Introduce Yourself & New Member FAQs

Hello, Kevin here. I'm just starting to get into Lego investing and discovered the site through The Brick Show. I actually went to High School and played baseball with Jason from the show and it's been fun watching his reviews. If it's not considered bad form to ask a question right off the bat I'd like to ask an opinion. I have a chance to acquire about 5-10 Minecraft sets from Legoland Florida tomorrow. I previously did this and got a nice return on my investment. However, now, with the recent big sell off on Lego.com and Christmas almost over, I'm concerned the bottom is about to fall out on these sets. I sold my last Minecraft set about a week ago for $135 and now …

Hey everyone, I'm a new guy here. I have been into Legos since I was a child but for some reason I just kinda stopped buying them. Well I have rediscovered them and found that it might be kinda fun to try some investing in some of the more complex sets. Looking forward to digging into the forums.

Hi to everyone. My main interests are trains, truck and mini figs. But please people, the singular of Lego is Lego, the plural is also Lego. There are no Legos! Please.

Like most of you I guess I could be considered an AFOL. At the age of 67 I first discovered Lego in July, 2011. Since then I have become quite addicted to my new hobby. As of this October, I own 32 complete sets that I know of including 15 brand new sets that I have yet to open. My primary passion is acquiring "used" Lego and exploring the "find" to create original sets by first determining what I have acquired and then hunting down the missing pieces to complete a set or sets including acquiring the instructions for each set and when possible finding an original box. So far I have yet to actually build anything except for the 8674-1 - Ferrari F1 Racer 1:8. After my ac…

Hi Guys, I'm new to the site, and find the idea of 'investing' in Lego set to be fascinating. I'm 38 years old and after seeing what many of the sets I had as a child in the late 70's early 80's are selling for now I'm shocked! I hope to learn a lot from all of you, and to have fun too!

Hello to the World! Found BrickPicker a few days ago. Awesome Site, thanks for sharing all this informations! I used to play Lego when i was a child but now i got addicted again (28 years old). Especially love the Star Wars and LOTR stuff. English writing skills could be better, please overlook that. ;-) Cheers Robak

I recently noticed the growing trend of LEGO and decided to take a shot at it. I have been selling other types of toys in ebay ( nick: sw.pt) and after finding this site I went out to ToysrUS and bought 3 building sets. I can understand how this can be addicted and hope to buy a few more sets in the next couple of months.

Hi i stumbled across this site by chance late one night.im so glad i did,there is alot of great information on here.i had to restart my collection after losing the first one i had and seeing all the old sets in the price guide brought back good memories. This site is awesome! thank you

My name is Joseph. I have been using the user name Jaabo (the "aa" pronounce like "a" in apple) on Bricklink and ebay for the last 12 years. I have played with Lego and collected them since 1973 and and never had a "dark ages," unless you count the time when in college I spent my college loan money on Lego as a "dark ages." The main themes I collect are Train & Town and Modular Buildings. I used to collect Pirates and Castle, though I later decided that my collection was getting out of control and decided to sell those off. Part of my hobby includes buying older lots on ebay and trying to complete sets from those lots. I usually then sell the sets I don't want to…

Hi I'm so glad I was told about this site. I've always wanted to systemize my collection and know its value and this site combines both. I'm really looking forward to be a part of this community! best regards -fugle

Hello, I started building Lego 3 Christmases ago when my son got a set and he trouble putting it together. I was hooked ever since

Hi. I'm Tyler from Canada. Lego is awesome. I have 11 original sets in the Castle theme from 93-95. I hope to collect all sets within those years. Attached is a pic of my sets in their boxes. Unfortunately, the box and manual for the Dragon Defender was not taken care of. I will have to rectify that soon.

Not much else to say than hi everyone I guess!

Hello Fellow Brickers! I have been a LEGO builder for the last 20+ years. It wasn't until recently that I starting buying sets to keep unopened. I found this site through a forum on brickset. I have Liked you on FB and spent HOURS last night reading through posts. Quick question: Is there a spot on this website that shows EOL dates as they happen? I know I can go in to each set and find it and I am not looking for speculation of upcoming dates. I would just like a master list that is updated in real time. If I am missing it I apologize. Thanks! John

Wanted to say hello from the Northern Virginia area! I joined the site a couple weeks ago and have been in love with it since. Great website and happy investing to all!

Hi all.

Hi. My name is Paul. Thanks awfully to the Brick Picker team this is an brilliant resource. After spending many hours scratching my head trying to catalogue my lego collection in Excel. I hate formula's, I discovered the beautiful Brickfolio. The only problem I can see is I'm from the UK and use GBP. as my currency. I suppose I could convert what I paid for my Lego sets into US$, but was wondering if I am missing a tool to do this for me, or if there will soon be a tool available. Thanks Again Paul.

If you are also from Windsor, Ontario, then we'll be competing for some of the same sets I did take advantage of TRU Bricktober last Friday because you get 100 bonus airlmiles for spending $100, plus the Vintage Minifig 3 pack and a Halloween bag. Creator sets were on sale so I got the Apple Tree House - I'm hoping they will be EOL soon, and nothing else caught my eye except for a City Public Transport set from 2010 - it has already started showing monthly gains and I expect them to continue to make a nice gain, if not a huge one. Unfortunately of the three remaining sets they had, only one had a decent, untampered with box.

Hi I am eric from Taiwan. I like to collect some stuff. I own a small museum about the owl , most of them are antique. well...I have 4 kids and I keep buying different toys for them. Until I bought lego for them, I notice they love that so much , so I start buying legt in this 2 years. Most of them are Ninjgo series. You know, they are expand a lots of money if you keep buying this and that and I also notice some of the lego price keep going up. So I start thinking if I can do some investment on that. I check the internet for the inoformation and find this website is so helpful. What will be my first invetment lego ? I am not sure and still looking. I am thinking 1…

Hi, I found this site a few weeks ago and I am finally getting around to introducing myself. I am a 29 year old male that has just got back into Lego play/collecting. I enjoy building the new sets I have missed out on in the past 10 years or so. Happy building and good luck in your searching for what you want.

Greetings All, I discovered this site from the Beyond the Brick podcast. I re-discovered my own lego about 2 years ago when i moved into a bigger house. I thought I would have a go a rebuilding the 'castle' that I built when I was a teenager. It used to take me a day... 11 months later I completed it. It looked rubbish. But I said to myself, 'aha, I have a job now I can afford to buy the bricks that are the right color etc.... Onto Ebay and a

Hello to everybody collecting LEGO, I've joined the website and started collecting Lego about a month ago. It's very enjoyable and addictive! Now I regret that I got rid of some of my 80's LEGO when I was a teenager. I bet they would be worth a lot now... Need to go to see the LEGO Discovery Centre in Manchester with my son, I heard it was a great place Marek

I'm a new lego collector, but already hooked! Love the brickfolio feature, I'm addicted to adding to it on a weekly basis now...

Just joined up this week. I didn't even think a site like this existed until I stumbled across it looking for the MSRP of Lego sets. Glad to see I am not alone in the thought of making Lego sets an investment as well as a hobby.
