Reindeer Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 I have bad motor skills, however I still do love LEGO's, and the sets. I mainly like visually looking at LEGO's, and just building basic stuff. I would only keep them for investment purposes, but not to build because it's sorta hard for me. Everyone I know buys sets and uses them, and then when these people get older they sell them. The only problem is that when you open it; value decreases.

justafrog Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Rein, there are definitely people who buy purely or primarily to invest or resell without building, so nothing wrong with the idea if you're not a hardcore builder for any reason.

Guest brickcrazyhouse Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 gf and I buy for collecting/ building. I also separately buy for investing and flipping. She loves the process of the build. I like the sets when they are done, the building not so much. I miss step all the time so I usually prefer for make my own things. As long as you enjoy the time spent with theses toys, no matter what you actually do with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Half the time I think I buy them because I like to take advantage of deals. Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anakinisvader Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Are you playing reindeer games? Is your name Rudolph? Do you work in a team of 7? Is Santa real? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krayzie Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Half the time I think I buy them because I like to take advantage of deals. Lol Yeah, I have the same problem. At least you part the crap out and sell them. My stuff just goes into a pile in the basement. Lego hoarders! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinP Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Most of the time, I buy sets whenever there is a good deal. Most of the time those sets go into my collection. Other times, I buy a set and resell it later without building it. Although it is very hard for me to look at a MISB lego set and not wanting to build it.

Reindeer Posted November 11, 2013 Author Share Posted November 11, 2013 Are you playing reindeer games? Is your name Rudolph? Do you work in a team of 7? Is Santa real? I play caribou games, my name is Clark, I work in a team of 12, and Santa is real -- the Jewish Santa (Howard Stern's grandma). I am more in favor of the caribous.

TheOrcKing Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 I'm just your plain ol' builder so everything I have is for me. Soon as my room is more setup the way I want it, I'll go back to building like mad again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheOrcKing Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Wait, you don't invest? Nope, just not my schtick. I love building too much to part with my bricks. Perhaps later down the road I may do some small things on the side like selling minifigures from sets so that I can just keep the parts but for now I shall continue amassing my own inventory of parts and characters.
