I lack the self control to buy a LEGO set without building itIt'll be worth a fortune in a decade (I'm serious, I read a few years ago that Lego appreciates in value better than gold!). So just buy it and then sell it in 10 years to afford the house and new sets to display![]()
I was shocked with what I got out of my old, discontinued sets when I decided to sell them in 2020-21. They were all built and had collected dust, and we were moving and I wasn't going to have as much room in my new home office. I had some town buildings like City Hall which sold on eBay for $1K--A fivefold increase! The Orthanc tower from Lord of the Rings likewise sold for like $800, we were flabbergasted... in all, made almost $4K and we went on our first Disney Cruise with the proceeds, lol!I lack the self control to buy a LEGO set without building it
did you disassemble and repack them? or sell them assembled?I was shocked with what I got out of my old, discontinued sets when I decided to sell them in 2020-21.

We have all (and I do mean all) the original Clone Wars sets, including the characters from when the show was still on Cartoon Network. I don’t think I could part with them, but you’re making me curious. We also have The Orthanc Tower, to which I’m not attached.I was shocked with what I got out of my old, discontinued sets when I decided to sell them in 2020-21.
