LEGO In The News - The Wall Street Journal - The Economics of LEGO

This one was posted today and I figured I’d throw it out there as the rest of the fan media doesn’t seem to push these out. As a LEGO fan, I didn’t learn anything new from watching this that I didn’t already know, but it’s a good plug for people who aren’t already addicted to the brick.

It’s also fun to see some of the old commercials and ads. I wasn’t aware of the original Star Wars cartoon they mentioned. It’s just under six minutes long so check it out.

Happy building!

LEGO in the News - Wall Street Journal - Investing in LEGO is Booming?

I didn’t see this anywhere else in the LEGO Fan Media so I figured I’d publish this one. Apparently LEGO investing is where it’s at and you can make big money buying and selling it. If you watch this just under 6 minute video, you’ll see that you can make better returns than the stock market.

As someone with a Bricklink store, I can say sets and minifigures sell, but all of your sales are not what the video says. It takes work and time and not all sets have the huge returns that the videos spotlights. I can point out some of the sets that I have had for many years and they have not sold. My advice would be to be careful before jumping into “investing in LEGO.” Just because a bunch of folks on YouTube say you can make big money doesn’t mean that it’s going to be a huge cash cow. So be warned and enjoy this clip.
