Hello! I just heard about LEGO investing from a friend and I have decided to throw my hat into the arena. In the last week or two, I have purchased a few sets: 10197 - Fire Brigade x 2 (got at a discount on them) 9476 - The Orc Forge x 1 (I think mistakenly put on sale at Target near me) 5635 - Big City Zoo x 2 (I actually had these in my attic... no clue where I got them) 4526 - Batman x 4 (These were cheap and I figured people would want them since TDKR comes out tonight) 10217 - Diagon Alley x 1 (I got it for slightly cheaper than retail - I am looking for more of these at reasonable prices as I see it being a good investment). Nice to meet you all and …

Hello and welcome to Brickpicker.

Hi guys, its kinda funny how I found this place, I found my old boxes of Lego stuff, and i'm like HOLY SHII how much is it worth, then, I found this and I gotta say, i'm surprised how much the stuff has gone up O.o. anyways i'm not sure if I should sell or not, but nice site guys!

First if all thanks for such a great site. I have my boys (ages 4 and 6) to thank for getting me into Lego a few years back. It's an addicting hobby as we all know! I've decided to start a little investment project and found this forum from "The Brickshow". The hard part is wanting to build every set I purchase. I guess I have to resort to buying two or more of everything for now on, huh? Can't wait to absorb as much info as I can. Thanks again for this site and all the work that goes into it. --Brandon

Hello Admin of this board, I am so great i found this board and it is really help me to understand the value of Lego set. May i suggest if this site or forum can be use in Andriod or Iphone(apps store)? This will give addition benefit to those who always on the run or checking department store for price checking. Thanks you so much admin

Hi guys, I'm from England, only just stumbled upon this community when looking at collector's edition millenium falcon models! It's a fantastic idea, so I'm going to give it a go; it might be more reliable than trusting the banks! Any tips for a noob would be appreciated; which lines are usually safe investments (I would have guessed the branded lines, please correct me if I'm wrong before I end up with a house full of it!), when and where to buy, etc. Thanks!!

Hello All! I love the site! An AFoL here, My wife and I have been collecting for about a year and half. We ran across a LEGO store on our honeymoon with a display of the Medieval Market Village and we were hooked. This site looks like a great way to keep track of our unopened LEGO sets.

Glad to have found this site! I've been an unintentional lego investor over the years. I bought all the space sets back in 2004 along with a bunch of technics sets. I only built the Mars Rover & Space Shuttle before I had to make a sudden move. Everything else has been sitting around, unopened, in storage for the past few years. I found this site when I was checking out what the Lunar Lander was worth before opening it. Based on the average sales price I think I'll put it back in storage and let it hang out for a while. The articles are great and the features are awesome. My fiancee will kill me but I have the Tower Bridge and a few other sets on there way eve…

It's so great to find such an up-to-date, reliable and informative website. I think I just found my new hangout!

Hi all, I'm from Houston and I own 150 sets for a total of 75k pieces. Whew! That feels better.

Probably not... To all INvestors and COLlectors within the BRICKPICKER community I say a big "HELLO" from South Africa. I discovered this site on one of my searches, and have really enjoyed what I see and read thus far. I'm very much an AFOL who has wandered about the 'dark ages' for far too long. I related and agreed wholeheartedly with timinchicago's article. A young son (9 weeks old) has stirred my inner strengths and desires to once more BuldIT! Plus, it gives an excellent opportunity to invest both time and money into an area of my childhood which I should never have let slip by so easily. Presently, the awakening I experience is more like a mad/crazy/posse…

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

I realize I've been on this website for a short while, commenting on everything that updates and trying to be as involved in discussions as possible. However, I have never let anyone really know who this TedZeppelin guy is that's clogging up all the forums with overly enthusiastic comments. Let's start out with the more obvious stuff: my name is Teddy, and I like Led Zeppelin. Surprised? Anyway, as the title of this post denotes, I am from Massachusetts, and I live right on the border of Connecticut. As a result, I have been lucky enough to visit the LEGO offices in Enfield, and I was even able to attend a fire sale (all sets are like 90% off and there's a crap ton of …

Hey from lousisana

New member here just saying hi to all the memebers.

I'm new here and so far feel welcomed. I hope to keep enjoying this website and its members.

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.

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
