TheDarkness Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 So I was digging through some boxes at my in-laws house and found I had stashed 5 Wolverine and a mini modulars set. Previously I discovered Hulk sets and Robie Houses I had put aside. Am I crazy or do people also put some of their excess sets they get cheap enough aside to be forgotten about for a rainy day?

biniou Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 I have a room dedicated to my sets so no, I do not forget any set, and I also because I have an OpenOffice file in which I can find in a blink of an eye what I own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ciglione Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 At first, when I read the topic title, I thought it was about hiding lego for the wife or IRS. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the thing, I do have an inventory list updated regularly. Just when moving stuff for space I threw in some bonuses straight from delivery.

TheOrcKing Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 I keep a detailed purchase list and usually have a good memory of what all I have stored but there still are times where I come across a set I forgot I even had or sometimes the number especially with polybags and Collectable Minifigures. The larger sets are easy to remember; it's the small ones that can cause temporary lapses of "Huh?". Haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaisonline Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 So I was digging through some boxes at my in-laws house and found I had stashed 5 Wolverine and a mini modulars set. Previously I discovered Hulk sets and Robie Houses I had put aside. Am I crazy or do people also put some of their excess sets they get cheap enough aside to be forgotten about for a rainy day? it happens especially with smaller sets. when we have many sets, there are some that we sometimes forget to enter into your "books" / brickfolio and fall behind other sets. I also found extra Wolverine Chopper sets (3) two weeks ago in addition to 2 Superman Lex Armor sets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthDrake Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 I read the title and immediately thought it was about hiding sets at places like Wal-Mart or Target, so no one else can find them and you can come back later to get them. That, I am a pro at. Lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I "hide" my stash of bulk Lego in tote bins in the basement marked as "Plumbing Supplies" and nobody is the wiser! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gregpj Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 LOL. I "hide" my stash of bulk Lego in tote bins in the basement marked as "Plumbing Supplies" and nobody is the wiser! Haha , I hide stuff in my workshop in the basement too. The whole family knows to look in my office closet now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naf Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 My wife knew I was stashing Lego, but I don't think she realized the full extent until the last couple of weeks when we had to move my entire stash out of the basement due to flooding. My Lego is stored in my workshop too, and she just never goes in there to see. Moving 200+ Lego sets is an eye opening experience lol. I promised her I'd sell some during the xmas season this year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

legokent Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 I think the trick is to get your other half involved. Get him/her interested in the thrill of bargain hunting, collecting and profiting. Make them participate and let him/her know the importance of their role in the whole process. Then all of this, will be justified. No more need of hiding LEGOs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10230 Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Hiding Lego? I am not hiding anything, except from the sun of course. It's not my fault that humans cannot see all that well in dark places. ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grolim Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Finding a set means 100% profit right... right?! Occasionally I've made an error in my inventory spreadsheet and discover an extra set or two, but nothing major. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
