Getting to know you

Mid 30th

[fastlane]

I'm a 61 year-old retired female and I'm not offended by anything either; I've heard it all before.

 

My daughter, age 30, is/was my Legomaniac. Started out restoring her sets, and I got hooked again in 2010.

16+      (According to the boxes i get)

 

 

22 in reality

[ducstar]

Let's just say I watch The Empire Strikes back, and The Return of the Jedi opening weekends as a child. :-)

 

Great memories.

I'm 42 and have a 3 year old and 10 year old.  I just started buying additional sets for collecting and investing this year.   I have loads of bricks and sets, but only 5 sets meant for saving.  Also, I am a male and have been teaching English for 16 years.

how many of us have an actual lego store near them?    

[Clean81]

I am in the Northeast about 30 minutes from New York City with no traffic.

I have a Lego store 15 minutes away from me.

Probably better off making a new thread with some distances, like

 

Within 5 miles

Within 25

Within 75

Within 150

 

etc

 

Im around 12 miles away, which is the sheffield one

I am in the Northeast about 30 minutes from New York City with no traffic.I forgot to mention I live in the state of New Jersey, with the Govenor from HELL, who is trying to take us back to the dark ages and the shopping mecca of the area. Our sales tax is lower than NEW YORK CITY and no tax on clothing, so New Yorkers shop here. I am a beginner and look forward to something new in my life. Thank and peace out.

Welcome... I'm stationed in Chicago too!

19, female!  

 

I've always liked legos and this is kind of a fun way to try and make some money while I'm in school.  If it doesn't work out for me, then I'll just use the sets I buy for gifts and build some myself as well

[seapotato]

27, f. Always been interested in legos, but never thought about investing until now! I set a budget for myself, and once I reach it, I'm going to stop buying (or so I tell myself). I figure if it doesnt work out, I can just bust open the sets and build everything! wheeee!

Ha ha...gotta love Rupert Holmes references.  The ending of that song cracks me up cause they man and his wife are totally cool with it...like "oh it's you, how silly".  But back on topic...

 

39.  Got the Yellow Lego Castle as a christmas gift (thanks Santa!) back in '81 and still have it!!!  Hit Dark Ages at about 14 (stick with it you youngsters) but got back into it when my boys started expressing interest.  Bought them sets for a year or two then bought MYSELF the Unexpected Gathering and was hooked.

 

I have always sold some of my old Lego's on Ebay (never my beloved castle though) so not new in the lego investing, just buying sets with that as a specific end goal.

I've only been a BrickPicker member for a short time and I'm now wondering if I'm one of the oldest (48!).  It'd be nice to see a histogram stating the # or % of members in each age group eg. 5-10yrs, 11-15yrs, 16-20yrs and so on.  Sometimes I think I'm too old for this but, am I?  All my friends and family think I'm bonkers spending

It is always a good thing to hang on to a Lego you really like. I will never sell some of my first Lego sets that I got as a kid. I got my first set when I was 2, which was the Gungan Patrol. I still have with almost all the pieces. Now I am 14, and I almost fell into the Dark Ages, but the 10225 UCS R2-D2 brought me back and then I found this site. Now, I still like Legos and I hope to profit of them in the near future.

39.  Couple of months away from the big 4-0.

[turbomattk]

32 and still have my first set. Forestman's Crossing.

Why not Manchester United? For me its either Manchester or Barcelona, but usually Manchester. Really though, I don't know very much about soccer.

 

If you did, you probably wouldn't call it soccer.
