Hi everyone.  My name is Daniel.  I don't consider myself a LEGO collector; however, I started buying LEGO sets again two years back since I had a son and was thinking of being able to spend time playing LEGO with my son.  Just joined BrickPicker to learn more to pick the next set to buy so I can buy it before the set's price increases (and cost me more money to buy).  As far as making money off LEGO sets, not really my goal, but if it can be done, then that's even better

 

Anyway, just want to say hi to everyone.  Hope to learn from you guys.

Welcome to the site. This is an awesome site with lots of knowledgable and friendly people.

Hello and welcome!

Welcome to BP

Hi there.  I started out just buying to build and give to my children to play with immediately.  Then I started buying sets now, to give to them in future (to save money on future prices).  Now, I've lost control and am buying purely to sell on later.  Hopefully, you have more discipline and/or money than me!

Welcome the site!!

Welcome!

I don't know about you, but sometimes I think of having children to justify all my legos to people. lol

Welcome to Brickpicker.

Welcome to BrickPicker. If you want to see more about what people are predicting is going to be retired based on clearance in their area, go to http://community.brickpicker.com/topic/4008-retiring-soon-update-thread/page-3#entry129490 as well as http://community.brickpicker.com/topic/4039-official-target-july-clearance-thread/page-8#entry129627 to see what people have found at their Targets on clearance.

I'll also just give you a friendly reminder that every year, Target, Walmart, as well as several other major retailers have a Summer Clearance of LEGO's, as well as a After-Holidays Clearance, which includes LEGO bricks. Summer clearance is just starting, and we mainly have sets around 15% off to 25%, though a few members have been able to find sets that were on steeper discounts, including myself, with 50%.

Hello Daniel! Welcome. You will find a great group of people that are willing to answer all your questions. Very knowledgeable group and I'm so glad I found this site!

Hey man welcome!

Welcome to the forums!

Hi Daniel! If you are looking for a good start on some interesting information about expected price increases, you should check out the Blogs and Reviews on the site. I wish you good luck as you venture into the Lego hobby (just don't get too addicted ) Have fun!

Sorry for the double post, can't edit my old one for some reason. Anyway, you might also be interested in this thread: http://community.brickpicker.com/topic/4008-retiring-soon-update-thread/#entry122752 since you said you are partly here to know when sets are retiring so you can stock up. Happy shopping!

Welcome to the family!  

Thank you all
