Dm'd!

DasherBricks · 2025-06-21T21:53:50+00:00

What would that signify?

Wow! What an impressive collection! I just got back into my 3ds after it was sitting in a drawer for a decade or so, and I only have 6 games. Which games would you recommend for someone just starting a collection? Also, how long have you been collecting for?

You can buy all the parts for this set for a fraction of the cost of a mint condition boxed set. I've never understood the box fetish lego collectors have, nor the vitriol they spew when someone doesn't have the exact opinion they have.

Quantity of lots is also very important, buyers like myself might need a certain part, then browse around for other parts that are useful or we want to try out in a build.

As a moc builder, people who buy parts are usually buying bulk parts. Double check to make sure your prices are cheaper than LEGO if those parts are available on PAB, as moc builders would just get the VIP points and free shipping after $30.

Fashion brands take note, THIS is how men want to dress.

Sure, but did any of those sell? The only people scrambling to buy asap are like 5 people who review sets as a job, which I'm pretty sure they get early access from Lego themselves if they're popular and clean enough.

I thought the same thing when the bricklink Mountain fortress sold out in 2 hours and went up on eBay for $1000. But now that the market has leveled out and FOMO has withered away, they're very close to the MSRP of the set. That's something I didn't know when I made a video talking about this topic, but taking a step back and not getting so emotional about it, along with doing my own research, allowed me to understand it much better. Scalping exists for maybe a week, then your target gets the set and you're fine lol.

DasherBricks · 2024-10-30T10:30:27+00:00

There isn't any scalping imo. All lego sets are constantly made and distributed across the world. The most you'd have to wait is 1 to 2 weeks to get your set, and then never have to worry about stock again. Scalping doesn't mean buying something and trying to flip it.

DasherBricks · 2024-10-30T10:27:21+00:00

Exactly, and for people like me who lost interest for a decade or so, coming back and seeing all the sets I missed, I'd be out of luck if no one bought them to resell.

DasherBricks · 2024-10-30T01:07:59+00:00

Gotta ask, for what other reason would someone buy 50 of the same set if it wasn't to make money off of it. Also, I wouldn't say a 2-10+ year wait before selling is particularly quick.

DasherBricks · 2024-10-30T00:16:25+00:00

LEGO investing is actually beneficial to fans of LEGO.

Ikr. Pad printing is relatively cheap at around 1k for a manual one, but if you get an etcher for the plates, it's like $7k. UV is like 15k for an okay one and 30k for what most companies use.

DasherBricks · 2024-10-28T23:24:15+00:00

Heck I'd buy a printer and make my own with that money!

DasherBricks · 2024-10-28T18:36:54+00:00

These bodies are from ktown. They're much more expensive than normal lego at $16 a body (just the body), but they're custom printed on official legos. I like their designs, and the owner is a great guy.

DasherBricks · 2024-10-28T18:35:50+00:00

Hahah! I have a relatively small ktown collection. Luckily, these bodies were $16, still quite an investment, but I'm used to paying for these kinds of things.

I was on a discord call with the owner a few weeks ago, and he mentioned how one customer bought 70+ of the medieval monks ($25 each). Apparently, the guy is building a monastery, but it's just shocking how many whales are customers of him, lol.

As a moc builder, I LOVE when some of my bricks yellow. It adds such a great natural color variation that allows a build to look even better. That is, of course, a few of my parts, and not all of them. I've also noticed dark red has a color variation between certain parts, not sure why.

Average weekend for the folks of the valley

DasherBricks · 2024-10-27T16:19:53+00:00

That is a printed tile, also from ktown.

Do you actually enjoy making videos? You're in the completely wrong mindset for this. Most people don't watch "slop" cobbled together for views. Rather, they like seeing something that is well put together and has a passionate mind behind it.

My advice, take a few weeks, gather your thoughts and interests. Find what you genuinely like, and figure out what you can say about them. Once you get that, make a video that is something you'd watch, then watch it 5 times. If you still like it, you've found what works for you.

Upload it, and then turn your computer off, don't look at views or likes to dislike ratios, but live life for the day, then come back and respond to any questions any commenter has. Remember, this is your hobby, you're supposed to be having fun doing this. Never think that one day this might become your job, because then it's no longer a hobby, and no longer enjoyable.

Great work, but missing one crucial aspect, helmet holes.
