine, and a guilty pleasure of course is collecting the new minifigures - even if they are made in China -RJ Kyrix9

Hello from PA, USA! I'm fairly known in the LEGO community (being an active admin on Brickipedia) and am trying to expand my horizons. Anyway, hello!

Hello, I'm from M

hiya, just registered and thought I'd say hi from Wellington , New Zealand. I work at Weta Digital in IT and am a huge Star Wars and Lego fan. Just getting into collecting the Lego sets (will keep a look out for 10019 , 10129 and other collector sets) I like to look at the sets so not a collector for unopened examples I've just built the Super Star Destroyer http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-NCTxTjgbWA And now started to build the Falcon (2nd hand set) (here is the break down video) John

Hi, I've already posted a few things on the Friends forum, and got a warm welcome there, but thought I'd tell more about myself here, in the appropriate place. I'm a collector. We started buying Castle and City Lego when my daughter was very small. My husband immediately became enthusiastic and I started buying Lego for him, the Imperial Flagship and Brickbeards Bounty and some Technic being for him. City theme was disappointing. Once we were putting together the Fire Station, and an actual firefighter came to our door (checking the neighborhood for fire detectors). My daughter excitedly showed him the fire engine we had just assembled. Do you know what he asked?…

The name is Richard Hayes and I'm a 31 year old from North Sheffield and I run Brick Fanatics, I've been a LEGO fan since my youth but I did have a number of dark years but since coming out of my dark age I have become very active on the LEGO scene. You can find me on various sites under the username Bricksan. I am a member of Brickshire & Brickish LUG. I am also the LUG Showcase Co-ordinator for Sheffield & Leeds and LEGO Ambassador for Brickshire Collecting wise you will find me very unique as I don't buy retail sets my collection is limited to the following Exclusives & UCS, CMF and Planet Sets. I never keep boxes and I prefer MOCs to run of the mi…

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

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

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 Everyone - just joined and added all my sets and WOW - it saves me all the work of doing it myself. one amazing site! I will for sure be logging ALOT of hours on here!

Hi everyone! I am Gary! I am so glad to see so many fellow Lego lovers here. It has been my childhood dream to own a Lego set as the price are quite steep back in my country. But now since i am working and earning, i started buying and collecting Lego sets! Dream come true finally!! :)

I'm a friend of Blackjack and dunkers97, I'm into Bionicle, Ninjago, and Star Wars. I'm not an investor but a collector, and in the minority as I'm a teenager.

Hello I am a 33 year old bloke that has just got back into lego, in the last few months i have picked up series 1-9 of the mini series set. I have also just found 2 big boxes of lego from when i was 10 years old in the garage so very happy. Hope to chat to you all soon. Ben

I've been partial to the LEGO brick since a young boy and still have my collection. I recently acquired a plethora of bricks from an antique store (belonged to owner's kids) and made off with the whole collection. After washing for days, I am ready to build! I love architecture, so I like building buildings.

Hey all, wanted to formally introduce myself. I'm an AFOL in the DC metro area who just joined yesterday - site is great so far! I'm more of a collector than investor (none of my sets are in the box) but I appreciate the fandom that comes with tracing the popularity of certain sets as time goes by. I primarily collect the Collectible Minifigures collection (77 out of 144 owned so far), as well as a handful of Architecture sets. Other interests include music, hockey (Capitals fan, for better or worse), food, and design. I'll try not to be a stranger around here. :)

Darth Lego and I were wondering how many teens were on the site, so thats all the topic is about.

Hi all, I want to take the oppertunity to introduce myself due thie post. My name is Raymond, 39 years old, father of 4 (1 son, 3 girls) and a LEGO investor, reseller, builder and huge FAN of the brand. I started a webshop in Holland 5 years ago, in the meanwhile I opened a store on bricklink and became a direct customer at LEGO. Due the fact it's still a hobby I had to close my dutch webshop and my focus is currently on bricklink and in investing sets. Like most of all I invest in the exclusive range but I'm busy with regular sets as well. I noticed that a lot of people are investing in LEGO, and it's good to have a place where we can meet. Fur further …

I just wanted to say hi!! Played Lego since I was 3 .... now I'm 30+ and still playing! mb

Hello, I'm new to the site and am looking forward to getting to know everyone better. Well, now the formalities are out of the way. I'm a fifteen year-old in south eastern Ohio and have been seriously collecting Legos for about five years. I say hickville because I'm a half hour from Wheeling West Virginia. My main focus however is minifigure trading and not so much set collecting. It is a really fun, and I trade with people like dunkers97, whiteboy02, Goblin scribe, IrishGuy66, and Wonton. I have not invested yet, but that is because I can't stand to spend money, another great thing about trading, it's free! Some of my friends like dunkers may try to kill m…

My life with Legos started a long time ago, still own my first sets from the early 80's .

Hi Everyone, I'm a big Lego fan and my son and i have almost 500 sets in different conditions (new, used, built and unknown missing pieces ;-) I would like to know if any of you know what are the top 20 pieces that are most commonly used in sets in the the last 5-10 years. I basically want to buy a bunch of them realizing that i have many missing pieces that need replacements. I know i won't cover all of them but at least i'll use the 80/20 rule to fill many of my missing pieces. Any clue would be highly appreciated. you can email me directly to [email protected] Thanks in advance, Lee

Hi all, I'm a lifelong Lego fan who now has an infant daughter, and decided that it was time to start trying to make some money from my hobbies instead of just spending it. When I was younger I had to get rid of my Lego collection when I moved, and have always regretted it. (I sold over $3000 worth of opened sets for $300 because I didn't have time to sell them in lots.) Since then my wife and I have both purchased sets for our own entertainment, but I finally convinced her to let me try Lego investing this year. I'm a big fan of the Star Wars, Lord of the Rings and Marvel sets, and my wife loves the Castle/Kingdoms (and LoTR also). I'm also gathering the Lego…
