I've been lurking in the forum for a month or two now trying to absorb as much information as possible. I thought it was time I joined up and started trying to contribute.

Hey all. New here and really amazed at the site. I saw a link to this site from a discussion about insurance of/for Lego collections. So i'm not so much a reseller as a collector. I don't even know if I'm an investor. I have a lot of sets from when I was younger. Late 60's through mid/late 70's. I got back into Lego last year when we were at Costco doing some shopping. They had a Lego set, I think it was from The Lego Batman Movie. Decided to buy it as the cost was decent. I've since watched the movie and as a result bought sets related to the movie. That first set at Costco has, of course, brought back the fun of Lego. I've probably spent more than I shoul…

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?

Hi everyone I've been collecting and re-selling Lego for quite a while (and this forum has been a brilliant source of info so thanks to all the contributors and mods). I wanted to ask for thoughts on the future of the Lego resale market. Specifically whether people think the advent of 3D printing and automation will make reselling defunct. Ie if we move to an economy where people can download the data file and 3D printing at a local store? In that situation I guess Lego would get a fee every time someone downloads the data and 3d prints a set. It would mean no storage costs for Lego, no retired sets and no resale market. Maybe it's a bit prem…

Hey, I am located in Poland. As a kid i always loved lego. Unfortunately back in the early 90' the prices in Poland were crazy so i did not have that many sets ( i think i had on City set and one night castle ) I am already active seller on eBay(selling sth else than lego) and thought that maybe i should expand if i do packing and post office trips every day anyway. I do feel i am a bit late to the game. I am still not decided if i want to make a commitment of reselling lego. I have purchased 4 beatles yellow subs and some Architecture sets recently and i will see how this will go. Cheers.

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.

Hey everyone, I've always loved Legos, both as a collection and sometimes a re-seller; a buddy of mine pointed me to this site and looks amazing! Here's to learning new things and meeting new people! Jim-

Hi my names mike I have been investing and reselling for about 2 years but this is my first message.

New from Us. Need prices on lego sets

Hi all. Found this site when looking for more info on a "second hand" purchase. Just what I need to fuel my passion for Lego. I am from Johannesburg, South Africa. Have started collecting since end of 2016. My preference is Star Wars, Technic, Creator and MiniFigs. I also enjoy some of the Classic & City sets. Classic allows me and my lad to create our own builds. One day when I am allowed, I'll probably start collecting to build the Winter & Christmas themed Lego sets Till later...

i have full sets immaculate condition and 7 kg of bricks for sale thank you

Hello, I have 20 or so boxes of unopened Ninjago spinjitzu starter sets Jay vs. Frakjaw (discontinued by manufacturer) each box has 8 individual unopened sets. Item number on the BOX is#465482, product #2257. I'm trying to figure out the value of each individual set as well as the value of each box (of 8). Any insight would be great. Thank you.

Hello ! I'm new here and to begin, I'm French and I speack very bad english so sorry^^. My husband is a fan of Lego and I become too a fan ! I work in the finance so when I see different price, I directly see the potential profit. Since one month, I buy some set in promotion and online. I realize my first sale last week (buy 45€ and sold 70€). I watch a video on this site and I discover a new world ! I want to learn more about this Lego and I think I can find this here. I just need to improve my english

Hey guys! I am a college student conducting a marketing research project about LEGO products. I thought it a good idea to try and figure out what drives people to collect these products. I would appreciate any input. Even the smallest comment could help drastically. Thanks

Hi New here, found the site by chance. I have always been a massive Lego fan, and when an old girlfriend bought a set for fun as a present, it re-kindled my passion :-) Now many years on, and with my own kids, i have been helping my daughter collect the old Harry potter sets. As i live in Denmark now, and Lego is in everyone blood here, i have been toying with the idea of getting sets for investment purposes. I have the opportunity to buy a 10179 millenium flacon. It is BNIB, with what looks like slight crease on the box. The seller wants $1000 US for it (the danish equivalent anyway). Is this an ok deal? I have read that the value of this has been decreasing, i assu…

Finally registered, been lurking for a while. Have a spare room filing up nicely with mainly large hard to find sets. Looking forward to what 2018 brings..

Thanks to "The_Collector" for helping me see the light with this forum and other sites to find deals. My main intent for now is to expand my personal collection since now that I can actually afford larger sets and feed my Lego addiction. As for possibly reselling, we'll see how things go. This site and others have opened my eyes to a whole new world. (cue Aladdin music)

Hi everybody, I am a big fan of danish bricks since my childhood and also a fan of star wars (especially 1st trilogy : I mean the classic ones especially episodes 4 and 5) Thank you for reading ! I live in Paris area, France Furohon

Hi everyone, I'm new to Brickpicker and have been enlightened by all of the insightful feedback on collecting and local discounts! I have been AFOL my whole life and have really gotten back into it of late with my three kids who can't get enough Lego! I am interested in buying Lego to continue to build with my kids but also for investments. Looking forward to contributing to the forum and continuing to learn from all of you.

Newbie here from South Australia. I loved Lego as a kid growing up in the 80s. Mostly City and Castle and still have some of these, currently in storage whilst we build a new house. I received my late uncle's 60s Town set (810) in the 90s most of the pieces are mising, broken or damaged except for the following Thanks for looking

Hi all, I'm from Canada and I am a LEGO brick fan for over 30 years. For the last few weeks, I've been reading a lot on everything about LEGO squaring my brain. I find it very interesting all the information i found on this site and hope to learn more and share some.

Hi guys, I stumbled across this website just recently and can't get off it. I had been sold on the idea of investing in Lego long ago but never really did anything about it. Since reading some of the articles and content, I am going to give it a go. My dream isn't to make millions but rather to finance my Lego Star Wars addiction by buying a few sets per month to squirrel away until they become profitable. I was wondering if anyone else invests for this purpose and how they have found the experience?
