Here's the part where I'm supposed to write a great blog post on the best ways to pack your LEGO collection and business up to move. Sadly, I don't have that post in me, but perhaps I will soon. As it's time for Bricks for Bricks to depart New Mexico. While I wish I did this full time, I do not. I have another job and they are moving me to Florida. I'm excited for the move to Florida, but it does bring challenges for an AFOL. I will lose Amazon's tax free sales to New Mexico and Albuquerque's Bricks and Minifigs store. There is a LEGO brand store in Florida, but it will be around 7 hours away from me so that's not fun.
As for moving my collection and the store, that's another story. These are just some of the boxes. I have a few other staging areas in my home and it drives my NLS (Non-Lego Spouse) nuts to see the pile getting bigger. If anyone has advice on how to do this, let me know. My current plan is to have a good inventory of what is in each box and to take pictures of the more expensive and harder to replace items. Beyond that, I'm just hoping for the best.
The site will remain up during the move, but I'm not sure how often I'll be able to post to the blog. The store on this site and the Brick Classifieds store will close on 26 June 2016. For minifig purchases from my store, I'm offering free shipping on orders over $30 of minifigs. Just enter "MIFGSHIP" at your time of purchase. For the Brick Classifieds store I went through and lowered some of the prices. I'm also willing to come up with deals for purchasing more than one set. Take a look and contact me via email with what you have in mind. Thanks for helping me to have less stuff to move. I hope to have the store back up and operating in Florida by the end of the summer.
In the meantime, if you have any suggestions on how to move my collection or tips on what not to do, please let me know in the comments or email me at store@bricksforbricks.com.
