September 2, 201312 yr I have a problem everything ibuy I build I have ovef a hundred seys and I've built 95% of them and love it just wanting to know if I'm the only one like this...
September 2, 201312 yr Pretty cool sets there Hmm... yes and no. I buy and mostly set aside to build later (just not much time for it now). I don't plan reselling 'cause I like all my sets
September 2, 201312 yr I am a huge collector, builder and can say...I have never sold any sets! I need to buy a basement, once that happens....I will be a building mad-man from what I don't have open yet! I absolutely love this site! Great insight to the world of Lego....
September 2, 201312 yr I don't sell anything I buy. I mostly am a collector then a builder. I open an build only if I have at least two of a set. It's an expensive hobby lol
September 2, 201312 yr I try to stay away form Selling sets I don't already have for that reason - unless I don't want them. First learned this with 5887 dino defense. Had to open it. Now that I have that out of the way, I own several as an investment.
September 2, 201312 yr Author yes I love to build them built the tower of orthanc today its like soothing to me
September 2, 201312 yr Man you got a lot of room to display sets! My wife is barely letting me have my UCS at-st and imperial shuttle on my nightstand lol.
September 2, 201312 yr The only sets we build are the ones I pull from the stash for my kid's birthdays or Christmas. I've got over 500 sets locked away in my basement, and I don't have the urge to build a single one. It's called willpower, and that's why drug dealers never getter hooked on their own supply. I look at my supply as an extension of my savings (which it is), which makes it easier to keep them sealed. I satisfy my urges when the kids get a new set. I separate the pieces, locate them for each step, and apply the decals. My kids do the building. Fun times.
September 2, 201312 yr I also just finished building the Tower of Orthanc today. It is very impressive! I wish I had more room to display everything though. I had to break down my Harry Potter set today to make room
September 2, 201312 yr Author yes my wife buys the majority of my sets especially the real valuable ones . love her love lego. I'm retired why not build them
September 2, 201312 yr yes my wife buys the majority of my sets especially the real valuable ones . love her love lego. I'm retired why not build them You have the life man. lol
September 3, 201312 yr well if you only buy one of each set thats a recipe for disaster. I always buy atleast 2 so you can build one and sell the other.
September 3, 201312 yr We build some and hold some for future sale and part out most. It's always a little more complicated in some ways to sell products that you love - you have to make enough profit or exercise enough willpower to make it work.
