🎉 Happy New Year — BrickPicker v2.0 is officially underway (Coming soon 2026) Happy New Year, everyone! I wanted to kick off 2026 by sharing something I’ve been quietly working toward for a while: BrickPicker is coming back — bigger, better, and built around a new vision. The last few years have been busy with life, but that time also gave me room to step back and rethink what BrickPicker should be… and what would truly make it a no-brainer tool for LEGO resellers. 🚀 The new focus: reseller-first, analytics-firstBrickPicker v2.0 is being rebuilt with one clear goal: Help LEGO resellers make smarter buying and selling decisions.That means the site will be centered around: Deep analytics on current / active sets Tools that help resellers help other resellers A more “stock-style” experience (signals, trends, movers, volume, etc.) More than just a price guide — the kind of data that supports real decisions 📊 300+ data points per set (seriously)One of the biggest upgrades is the data model itself. BrickPicker v2.0 is being designed to provide 300+ data points per set — the kind of market intelligence that helps you answer questions like: Is this set actually moving, or just sitting? Is demand rising or fading over the last 30/90/180 days? Is this trending toward retirement risk? Is this a good buy right now at a certain price? What’s the real spread and profit potential after fees/shipping? This isn’t just “price history” — it’s decision-grade analytics. 🧱 Massive update: Brickfolio is getting a major upgradeA big part of BrickPicker v2.0 is a complete refresh of the Brickfolio experience — built for resellers who want to track inventory like a portfolio. The goal is for Brickfolio to feel more like a LEGO stock dashboard for your inventory: Track performance over time Understand wins/losses and trends at a glance Inventory insights that help you decide what to buy more of, what to stop buying, and what to move (Details coming soon — this is one of the areas I’m most excited about.) What to expect in this forumThis thread (and this forum section) will be the home for BrickPicker v2.0 updates. I’ll start posting: Feature previews Screenshots Data points and dashboards I’m building Beta plans + rollout notes Feedback threads (because I want this shaped by real resellers) Thanks for being part of BrickPicker — I’m excited to bring it back the right way. More updates soon. Jeff Mack

Game Boy, let’s just say that if someone built this as their first Lego set every other Lego set would be a disappointment, it’s that good. Not comparing it to a huge display set like Rivendell but the build and parts usage are amazing.

The new layout blows. Where's my brick folio ???

385 delivery trucks at 5.99 from one store. Bought about 300 at 9.99 and another 100 when 13.99 and 15.99. Few more and can build life size truck. Just in time for the retiring tag to come off along with sleigh and tree.

Holding out for the Peace Prize edition....

Nordstrom has a few LEGO clearances going on. Mona Lisa is $67. Part out is $228 and it has a lot of pearl gold pieces. https://www.nordstrom.com/s/18-art-mona-lisa-31213/8502550

I guess I don't see what everyone else is seeing. My Netscape 2.0 must not load the ads.

With that statement, I'd probably just take any spare change and invest in dividend EFTs like VOO or QQQM and read a book or work on my physical fitness while my accounts grow bigger and bigger. If I was given the option to go back 15 years ago and practice that I would do it without hesitation. I enjoy selling LEGO but it is also a colossal time killer and money sponge.

Arcade Machine, another great affordable set this one was only $34 after CB and came with the Ninjago City GWP. No brick separator and a damaged sticker sheet was not the best beginning but the build is great and lots of fun with some awesome prints as well. If it wasn’t for the Gameboy this would easily be the best set under $60. I hope they do a series of these and we get a Defender set next. Next up I was going to build the Enterprise but still have the D&D Castle set so will probably flip a coin tomorrow.

Never tell a buy to go to a specific site off Amazon , the bots might see that as a way to divert traffic off Amazon . you made your point . You can tell them to Kindly return the item if they are not satisfied

LEGO 42182 Technic NASA Apollo Lunar Roving Vehicle $155.11 -29.5% from $219.99 (retired set)https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CRWHZ2XG?ref_=ppx_hzod_title_dt_b_fed_asin_title_0_0Not its lowest price but close to it

So, to update & expand upon this, Epic Games has started their daily holiday free game countdown something or other thingy. Today's free entry is Blood West, a stylish western first-person shooter worthy to try out for the soundtrack alone.

The craziest LEGO pick up so far. It's like walking to LEGO wonderland

My favorite movie of the year.

Sams Clubs has several sets near or above 40% off retail....some sets I havent seen on sale anywhere

Giftcards.com has Lego cards for 10% off using code NGWLEGO. If you go through Paypal, you can add a 5% back offer for a 1 time use. Rakuten is also offering 2% back. All stack...

It is pretty abnormal for someone to message a seller like this. It shows they are trying to get something out of you. I would hit the no reply required message. Then i would hit button reporting the buyer as being intimidating and the other button to ask amazon to investigate this transaction and only respond to questions related to did the box go to this person's address and do they want to return it. This is not a social media. This is a store. You buy something. If you don't like it or the condition, you return it. you don't start up a convo about the provenance.

Just picked up four at Costco, also saw these.

The advice above about not opening a store is definitely sound, but I'll play a bit of the devil's advocate and just say that I think its a matter of what your goals are. I put most of my parts into storage for now because the time to pull orders was starting to cut into family time and causing stress. Maybe one day I'll bring them back out, but for now, its not worth it. That said, I still have a small inventory that I enjoy adding to and selling. I was booted from Amazon last fall during the "purge" and sold most of my sealed set inventory to some nice members on this forum, so I really enjoy having BL to still be a part of the LEGO market. Perhaps most importantly, the profit I made from my store this past year was enough to cover my personal LEGO purchases over the year, which was the goal from the beginning when I stumbled down this rabbit hole. I'd suggest that if you are really interested, you start small, part out a few sets sets, figure out what organization works for you, keep your prices low to make some sales and attract buyers, and see if you enjoy it or not. Of those two sets, I didn't look at the overall part out values, but the dinosaurs in 75940 aren't highly desirable but at least give you a floor for your value. 43181 has terrible mini figures so maybe not a great one to start with - like 10 sales total across both in the past 6 months. Short version: if you want to have a small hobby to enjoy, go for it. If you want to grow wealth, take @raindog's advice and just invest.

I think if you have to ask, parting-out is not for you. It's not a money making venture (because of time and space involved) and you will always be building "dead" inventory. Good advice proceeded this. It's for those who "really, really, really" enjoy it. Financially speaking, you will come out further ahead with a second job or just putting time into advancing your career. Unless Amazon continues to remove listings, you will never be stuck moving whole sets (although who knows what will happen next). Take any thoughts of making money out of the equation and ask yourself if you would rather play video games, play pickleball, play with your kids/friends, spend time with your wife/girlfriend, or ACTUALLY BUILD LEGO SETS!! If you would rather part out sets and organize then, well, go for it!

Received mine on time.

Looking forward to buy 1 from 1 of you for $15 in November

I went the React Native route. I looked into the benefits of each and because of how this type of site works, it just made more sense and will allow me to get updates out easier. Just a note on the forum. I upgraded it to it's latest version 5.x but with that, some of the old 4.x features that I had built no longer work. I have reached out to the devs and just waiting to see when they may have time to update their apps. The focus is getting the site out over the next few weeks, along with the mobile apps, then I give the forum a bit more attention. I am using the forum as SSO (Single Sign On) and wanted to make sure I didn't release the site, then upgrade the forum and then everything blows up.

Would site moderator get free memberships , or perhaps members with 10+ years ? .. lol

Same but not worried about it. Don't get me wrong, still worried about 100 other Amazon incompetencies but not that one.

Sold a factory sealed case of 3 Stranger Things 40549 BHZ for $300. I have a few more left but will probably hold them until the last season of the spinoff show 🤣

FYI...Death Slice GWP back in stock. Surprised how much these have sold for on ebay.

Must be a mistake. A song from the current year...

Restocks week 52

I think that Lego just needs to do this every n0w and then to prove they still have it.

Sure, Betrayal at Cloud City comes to mind.

There is a FBA reimbursement Re-evaluation option, you can submit with your reciept. I've tried a couple times and seems there is 50/50 chance that Amazon will match the price on the reciept.

seriously, thimblepicker would never do this to us https://www.thimblecollectors.com/

FWIW, here's one suggestion someone made:

WOOT! LEGO Icons The Lord of The Rings: Rivendell Building Set $469.99 6% rakuten and 5% amazon

Received 8 different shipments today. Enough to spark three comments. 1. LEGO is sending Bestseller PAB parts mixed with orders now. I've always had them come separately, no matter bestseller or standard. 2. For those wondering, I received a $200 standard PAB order and was NOT charged a customs fee in the US. 3. Finally, thanks Amazon! Keep up the good work. We love you!

u need to change cut off time in settings

Those gems that they thought were great ideas for expensive BF GWP's

$100 for the shuttle is a good price imo considering the enterprise will likely go on sale for $300 in the next couple years.

4 wm orders delivered today by lasership and they all smell strongly of weed. 2nd time in a week, first time i left the box outside to air out. the bar must be really low out there for drivers. explains their delivery van, i just thought they were big movie buffs

I bought bulk LEGO 9 years ago thinking of doing some part outs for my Bricklink store. The boxes are still in my basement as I have not had time to break the sets, clean, and do the inventory. I can't justify the time needed vs ROI when I have sealed sets to ship out + day job. Also race to the bottom is the name of the game these days for most toy categories anyway

Amazon.com: LEGO Animal Crossing Nook’s Cranny & Rosie's House, Buildable Video Game Toy for Kids, Includes 2 Animal Crossing Toy Figures, Birthday Gift Idea for Girls and Boys Aged 7 and Up, 77050 : Toys & Games 53% off $34.99 Limit 9

I'm coming up on 15 years. About once every 3-5 years I say that I am done and start coasting and selling down stock. I usually am over it in a few months. Second to the last time that I went dark, I missed the Cloud City set . Now, at 65 years old, I have to think about my adult daughter having to clean up my mess if I die so I really need to think seriously about my end game. But the game has been good to me.......

It just depends on the parts. I'll throw you a freebie that someone else passed to me (thanks @Pseudoty😞 Set #75685, Emerald City Wall Art. $160 at LEGO. Part out is $422, but that includes 51 items in 6 lots that they do not have price data for yet. Those usually sell way overpriced for a few months until more sellers get the parts and start a race-to-the-bottom. Also, minifigs are worth about $98-$105. The lion is another $17. These are the types of sets that I look for.

Gazebo GWP drops tonight with $130 spend...plus Rakuten still doing 15%. Who knows, the Micro NINJAGO City Gardens GWP added today might stick around for a double-stack.

BLDP Harbormaster's Office. Went together very smooth; better than most BLDP sets. Will be a nice companion to the Ideas Old Fishing Store.
