Medical Doctor, found this site while looking up prices to complete my UCS collection.  Since moved on to modulars.  My 7 year old son got me hooked to Legos about three years ago.  I like bargains just like everyone else here.  I love reading the comments. 

 

As a doctor you probably have some income to help you out. Lol.

I have been wondering how people can afford to Pay 5k a month on Lego. But seeing some of these jobs I know now how they do.

Lots of people savings go into Lego too.

I wish I had 5k a month to spend on Lego

I noticed a lot of smart people in this thread. Justifies spending a lot of money so my daughters stay interested in Lego's.

I'm trying to make a living selling stuff online, I used to work at an Internet cafe and my last job was a Call Center. I'm hoping to make enough money so I can study at the same time.

[emonster]

My first important job was manager for an electronics store at 21, then owned a restaurant for 10 years, and now a software engineer in the video games industry for 13 years. Married with 3 kids 15, 14, and 10. Loved legos as a kid, and fell in love again while shopping for a gift for my youngest. Luck has it that she loves legos now, so I found myself a partner 

 

I now buy mostly collectible sets that I can part out, to balance the risk. My goal is to part out my bad investments and keep the good ones to sell whole at a multiple of price paid in a couple years.

I've heard a rumour that in september 2015 Lego are releasing a UCS Tie Fighter set number 75095 retailing for $400.00 NZD
