LEGO Sets Are Better Investments than Stocks, Bonds or Even Gold

[Ultegra134]

Both my brother and I were raised with Lego. Especially my brother, had quite a few old ones, which were scattered around in boxes, missing pieces or left uncompleted. It was till once I cleaned the whole storage, finding many old instruction manuals and rebuilt most of them. Unfortunately (or fortunately), I got older and stopped messing around with them, it's a pity to see them left to their fate.

I'm guessing that a few of them are possibly worth a decent amount of money, especially if they are old and have their instructions. I'd love to rebuild some of them at some point, but I am not living with my parents anymore, so I don't see it happening any time soon.

We might get eager again on collecting those pieces and trying to be complete as much as possible since we know that it could possibly ending up with have some value with those lego sets.

For now if we cant possibly see those stuffs due to various scenarios then lets just move on and thinking up those good old days had been part of our lives even though we cant benefit out from it

but its part of our childhood days without minding about those values or worth but rather the fun that it gives when we are still young.

I just finished cleaning the house. Now the Lego sets are complete again.  Damn kids, I am now taking it to as safer place.

I enjoyed playing it with my kids up until now. Perhaps, because it is not easy to keep in sets/complete is what makes it more valuable. It's not just the oil or the plastic but being good at keeping it.
Then, there are a lot of fakes that had been created, the bigger ones that wrecks the item with just one drop. The original are mostly in small pieces only.
I am just afraid I will be the only one left playing it when this kids grow old with their smartphones and laptops.  Yeah, old toys will be valuable someday.

You better teach your kids then the importance of your sets though, I have some friends that have kids and are avid collectors of statues of pop culture characters and that's what they're saying to me when the time that I get a kid, that I probably should teach them my hobbies so that when we get a shared interest, then I would be assured that I wouldn't worry that my collection would be destroyed. Regarding the topic though, I don't think that it's a good idea to do so because I feel like there's not a lot of people looking for this discontinued LEGO sets unlike stocks and bonds, you have a guaranteed profit.

That is one of the issues with those markets, the liquidity is low as the number of people that are looking for LEGO sets is limited, and most of the time they are going to be looking for the old LEGO sets as they most likely buy every single LEGO set in existence that comes out so as to no depend on someone else to buy it in the future for a high price, so while it could be interesting to do something like that if you already enjoy the hobby of collecting if that is not the case then it is better to not bother with it.

Not sure how I'd achieve that, being 24 years old, with a full time job, six days a week, while also living away from my parent's home. Certainly, there are a few pieces from the late 90s, which are probably worth a decent sum of money, but it requires time and patience to sort all of them out.

I miss those carefree days.
