I just convinced myself that I was going to grow up and collect big boy things like stocks and bonds. I can't go back to Lego now!!! Or can I....

Well... that 1989 set you wanted for $120 is now worth $250 (opened).
So in 27 years, the value has more than doubled.
What's your return on your stocks and bonds been thus far?

Well, in 1989 I was 6 years old putting that lego set together.

That said, I would hope I would be getting a 100% return after 27 years via the stock market.


So what I'm hearing is...I need to diversify into Legos.

I always liked the Lego Pirate ships but could never afford them when I was a kid.

When I was a kid my choices were city or space.

No, stupid, buy waffles. Buy WAFFLES!

Only manly men deserve these things. Children can go build themselves some lego Elves shit.

WHY DO I WANT THIS SO BAD?!!??!

A couple years back, they apparently had a Pirates of the Caribbean theme with two huge pirate ship sets. I would masturbate to that...

 

[Sonikku]

Yeah, I got the Black Pearl when it was on clearance for $50. I had a picture of it on image shack but it looks like they deleted all my uploads. (bastards)

looking at my gmail receipts, I bought a Lego Death Star in 2007 for $150. I probably sold it for $250-$300.


it's worth $500++ now

:*(

We're excited to announce new LEGO Minifigures The Disney Series!

Available starting May 2016!

so if I buy a whole set and put it in a vault, when I open up the vault in 50 years these things are going to be worth a fortune right?

There is no scale sufficiently large enough to measure my hatred for any and all Lego knockoffs.

There is a website for Lego investing: www.brickpicker.com You can enter the sets you have and it will give you investment growth numbers using the data it collects on average sale prices on ebay. There's also a good forum there where members talk about Lego investment strategies.

I missed out when I was a kid but I got it when it got re-released in 2002 as 10040. I wish Lego would re-release old sets more, but I don't think they have the molds for some of those old parts. The set I wish I got when I was a kid were one of the monorails. I still dream that they re-release a monorail so I can buy half a mile of track and have it go through my house.

i should have never clicked on this thread. nef you all.

Because it's awesome? It's a foot and a half tall LEGO pirate ship for the love of Ross.

 

[waffleironhead]

Really wanted the pirate ship, ended up with the fire ship. 4020

Op, best way is to buy off of craigslist. I often see people selling collections for cheap. You may need to pay out $200-300, but that can often be 1/4 or less of msrp. Also keep an eye on target clearance endcaps. I just bought 2 lego minecraft 21118 for $25 each.

I spent a good hour on the brickvesting site before deciding I would rather just buy dividend stocks vs dealing with the hassle of storing legos and setting up eBay auctions. Still, it's very tempting...maybe if I didn't already have a few hustles going on...

Really wanted the black seas barracuda. (or even the Skulls Eye Schooner) Ended up with the Renegade Runner. It was the poor kids pirate ship.

black seas barracuda!!! Gotta live vicariously through the internet

Man, if I had the BSB I would so totally put it together while watching the Goonies and drinking Ecto Cooler on a Saturday morning... Something like bliss could potentially result.
