Introduce Yourself & New Member FAQs

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.

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

like most of us, i grew up with lego and now that i have a kid i find myself buying legos on sale. i tell my wife they are for him but i think she knows better. it may be a few years before he is old enough but i am very pleased to see that if i buy two of each set, i can give one to him and in 5 years sell the other to pay for it! i look forward to participating in this site for years to come. it is very interesting to see how popular my favorite toy is

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.

Hello Everyone, I'm new to the whole Lego collecting scene, but I've been a collector of various items through my life (hockey cards, transformers, playing cards, anime figures, vinyl toys etc.). I've started to become more intrigued with the idea of collecting Lego when I saw how much sets like the Star Wars UCS 10179 Millennium Falcon and the Modular Building 10182 Cafe Corner were going for! I can definitely see the viability and future growth of Lego investment, as long as they bring out great collectible sets like the Star Wars UCS and ensure that discontinued sets, STAY discountinued. This site is a great resource of information and I definitely look forward…

HI, I'm writing from Italy ; used to play with Lego a lot and I'm back now aged more than 30. Subscribed almost 3 months ago ; read and learned a lot from you guys. Nice forum , found lots of interesting topics. Fabrizio

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…

I'm Roberto from Italy, I've played with LEGO since I was a kid, now I'm interest in the value of it. I've a question, have the LEGO packages that I buy in Italy the same value in the future of the american one? maybe a silly question but need to know.

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.

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. :)

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

Hi there, Just stumbled upon this awesome site and registered! Have been a AFOL for a few years now after getting the 10030 set and then started collecting Star Wars. I've recently decided to do a bit more Lego investing and have picked up a few sets. I've also stopped collecting Star Wars and am moving into the LOTR range. Cheers G

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.

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 .

Hey

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…
