I assume used LEGO sets are okay and not just NIB.

“A study by researchers at the Higher School of Economics in Moscow found that prices for retired LEGO sets grew 11 per cent annually between 1987 and 2015 —a rate that’s faster than bonds, stocks, and even gold. The study also concluded that LEGO returns are not exposed to risk factors and weakly dependent on the…Read more

I’ll be working in Warrendale so it shouldn’t take me long to get up there. I don’t have much in terms of Christmas sets, but we have the small kits from last year’s Star Wars and Harry Potter Advent Calendars and I also have a small Santa Claus from the 80s.

Thank you for sharing the list of vendors. I won’t need anything right now (we just dropped a bunch of $$$ on home remodeling projects), but I’ll keep your offer in mind next time.

LEGO events like this in Pittsburgh are very infrequent, but if you are willing to drive to Virginia, Toronto, New Jersey, Philly or Chicago you can find more vendors.

Greg,

Thank you for the insight. It sounds like we’ll have to make the trip to VA or Philly next time. As far as vendors goes, my son and I were more interested in minifigure…Read more

However, as a first-time attendee, it was a disappointing experience given the price of tickets (I know the group has nothing to do with this). We paid $50 for two tickets in the cheapest time slot (Sunday afternoon). I was shocked that there was only one vendor selling stuff. I was expecting something more like…Read more

Thanks!

I am in the process of selling the LEGO sets that Adam, my son, doesn’t use anymore. The first one is set #31088. It includes the instructions and all of the parts, but there is no box.

I built one castle set and a couple of space sets with my son (brought back some good memories, too). The hardest part is trying to remember what set(s) I had because I no longer have the instruction manuals and have to rely on websites like this – https://www.toysperiod.com/lego-set-reference/ – to find instructions.

I recently learned about this group when I saw the displays at the LEGO Store at Ross Park Mall. My son and I love to build LEGOs and I actually still have all of the LEGO sets from my childhood (mostly castle and space themed sets from the 70s/80s). I don’t build many MOCs, but my son does and he even makes stop-motion videos. I…Read more
