donliu Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Hey guys. Just wondering if there is any investors/collectors where i live in Los Angeles 90045 that would like to meet up. I just got into Lego investing/collecting and wouldn't mind meeting some of you guys that have been doing this for a while and wouldnt mind showing a newbie some pointers. Thanks d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dimsumonly Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Welcome to Lego collecting and investing. It's great to see other Brickpickers in the L.A. area. I wish you well and success on your future investment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

binici Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Anyone sell or visit Frank & Son's? It appears a few vendors now stocking up and selling LEGO's like crazy. Also, anyone experience terrible dealings with CL people in LA or OC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Guapo Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Never been to Frank & Sons but it has always looked pretty cool (and by cool I mean nerdy, but someplace that I'd like). I have basically given up on CL in this area. If there ARE deals to be had, you really need to pounce in the first hour or so that it was listed and be ready to go. I am always stuck at work or have the kids, so makes it kind of hard. I live in North OC, but work in LA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donliu Posted March 8, 2014 Author Share Posted March 8, 2014 Never been to Frank and sons. As for craigslist there are always deals, you just gotta be quick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.xnanx. Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Better be careful when buying minifigs at Frank & sons.. China made bootleg figs are seeping in.. Sent from my SCH-R530M using Brickpicker mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpinemaps Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Never heard of Frank & Sons, but it looks interesting. I live in north San Diego County, though, so I doubt it'd be worth the 2 hour drive. Maybe one day, if we're already in the area, I'll have to drop by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.xnanx. Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 There's not much LEGO sets at Frank's..minifigs yep and if you're into comic books, hot wheels, collectible cards and action figures then Frank's the place we call heaven Sent from my SCH-R530M using Brickpicker mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd be surprised on some of the older sets you can find! Sent from my iPhone using Brickpicker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gooker1 Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Frank's is a fun little collectible place. Just know that most of them do this for a living or are quite serious about it like we are, so be prepared to see ebay or higher style prices on older sets if that's what you're looking for. You can find sets closer to retail or better than if it's newer stuff. They are open to trades, so if you have something that's of interest, bring it and see if they'll trade. donliu- yea, there are a handful of us in LA. You should check out LUGOLA to meet some other Lego folks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silvertt Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Interesting idea. However, given the secrecy aspect of investing I think most people would not speak out or participate, even if they do have an interest in socializing with other people who are interested in Lego. Maybe one day though we'll have a gathering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like fun. buidee, I didn't know you were there. We should have met up. I was there too. Yes, like buidee, I found out about BricksLA at Star Wars Days. I'd really like to go. Looks pretty good. It should be an easy sell to the wife, especially if there's a play area for our kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
