Hey! Recently made an introduction thread after I stumbled upon the forum. I've been collecting minifigures for a few weeks now, been a life long fan of legos but really put that aside and now starting to get back into it at 27 mind you! I really want to start working on MOCs and just building stuff for sh*ts and giggles.. What's the best way I could achieve that? Buy seperate pieces from bricklink? Try to find assorted bricks sets on craigslist or in garage sales? I'm a bit lost. Thank you!

Not planning to resell anyway to be frank. I was just bummed because they said all the parts were there and it was missing a few spare parts, but if that's common practice I'm fine with it as well.. Like others said as long as the set is complete..

Oh yes it has the spare red wheels, the orange hood, the white thingy and everything just missing some 1x1s and a few other minor parts... I bought it in person so I was aware the box was missing its just I was wondering how missing a few spare parts would affect "collectibility" if at all.

I have a question regarding used sets and collecting. I recently bought the Back to the Future DeLorean set and it was sold without the box. It was sold a a plastic bag and labeled as ''Like New''. When I finished the build I realized that some of the spare parts were missing. Now I know they are spare parts, and not really bothered by the fact but wondering how that impacts the worth of the set as a whole and if spare parts are considered ''an essential'' when it comes to collecting. Like if you were going to sell a set on ebay, could you still consider a set that's missing the spare parts as a ''complete'' set or would you have to disclose the missing spare parts and how would that affect the value if so. Thank you very much and have a nice day!

YES! I just saw the Ghostbusters themed set, it's my next purchase :)

Hi! New guy here from Canada. I have 3 very young nephews and as a result I've been visiting the local toy store a lot for birthdays and Christmas gifts. A few weeks ago I went and stumbled upon Lego mini-figures. I bought a few of them and when I got home and unwrapped them the nostalgia hit me really hard. I started watching YouTube videos about Lego creations and checking eBay, local stores and the internet as a whole for rare and collectible sets of Lego's. I couldn't believe how many there were right now. I remember being 12 years old and browsing through my Lego club magazine, drooling over all the nice sets I couldn't afford. Now at 27 with a stable source of income, I can BUY EVERYTHING I WANT :) I also found an independently-run store in my town called ''Briques'' that has a HUGE inventory of old and new Lego sets, mini-figures and single pieces. I bought the ''Back to the Future'' set with the DeLorean and the two mini-figures, couldn't be happier. I will be buying many more, the bug is back! I really enjoy older movie themed Lego sets. The Star Wars series of course being a main focus, used to love the episode 1 sets. If you guys know of any other collectible movie themed lego sets please let me know. See you around!
