The BrickPicker website is about LEGO 'investing' and collecting, but it is also about making MONEY from LEGO bricks. The LEGO CUUSOO Program enables the MOC(My Own Creation) Builder to submit their creations to LEGO, so that CUUSOO members can vote on them. Once a creation gets a certain amount of votes, it is then presented to LEGO itself for consideration of becoming an actual set. If it becomes an actual LEGO set, royalties are paid to the creator of the set.
The first CUUSOO creation that sold to the buying public was the 21100 SHINKAI 6500 SUBMARINE. The set was very well done and reminded me of an Ultimate Collector's Series Star Wars set. The set is very rare and it appears whatever listings remain, they are in $130+ range. I bought mine about a year ago for $85, so they have appreciated nicely.
The second CUUSOO set, 21101 HAYABUSA, was released in Japan today. Although not available in the USA and Europe, there are plenty of listings from Japanese EBAY sellers that will ship abroad. 21101 HAYABUSA EBAY LISTINGS... I also look for this set to appreciate nicley in the future.
So keep on making those MOCs and maybe one day you can present one to the CUUSOO membership for approval and get LEGO to make 'your' creation....and make a couple of bucks as an added bonus.
