What's OnValuable Lego sets that are worth thousands of poundsFrom a Liverpool open top bus to the Eiffel Tower, these Lego sets could make you some serious money. Those Lego sets collecting dust in your loft could be worth quite a few quid. In fact they could be worth thousands, as some rare Lego collections are being listed on auction websites as collectors are eager to get their hands on them. If you have a collection of the popular plastic bricks, you may want to check to see if you have a valuable set hidden away. However, prices are usually higher if they have their original box or are unopened. There’s plenty making an appearance on the internet including a full Star Wars collection which sold for £3,300 and a Liverpool FC Champions League 2005 Parade Bus in Lego form which has sold for more than £200. You can also get a couple of hundred pounds for popular used Lego such as Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter which sell quickly on auction site eBay. Here’s some of the most valuable Lego sets at the moment: Liverpool FC: Champions League Winners 2005 Parade Bus: £395

After a while, I found some pretty good applications for them all. These strips can be found everywhere, and usually come in a roll up to several meters. They require 12v and have built-in resistors. There are three LEDs per segment, which allows the strip to be cut to size. The long strips are cost effective but can be a little tedious to cut and solder on leads. I bought a bunch of pre wired strips with 3 LEDs for a little bit more, because my time is valuable (I have a 14 month old). What’s extra special about these LEDs is that they have an adhesive tape on the back that you can then easily attach to a 6 stud lego plate. This makes them really versatile.
These are the smallest LEDs I’ve found. Measuring 1.0mm x 0.5mm, you can easily hide these anywhere. The hard part is soldering on the resistor, which also needs to be hidden. The leads literally feel like hair and the LED bulb looks like the root. Its best to just wrap the lead around the resistor a few times to make sure it has a firm connection, same goes for the extending wires. I then wrap electrical tape around the bonds and resistor lead, to avoid any exposed metal. Take care to not break off the lead, it’s really fragile. I’ve broken at least two so far. A small but slightly larger LED and lead combo compared to the micro. Measuring 1.6mm x 0.8 mm, these are still small enough to fit between two closed bricks. You still need to solder in a resistor and tape it up. Since its a little larger, the wire is more durable and generally easier to work with. I use these most for street lighting, exterior lights on buildings, etc. I bought this pack of LEDs from my local electronics store.
Most are not really ideal for adding lots of light to an area. I did find a few that were small enough to fit through a cylindrical lego piece and dish which is cool. I find them handy for general effects and they are perfect for the microcontroller projects because of their low voltage. I have jumper leads that I tend to just attach to them for testing projects or if I’m being lazy. I usually place the resistor on a breadboard when using these for convenience. I looked at getting these for a long time. They run at 5v, which is a little safer but really it’s their convenience that pulled me in. After wiring tiny LEDs to resistors and then having to run the wiring, I definitely see the value. They are pricey to begin with and combine that with trying to ship to the UK, I would being paying a fortune to light up this city. I’ve had to stick to my own ways but wouldn’t rule these out if you live in the US and can’t be bothered to manage the wiring. Here are ton of images of the Lego City with a focus on how I’ve placed the lighting.

Found in rogueyoda's folder on Brickshelf. JBartosch has created this street and displayed it in a LEGO Store. The book shop looks great. Just had to show this beautiful interior from Eekthecat's gallery. Corner Bank By voyagetom-01 MALUG refers to 'building standards' in these creations. I think the interiors are excellent. These creations are by peachtree. I can definately see some 'rules' for add-ons beginning to form themselves - e.g. 16 studs wide - interchangable storeys with tiles for easy removal. A bigger picture of Market Street found by ApophisV - There's an indepth discussion going on about this set in the Eurobrick forum.I like the boxes of fruit and the balconies. This picture shows the minifigs in more detail. Looks like one of them is wearing the classic overalls but in green.
Have to say - bit surprised about the price. Converted into UK sterling that would be 96.00 pounds... That's more than the Cafe Corner... and The Statue of Liberty 3450 when it came out a few years ago. Fingers crossed this is a mistake, unless there are hidden parts inside??? monorailandWeebleleezer's pictures of some designs that were shown to LEGO fans at an exhibition in Frechen. The fans were asked to complete a survey about which one they would most like to see as a proper LEGO set. I think I need to send this photograph to Most Haunted. Can you see the ghost in the background in pascalbreard's picture. This Cafe Corner is by patje. Cafe Corner doesn't have an interior - however, these pieces of furniture, by Moko, would look amazing inside. Le Quartier by pedroagnelo. Several of the new sets mentioned in the previous blog are now available at LEGO Shop@Home UK. I'm having a discussion on Bricklink at the moment - it appears that they are not available in Canada or the US yet.
This picture along with others of Future 2007 Sets are supplied by chris6369.I'm looking forward to the cement mixer and recycling truck. I have the ones from the eighties, but these new ones look more realistic. Which do you prefer? tacvud has a whole street of shops including a LEGO Shop, Antique Shop, Hotel and a House. I've added a folder called rejects to Brickshelf. This one took a couple of hours on Saturday morning, now its been broken down and is back my storage boxes.I don't mind too much - its all good practice at making better models - plus - There's always Sunday.I've been thinking about the following additions: a pet shop (mainly because I have a lot of animals from parted Harry Potter sets), bakers (because you can get bread and cakes), car garage, launderette and railway bridge with train station. I've been building this weekend. I think this street vendor should have smaller wheels, what do you think? This picture was taken by matthewcrandall9 at Brickfest 2007
