Introduce Yourself & New Member FAQs

Hi my name is flynn, and I'm a AFOL Found this place due to some of the early postings of the new UCS MF set. Was happy to find what looks like an active forum community with great tool integration into other Lego community tools. I'm mostly a Star Wars Lego fan... tho I still have significant Lego assortments from my childhood (The Classic Yellow Castle, numerous Space themes, etc). I mainly collect the Star Wars vehicles.. and the UCS stye sets. Tho I have an affinity for almost any of the Lego vehicles (like the VW Bus). I liked the Simpson's theme, but found I just didn't like having 'playset' only style sets around.. so sold that on. My kids have m…

Hi everybody, Long story short : I'm just anohter AFOL with his childhood collection (some city, space, medieval stuff). I came back to lego a few years ago and now I'm fully committed to big sets like star wars UCS (not older ones that are way too expensive, but new, which are still expensive but... a bit more affordable ) or nice lego Idea sets. I've also built some stuff like Arvo's brothers kaneda's bike and chestburster and some random other stuff from my childhood

Hey there just joined the forum so might aswell make a thread. I will do my best to not be hostile or make low energy posts like this one.

Hello everyone, I'm new to the community. I buy and sell collectibles and recently got involved in the world of LEGO. I was made an offer I just couldn't refuse...roughly 500 complete sets that used to be owned by a young cancer survivor who was ready to sell them and move on. He and his father sold the entire lot to me for what I feel was a good price. Each set was only assembled one time by the youngster and was then put away for safe keeping, unfortunately that did not mean putting them back in bags and back in their original boxes. I have dozens of huge storage bins in my garage loaded pounds and pounds of raw pieces, a few more storage bins with num…

Hello everyone I'm 45 yo and I've started playing lego again for 2 years now. I'm a minifigs fan too, so sometimes I like to create small or medium builds to display them. Here's a set I've just finished called "Weird Science" to display one of my favorites minifigs the Bee and the Man Plant (Plant Man?). You can see other pictures and other stuff here : https://www.flickr.com/photos/rsmbricks/ Hope you like it Happy to be playing Lego again and sharing it with lego fans

Just a quick throw out to collectors on how I've found a very useful way to clean Lego sets. I use a women's panty hose bag and just put them in the washer, on a light wash cycle with minimal detergent on COLD setting. Use minimal detergent with whatever (NOT RECOMMENDED WITH HEAVILY SOILED ITEMS!) and it works wonders!!! BUT, DO NOT put your stickered, labeled, painted pieces in!!! REPEAT!!! DO NOT PUT ANY PIECES IN THAT HAVE STICKERS OR PAINTED BRICKS IN!!!!!! Enjoy!

Hi ! Love this website, keep up the good work. Quick question though: i've entered my first LEGO sets in May 2017 and i've updated my collection since. But there's no change in value, graphs don't update themselves... Am i doing something wrong ? Thanks for keeping me posted !

I wanted to post a few things on here but it's all 'your content will need to be approved by a moderator'

Hello to everyone, very glad to join the forums.

Hi all, My name is Jan van 't Ende, as my nickname gave away. I am from the Netherlands and started trading Lego since December last year. At first I was buying new Lego in the toy shop for my new born son, early 2016, but once doing that i found out that can be done cheaper. That said, i started buying and selling larger used collections (still do) and with the profit of that I do fun things AND buy long term investments. Although I haven't made the smartest moves yet, I am in the plus with the MISB Lego. I found this website thanks to a different forum and hope to become the smarter buyer and in the long run have a great collection for my son, when he wil…

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

Hey everyone - my name is Nick (obviously from the username). I've recently (over the past year) rediscovered my my passion and interest in building LEGO. As a kid growing up in the 90's (early 90's especially), I loved the different LEGO Space themes. I had a huge space base that lived under my bed made of lots of baseplates and my own imagination. I'd build large space ships and have tons of fun. Fast forward to me being an adult, I found a few YouTube channels which do reviews/speedbuilds/MOCs/etc... and that renewed my interest. Then last September, while searching for some computer stuff at Best Buy, I stumbled across the First Order Star Destroyer Polybag, and…

Hi everyone, I'm delighted to have recently discovered Brick Picker and this forum. I'm a mom of two boys who have gotten me interested in Legos to the point that I have started collecting sets myself. I look forward to learning the ropes on here.

Hello all! I would like to introduce myself. I live close by the mall and have seen how much of an investment Lego sets are. It's amazing knowing that there's a website like this which for somebody like me who has limited space but has tons of Lego sets to see what the scoop is. I'm just now building my portfolio but I was wondering out of the current sets available who around here predicts which sets might have the most value in the future. I'm also wondering if anybody is interested in trading for certain sets? I missed some of the awesome themes out there and was curious if anybody has any sealed Indiana Jones or Hobbit/LotR sets they would want to swap for?

Hi! I'm a tween girl that that really likes LEGOs. I've been lurking this forum for a couple weeks now. My LEGO collection is pretty small, but mostly because I don't have the money and my parents aren't keen on buying them. Anyways, I'm really excited to join this community! I really like minifigs

Hey guys and girls. I'm Jack single father of a 3 year old girl that is obsessed with trains. last month i spent 600 dollars on lego train sets which is probably to advance for her but she loves watching them go around. and I my self spent a few hundred on lego technic sets. I guess i joined up to get a little bit wiser about lego purchasing and investing. because it seems like i missed out on some really cool train sets and now i would have to pay over 600 for a set . anyway this is a awesome forum. also checked out a few lego sets i had when i was a child to see what they were worth today for fun not much lol since my mom never spent over $50 NZD for a …

Hi there, just joined. Well, I'm from Germany and doing things with Lego for a long time, but with 13 it was over since my C64 got in my house. I often got some parts during the years and made a good sortation, but didn't found real time for creating something bigger. But now I'm on a new project and I could need some help. Because I stopped at the sets 8862 and 8865, I'm still more a classic Lego user and don't really like the very high number of available parts. I'll stay with my Technic models with parts up to the year 1989, the year I bought my last Lego set as a kid. The most important parts are available till this time, and the sets are ageless. Think abou…

Hello, I'm a new user My first lego was a 733 Hello everyone

Hi. I'm a newbie in the investment world. Have been buying and building Lego's with my 12 year old son for years, but recently became interested in investing as I've seen how some of his sets have gained in value (mostly Star Wars). I only have limited space and funds and have elected to store away a few Star Wars items, Dr. Strange, Volkswagon Beetle, the Beetles Yellow Submarine, the Ghostbuster's Firehouse, and as of today a few Saturn V rockets (Lego Ideas 21309). I plan on holding most about two years, with the exception of the Yellow Submarine which I plan to hold much longer. As for the Saturn V, since they just came out, do you recommend I jump on the ebay ba…

Hey, I'm PowerPete from Germany. As a kid, I loved playing with Lego. Many years have passed without me having much interest in Lego, but somehow my mind changed some months ago. I saw some great sets in a nearby Lego Store and remembered my childhood and the fond memories of Lego. So, I recently bought the bucket wheel exvcavator and built it - 9 hours of great fun, even though I somehow prefer the nopped bricks over the smooth ones. I plan to buy some sets more just for fun and perhaps some as an investment for the future. I still get a rush of enthusiasm when I see sets like the Expert Creator buildings and imagine the endless possibilities of Lego...so I def…

Realized I hadn't posted here yet (registered in 2014) until earlier today. Just a big fan of Lego for almost 30 years, opened a Bricklink store last year and loving buying Lego for the store. It feeds my addiction to buy Lego and earn some money from doing so.
