LEGO really does have it all. Not only does it allow LEGO fans to develop their creativity and problem-solving skills, it can also offer an escape into a whole new world. Building worlds with LEGO can mean escaping into the far-flung reaches of outer space with Star Wars, seeking out the darkest corners of Gotham City with Batman, or discovering the magical realm of Hogwarts with Harry Potter. The possibilities are almost endless – and the promise of each new world is defined and limited only by the LEGO constructor’s imagination. In creating these worlds, lovers of LEGO not only have the enjoyment of building and constructing, they also have something tangible that they have created, something that they can be proud of once the project is finished. Whether it’s a battle-ready space ship or an indestructible castle, these LEGO sets can be so intricate, they can almost be thought of as works of art. Indeed, they are a project, a creation, an achievement. Where should these carefully constructed masterpieces go when there is nowhere left to store them all?

Previously people bought LEGO for their children or their own enjoyment, and only considered selling their collection when they wanted to move on from the hobby or had to sell their collection due to financial or other issues. However especially since the use of the Internet it has become quite apparent that LEGO sets, minifigures and parts (especially the discontinued or rare ones) are in fact a hot commodity that can bring significant gains.
LEGO fans realized that by selling LEGO they no longer want or need they can fund the hobby (LEGO is an expensive toy after all – and more LEGO is always better), or make extra money for other expenses. This trend has progressed so far in fact that there are now those who look at LEGO exclusively (or almost exclusively) as an investment; they buy new LEGO sets in multiples with immediate or future gain in mind, or scout for old LEGO sets they know are still in high demand. Personally I don’t consider myself a LEGO investor, however I do sell LEGO (especially minifigures) to fund my hobby. In fact I own all my LEGO free and clear just buy investing a little time and effort of doing a few sales a month. Whatever comes in from these sales is what I use to buy new LEGO. I have also talked with some long-time LEGO investors who shared with me that their LEGO investments far outperformed their gains on the stock-market or other, more traditional lines of investment vehicles.
Whether you just want to fund your LEGO obsession, or you are considering LEGO as a serious investment vehicle, one challenge you will run into, and where you spend most of your time at, is price-research. This is the heart-and-soul of investing in LEGO (or in anything else for that matter); you want to buy low and sell high. Today I would like to introduce you to a website that will help you in your price-research and your LEGO portfolio management, so read on! 😉 is an online LEGO Price and Investing Guide that was created by two brothers, Jeff and Ed Maciorowski. Jeff is a professional website engineer, while Ed is a professional LEGO fanatic. Together, they realized there was a need for a unique online LEGO destination that would help provide pricing information for LEGO in the secondary markets. Ed grew tired of physically jotting down hundreds of eBay auctions by hand which he used to come up with average LEGO set prices and aid him in finding great deals for his budding LEGO investment hobby. Th
