Introduce Yourself & New Member FAQs

Hello everyone! I'm a Lego fan from Germany and together with my wife I am building a Lego City with lots of LEDs and lighting. I rediscovered my passion two years ago through the Lego expert sets and since then our city grew step by step. By joining this forum I hope to connect with like-minded people for sharing and exchanging ideas.

New guy here from So. Cal. Looking forward to learning some new things from the boardmembers.

There are new boxes of Venice and more, are they interested to collect them for later?

Just stumbled upon this site from a link on "The Plastic Brick" website. Lego's are a great hobby and I love to read up and post information about them as well! Hope to find and learn great things in time! Thanks!!

I found this site from chatting with the creator of Brickpicker.com himself on Groovebricks.com. I like drawing Lego things, making models that can be wicked...or wierd, or just make stopmotion films with them. LEGO IS A GREAT HOBBY...THNX

Logs me out when i click on prices and arrive at prices page. I click log in and arrive back at home again then the cycle continues. help?

Well hello there, Found this site in reference on "the brick show" just joined today and added a few of my sets already. When I have them in front of me I will add more. I am really a collector vs an invester. I open and build all my sets some I break down for parts I have accually never sold any of my sets. By profession I am a photographer [www.sixxshooter.com] I do a lot of Lego photography and it's available on my site in the gallery. I have yet to dive into the forums but I thought I would start with an intro. When I get home I will post up some shots I have done with Lego. Cheers.

New member here just saying hi to all the memebers.

I have the following Lego to sell. All loose I'm afraid, but does have all the instructions. Any idea how much I should be asking? Someone said £100, but have put on Gumtree & have only been offered £50 so & have been let down twice by people saying they're coming & not turning up. Any advice would be gratefully received. Many thanks.

Did there used to be a pricing guide on this website? I have a few Technic sets from the 90's I wanted to look up.

Hello. I come from Hong Kong.

Hello, I am Steve from Nebraska and have been re-introduced to Lego after being in dark ages since probably 13 years old( a long time ago:) ) My son was 4 when he got a Pro Koon Starfighter and I couldn't believe that Lego now made Star Wars sets, I had no idea who the heck Plo Koon even was. Now we are amassing quite the inventory and while I have done well flipping Lego on Ebay from lots, I have just started to get into collecting new, sealed sets for investing, or possibly opening one day if I am so tempted. I am very excited about this site as I have always tried to keep my own database, but it was WAY too time consuming, to thank you guys for creating this. …

I'm new to this i'm looking forward to checking this site out. Jason

Hey from lousisana

Just found this site after a newspaper article. I am looking forward to learning more about this site. I have been buying and selling Lego's about 12 years now. My current inventory is down to around 300 new sets including the 32 sets I bought the day after Christmas.. This past fall I purchased 100 used sets with instructions and boxes from an estate sell. All the sets are from the mid to late 80's. I am in the process of building each set to make sure they are complete. Most sets are Star Wars.

Just joined the other day, so I thought that I'd say hello. I've got the same story to tell as most of you. When my son started to be bought Duplo and then Lego a few years ago, I was taken back to my own childhood, and bought him more than I really should've done. Idle hours spent on Ebay made me realise that I wasn't the only little boy trapped inside a 40 year-old body, and I end up here via BrickLink. I bought a few big sets about 18 months ago with a vague idea that they would pay for my new hobby, not really thinking about which ones to buy, just remembering that as a child I never got the big police station or the Technic Car Chassis. I don't think of myself a…

Great to be apart of a community that doesn't think it's crazy that a full grown man plays with toys!

Hi from London . I'm a big Lego fan looking to grow my collection. Any help on what sets to buy would be great. Thanks.

Heya, newbie LEGO investor from Germany here. The idea of joining the investment bandwagon came to me while I was searching for specific LEGO Ninjago sets for my kids, which made realise that some of my older sets have appreciated significantly and are hard to come by. I invested about 10k, primarily in themes I feel comfortable with (SW, HP, MC, Ninjago, Ideas, Icons, Seasonals). I shy away from Marvel/DC (cause I've got no clue about these topics) and Speed Champions (seem way overhoarded to me). I've also watched tons of investment videos, and while not all of them are bad, I still haven't found a channel I really feel fully comfortable with. I…

Just joined. I'm a Senior and have used played and enjoyed Legos since 1970. I finally sent all of them including instructions to my two grandsons whom love them as much as I do. Their ages are 7 and 9. I'm known as the Lego Master. I still have the first or one of the first Tecnic sets, the one that was a yellow float plane. When downsizing I sent them 200 lbs of legos via UPS. They loved the VW bus.

Hi, I like to introduce my self. My name is Jobi and I have a LEGO hobby since my 7 years old son always ask me to help him to construct his LEGO.

Hello to everyone! I am very excited to be on this website. I have been reading a lot of exciting lego products on the forums. I can wait to get started on my LEGO collection once again! When I was 5 years old, for christmas my mom bought the Lego Castle Set 375 and it took us (well actually her - because I feel asleep lol) the whole night to complete. I have the set along with the old Lego Space Station Set in my closet back in my parents house. I ended up boxing those and other sets I had when I was a kid in hopes that one day if I had any kids, they would be able to play with them. I totally forgot I had them. Prior to Christmas, my 3 year old son has been wa…

Hello, Unkar's Thug here, Star Wars and Marvel fan mainly. I make custom minifigures and post them on my Flickr: https://www.flickr.com/people/157144741@N05/ I know this is going to bother some people, but my favorite Star Wars movie is episode 8?

I regined my interest in LEGO in 2009. Then as a buyer and builder of sets. Since then my interest has also included MOCs, and I have had thoughts of buying and selling to support my hobby. I am still on the fence, I looked at costs, storage, shipping, eBay fees (or other fees) and in order to make any significant income it looks like a full-time hobby of buying and selling. This could also be a fun hobby, just not sure where to go with this yet. For the time being I will purchase multiples and either use or save for later to sell or whatever. I hope thes forum will help my fence sitting one way or he other. Andy

Hi everyone! I’m new to the forum but have been a long-time LEGO fan — finally decided to stop lurking and say hi 😊 I started with City sets as a kid, but lately I’ve been really into Technic builds. Just finished the Lamborghini Sian and honestly, I think I stared at the gearbox for an hour after it worked properly My cat tried to steal a wheel mid-build, so that was fun. Aside from LEGO, I’m also getting ready for my school’s homecoming — it’s coming up soon and I’ve been stressing about what to wear. Anyway, excited to be part of this community! Would love to see other people’s builds — especially if you’ve managed to build anything without your cat …
