I sure am one of those who STILL collects Lego!
Have absolutely tonnes of the stuff. Recently purchased Tower Bridge and Sidney Opera House, very good ones to make.
I really want the Taj Mahal, but I think that's the rarest Lego set there is these days. |  |

If/when you have children, do not stand on this piece.

I will, glad I got it when I did.
See, I was looking at getting that, but it just doesn't interest me unfortunately. Admittedly, I don't do it for the resale value on it.
I'll have to take a look at the apps. I'm currently in the middle of getting the Brick Bank, Detectives Office etc etc. Although there is a few discontinued sets of them as well.
Another rare one is the Maersk ship. I nearly brought it when it was out, but even that's discontinued now and going for a fair bit on Ebay etc. | |

I'll get that downloaded then!
I always do, never ever get rid of boxes/instructions. Apart from the very early ones from when I was a kid!
I've got a few Harry Potter pieces myself, even though I was never interested in Harry Potter, will have to look through the boxes and boxes I've got to see what sets I had. | |

I had one of these in the early 1980's - a beautifully designed little thing.

Yeah i have been doing it for years, Star wars Lego is the biggy as a massive franchise and like you say, wait until just before retiring and buying to hold onto for a few years.
Factually lego increases more than gold.
Most of the exclusive sets are the best as it is mostly the mini figures that hold the value.
Also always look out for the pre xmas buy 2 get 1 free on toys - Argos, Boots and toys R Us do this. it usually pays for my xmas presents out of the profit as unbenown you can buy the sets, split up, sell the mini figures seperate which will usually reach the entire set woth and leave you with the box and set as profit plus your extra that you had for free from the offer. This is proven year in year out. | | | |

A lad I know makes good money off selling Lego on eBay. Personally I dont see the appeal; what do you do with these big sets once theyre built? |  |

I collect Lego, I have the whole Architecture range including the very rare Marina Bay Sands that was only released in Singapore and is probably worth 10x what I paid for it.
I dug out my old Lego from when I was a kid, bricklink'd any missing pieces and sold those on for lots of money.
I have the PR model, and a few other big sets but it's mostly Architecture I focus on - but there is definitely money to be made on the rare sets if you can get them. Sometimes just getting box and instructions is worthwhile as can get the pieces sorted |  |

Weirdly I'm in the lego store, Leicester Square - waiting for my son to choose something less than the £420 Death Star.
Any orders whilst I'm here? |  |

I got my parents to buy my niece the Disney Castle on mine which was good for points...
And a few Saturdays ago my sister-in-law was in London with her boyfriend and he bought the Death Star for £400 and she phoned me and got it all on my card so I currently have a load of points....! | |
