 I'm off to Toys R Us

I know of one US stacker who has been flipping lego sets for a while now.

I knew this topic would be about lego:P when i'm doing the carboots I see almost everyone asking sellers if they have any vintage games consoles or lego. Some get lucky occasionally..the logistics of selling is a pain though! still pretty cool

Every man and his dog is at it now.  Big boom in the last couple of years especially with a site dedicated to Lego investing and a newspaper article only adds to the numbers joining in.

In the 90s I was going around asking for star wars figures.  I don't have much left now.

Bought my boy some Lego in the Lego Store recently.  Lady behind the counter said guys go it there to buy Lego sets to sell overseas via the Internet for big profits.

I'm a Magpie, I like shiny things.

You could also collect the Polish made Cobi which is similar to Lego, although some take offense to them.

I'm surprised Warren Buffett hasn't made a takeover bid for Lego. He likes big name brands.

Something you should get hold on, a Star Wars Merchandise the Leia in Gold Bikini. They are about to ban it because it's sexist.

My 7 year old daughter loves Princess Leia's outfit in the Jabba the Hut scene. Oh well, I never had my heart set on Grandkids anyway.

How did you get this photo? I need to tighten the security on my vault

[Bumble]

I picked the lock. That's what you get for using a £6 bicycle padlock to protect £1 billion of gold. You should probably take down the huge sign that reads "Gold Vault" as well.

Speaking of bicycle padlocks, anybody remember this story?
