Not a really good felling.
I had two sealed sets, plus one I build and put back in the box and one I parted
out. I got 3 on sale for $125 each and the other from Lego Shop At Home.
I got very very little compared to today's prices.
I am afraid to look at the prices for the original Death Star, had three, the
Statue of Liberty, I had 6, and of course all the other Star Wars sets up to
2010 which I had several of each.
And all the train sets, US and Europe.
I will stop now and go cry somewhere.

Some pictures attached of what I could find.

I sold 95% of my collection at the exact same time to purchase my first car,
including a unopened cloud city and several things of sentimental value that
have become unobtainable.
Best not to think back at the what-ifs and focus on the present and be grateful
for what we have. After all, we all could have loaded up on different assets
at the time and seen even more exponential growth of value. I also think we are
only caretakers of the things we own. The great thing about Lego is it's
longevity, so in a way it's good knowing that the Lego I own now will be
valued and enjoyed by other people in the future.

The regrets are not really overwhelming. I got close to half a million for my
collection and it took over two years. I am very thankful for Bricklink. Since
then I am selling my Simpsons collection and Wizkids Star Trek Attack Wing and
Heroclix. Not nearly as much bad regrets combined not as valuable as Lego; Lego
is really something special.
(Something funny I think, when I was have a room 27' x 26' for my lego
collection the people in the neighborhood would ask me "What is the addition
you are building, a bedroom or media room?" When I said a Lego room they
would look at me like I was crazy and change the subject." Non-Lego fanatics
just do not understand real meaning of Lego in all its different facets.)

minifigures are on sale too) and focus on used and sealed sets. Feel free to

| | Hi,
I had choose a ADP design, but now I see they are all gone and I don't have
anything.
I had ordered (not payed, because that will be later) and never heard of it again.
This is what I see in my order page:
AFOL Designer Program Orders
You won't be charged for you order(s) until it's ready to be shipped.
Once we receive payment, your ADP order(s) will become BrickLink orders and manageable
in Orders Placed.
You ordered 1 designs
Go to your ADP orders
When I follow the link: Go to yuor ADP orders it will go to an error page.
|
This was the first program from years ago.
| | Someone know more about this?
Probably I did something wrong.
Kind regards,
Tim

To manage your recent Designer program order go to lego.com and check your orders

Honestly I think a fake would look better, at least as far as the print is concerned.

Right?! I was going through some 90's figs the other day, and was like, jeez
some of these look bad so bad but I love them
|
This is one I found recently. They can be entertaining.
|
Hey, that's not fair, some people (including figs) just have larger foreheads
then others. I have a larger then normal forehead but then again, maybe that's
why I'm still single

In my mind, he's the forestman that comes up with all the plans. A bigger
forehead is a sign of intelligence.

| | Hello. I've tried to pay via onsite payment a few times, and for some reason
it never works for me. Is it because I'm from Brazil, or maybe I'm missing
something else? The first time it happened, I thought it was a paypal problem,
but after contacting them, they had no idea what it was all about, and I discovered
it was a problem with the onsite payment option, I've never had this problem
paying anything manually via paypal, and this problem is consistent, I've
ran into it every single time I try to pay via onsite payment. It's really
not that much of a bother, but since some sellers don't provide the option
of offsite payment, it's always kind of awkward when I have to message them
explaining that I can't pay onsite.
|
I don't know why Bricklink doesn't solve this issue or send a message
to sellers explaining it and asking to have another option than PayPal onsite.
Some stores only accept Paypal onsite.

I know Boba is $3000, Luke is $1000, Lando is $400, Leia is $200, Stormtrooper
is $5 at most, Han is $30, Vader is also $30. So yeah, sounds about right.
