blooddogg757 Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 Hello all! I am new to Brick Picker and am very glad I stumbled across the site! I am a 36 year old father from Virginia Beach, Virginia currently residing in Western North Carolina. I have always been interested in LEGO but they have always been a little to far out of reach price wise. I recently started investing in them and was currently wondering if I open them and put them together does that diminish the value? Even if the instructions and box are kept in pristine condition? Thanks for considering! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sealed pristine box >> Sealed damaged box>> open box with sealed bag >> used Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrickLegacy Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 Hello! Welcome to the site. New and sealed sets typically demand the highest prices across the board. That said, if you do open them, saving the instructions will help preserve some value. The box helps a little bit, too. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blooddogg757 Posted November 5, 2017 Author Share Posted November 5, 2017 OK, thanks! I really, really want to put some of these sets together..., and some of them I have, like my Marvel BrickHeadz set. I did save all the boxes, instructions and even the plastic bags the bricks came in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TabbyBoy Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Meow and welcome! Any decent set is often worth at least what you paid for it down the line if you keep it clean with all the bits and instructions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blooddogg757 Posted November 8, 2017 Author Share Posted November 8, 2017 Thanks for the advice! I picked up a bunch of Lego Chima minifigs and unicycle? today for a 20 dollar bill, pretty cool. No boxes, instructions and the minifigs didnt come,with the weapons (if they even came with any) but for 20 bucks I couldn't pass them up. (I tried to upload a couple photos but couldn't).
