Anyway, in those years I’ve developed what could be termed: category likes. Certain
categories within the catalog I tend to buy from when bored, simply because I
enjoy or appreciate the items. I would call it collecting, but it’s not really
that. I have collections, none Lego related.
No, I spend money on these Lego, rationalizing the expenditure with “I’ll sell
it someday in our normal course of doing business here." I guess the perceived
difference for me, is that simple fact; the intention to sell at some point
Well this morning, after several cups of jo, I started pondering those categories
I’ve come to enjoy, and asked myself why? That is, why do I appreciate them,
say over others?
Are there items of particular categories within the BL catalog, you tend to
enjoy more than others? If so, what are they and why the affinity?
I’d enjoy reading your thoughts on this, and have mischievously omitted a personally
salient bit for now: my categories. I will post them, but I would kinda like

Do I need to say what my favorite category is?
No idea why, but it stuck with me…

I have a similar pile of 1000s of pieces that I have bought here knowing I'll

Mine is Dark Orange. I will always look through Dark Orange before checking
out and throw some in my cart. I think it is a great color for building older
brick buildings. Other categories are string, electric, and animals.

All those slotted, hollow and large cross support bricks.
If I was to pick a particular item it would be the flat doors for slotted bricks,
this extends to other manufacturers who produced their versions.

| Thanks Maxx,
I have some including colours other than the standard, I’ll find them soon as
I’m working through my boxes at the moment.
Let you know what I have.
Cheers
Just as a footnote, if anyone has a trans clear bdoor01 then I’d be interested,
found a window in trans clear, amongst others, so the door could exist.

Not so much "buy" as I hoard from bulk.
-Masonry bricks. Starting hoarding them when they were like $1+ / each, but now
I still can't stop pulling them out of bulk and placing them in their own
bag.
-Barred doors and windows. One of my favorite play sets as a kid was Sheriff's
lockup and the ability to place minifigures in the jail like I was a giant overlord
mad with power.
Don't plan on actually building anything with them now, but if I do (or whoever
ends up with them should I inevitably dump them in one big lot) could probably
make an entire prison... sounds exciting, right!?
-1 x 16 bricks, these were scarce in my childhood builds.. i maybe had 2 so I'm
overcompensating as an adult.
-32 x 32 baseplates... similar to above, but only had 1.
-Technic, always thinking I'll make a cool contraption one day
-Rock formations.
-Larger finishing tiles. 2x4s and 1X6s and bigger.
Like you, the idea is that I'll probably sell it at some point, with the
excuse that I need to accumulate enough to make it "worth it".

| I love the Masonry Bricks (98283 and 15533) of any color. By far my favorite
part. Not sure why.
There is one particular Star Wars set that I love to pickup up when I see a decent
deal and that's 9490, Droid Escape. I love the Sand Troopers. I couldn't
tell you how many of those I have parted out over the last 2 years or so.

I always loved the trees. I remember when LEGO Shop at Home had
on sale for something like $5.99 a bag and I bought a bunch. I also stocked
up on when they had them (at Pick a Brick IIRC). My kids' LEGO
table had these wonderful tree-lined streets, and I also had a ton more that
I thought I would gradually sell, but I never got the chance.  Oh well.
Enjoy your LEGO while you have it.

I recall finding my first Technic piece in Metal Blue. From then on, when I'd
place orders for projects and parts, I'd buy everything within reason in
that color. Just recently, I listed it all for sale, and it's been a liberating
feeling.

I love printed tiles. (not stickers, but printed) I saw a mosiac made of them
at my first Brickworld Chicago and it just kinda stuck with me. I am happy whenever
I get to add a new one to the catalog so the artists out there have more to work
with.
Second place would be all the minifigs that are dressed up in costumes.
I also love sorting and selling anything from the Technic or Bionicle categories.

| | 16 years already? Ouch! The only thing still moving fast as you age, seems to
be time.
Anyway, in those years I’ve developed what could be termed: category likes. Certain
categories within the catalog I tend to buy from when bored, simply because I
enjoy or appreciate the items. I would call it collecting, but it’s not really
that. I have collections, none Lego related.
No, I spend money on these Lego, rationalizing the expenditure with “I’ll sell
it someday in our normal course of doing business here." I guess the perceived
difference for me, is that simple fact; the intention to sell at some point
Well this morning, after several cups of jo, I started pondering those categories
I’ve come to enjoy, and asked myself why? That is, why do I appreciate them,
say over others?
Are there items of particular categories within the BL catalog, you tend to
enjoy more than others? If so, what are they and why the affinity?
I’d enjoy reading your thoughts on this, and have mischievously omitted a personally
salient bit for now: my categories. I will post them, but I would kinda like
to read some of your thoughts, first
-Thanks

Hair and Headgear as they're the one component that really helps define a
minifigure. Assembling them onto a head is also very satisfying
Hair, Headgear and Heads are one of the main things my store specializes in.
Small and easy to store with a good demand for them. They certainly work for
me

Makes sense. My son opened his own store when he became of age. When he did,
he briefly toyed with the idea of specializing in minifig heads, headgear and
hairs. His thinking was much the same as yours and I also thought it a good idea,
still do.
Anyway, when going over possible store names back then, I hit on the store name
"A good place to get ahead" His career and interests quickly sidelined his BL
store development, though.
