Massive hoarding : P But seriously however you want to use them. Building and displaying seems to be their ultimate purpose though, even if you're a small child. Who didn't play with LEGO as a child, build a terrible space ship made out of 2x4s in every different color and then run up to someone an...

The idea of investing in lego brings a smile to my face, to have a hobby that can support itself is just awesome. If I thought I could make a better return than the market on lego, then I'd want to. The biggest problem in my eyes would come from the size/space/storage problem. For example, $10,000 w...

I read the responses to that article. I found myself thinking that the people who said that lego is too expensive have obviously never played with them AND the copies for much time at all. The price difference between lego and the copies is smaller than the quality difference in my opinion. From tha...

That is just great. I love how you can see the whole implied story in the one still scene. Good job.

I would say open them and assemble them. Unless you are a pure investor, the assembly value of enjoying the sets has some value that you could express in a dollar amount. Remember, even opened and complete sets retain a considerable amount of their value. If the difference between Sealed and opened ...

I would agree that Lego is a relatively good value in toys if you consider the possible resale value like you would a car or something else. If you are planning to sell them, I would advise keeping the boxes and instructions safely sealed away. It seems as though the value of a complete set is consi...

I've made 4 lego purchases off ebay. 2 were for bulk lots of 10 and 20 pounds of lego bricks. They were as described, but one was just poured into a cardboard box, and leaking bricks by the time is got to my house. Another was for the older millennium falcon sold by someone who said they were an adu...

I wonder what would happen if LEGO hits the dust. What would the fans do? LOL We had that discussion already, it wasn't pretty. If lego hit the dust there would be some collectors or investors that would buy up the molds etc. and start making them again, I'd invest some cash in a company that did t...

very nice, thanks for the pictures.

I've ordered two larger sets from BN and both arrived in good condition.

Welcome!

Thanks for the info, I think I'll stop by walmart and see what they have.

Pharaoh's Quest Scorpion Pyramid: $55 Harry Potter Burrows: $30 Those are nice finds. The Burrow is a great set, I'm very happy with it at $42, but $30 would've been outstanding. I'm hoping to find the Scorpion Pyramid at a decent discount. The scorpion pyramid is pretty cool. I bought it for $70 a...

how often does TRU do this BOGO sale anyway, is it every few months or something like that? In my experience it really varies. I started noticing BOGO sales last fall BUT this summer they have been every few weeks. I think the amount of them this summer is a reflection of the economy, I had always ...

that ninjago fire temple looks pretty good, but I'm tempted to get a kings castle even though I already have one. Ninjas or Knights? Does anyone know how often B&N adds new lego sets. Do you think there is any chance of them adding the death star or the grand emporium or something like that? I ...

Do you find it is more times without?

More and more all the time, in fact it makes me want to have 2 of everything....

Love it!, makes me hungry though, I think I'll try to make one myself if I can scrounge up the bricks....

Hi, Thank you to the people who put up this website. Like some other users posts I've read, I'm an adult who used to spend lots of time with my lego bricks when I was a kid and then sort of forgot about them for a while until my own children started to become interested. Since then, I've spent a lot...

I thought alamut was a pretty good looking set for the price (50-something) It has a camel, what's not to like. :)
