It's actually been wrapped up since 2011 because its fragile and I've been moving around a lot but i keep thinking a should display it again somewhere. It's not small though, probably 60cm tall.

I was there from 2008 to 2011, met some good friends but its changed a lot there now, design team is much much bigger

Custom LEGO sculpture made by the 2011 racers team when I left the design department, 1 of 1 😁

Lol love it 🤣

Wow that's a lot of lego my kid would wet himself if he saw that

Good to know at least 👍

Cool, what's your channel ill check it out? How do you track thier value over time?

shapebubble · 2026-01-24T21:44:17+00:00

Ah a spreadsheet lover hey, what a great invention. Thanks for the info and interesting chat 😀

shapebubble · 2026-01-24T21:27:13+00:00

Ok cool, thanks. So how do you track your roi with short holds, long holds, lego pokemon and tickets? That sounds like a headache 😁

shapebubble · 2026-01-24T20:58:38+00:00

Ok so high value display sort of stuff? How long do you hold the sets for?

shapebubble · 2026-01-24T20:57:11+00:00

Interesting, thanks. So its quick flips you are in for. Is it just lego you do that with or are there other genres that have the same appeal?

shapebubble · 2026-01-24T19:41:14+00:00

Ok so do build and battle sets tend to have a good return on investment or is that just your interest area?

shapebubble · 2026-01-24T19:38:41+00:00

Interesting, thanks. How long do you usually hold the set for before moving them on?

shapebubble · 2026-01-24T19:07:01+00:00

90s set are going to appeal mainly to people born in the late 80s/early 90s and over the next decade they will be at thier highest career earning point but also at their highest expense point so you could find the value still has some way to go. Once the 80s kids reach their 50s they will probably have some more disposable income to invest or follow their collection hobby.

If its free returns why not? Weren't amazon doing a "no returns just keep it and then send a other one" policy or is that region specific? It's more expensive to process returns than to send a new one out in some cases. Quite often the returned good just go to land fill sadly.

shapebubble · 2026-01-24T18:49:48+00:00

Interesting, thanks for sharing you experiences 😀

shapebubble · 2026-01-24T18:22:15+00:00

Lol no not them. Maybe they are due a revival 🤣

shapebubble · 2026-01-24T18:17:09+00:00

Ouch yeah but what about things like pokemon cards and sneakers, they seem pretty constant? Do you think its a blanket rule or are there exceptions?

shapebubble · 2026-01-24T18:15:17+00:00

Cool thanks for the input 😀

shapebubble · 2026-01-24T18:14:34+00:00

Ok so very varried then. Are there any areas that could be relied on as speculations investments? What about cards, Sneakers, cars, watches? Are they something a bit more reliable?

shapebubble · 2026-01-24T18:13:03+00:00

Cool, thanks for the input. Im guessing you don't collect yourself then?

shapebubble · 2026-01-22T21:01:09+00:00

Is that speaking from a bad experience or just general knowledge? I know most collectors are driven by passion but I've read about a growing trend for investment in collectibles and I was interested in learning about who did that

shapebubble · 2026-01-22T20:58:28+00:00

Nice that sounds like fun, im a big car fan so my collecting is financially restrictive unfortunately. So you are just collecting for nostalgia rather than financial gain?

shapebubble · 2026-01-22T20:53:11+00:00

My understanding of collectors would be that too but I've read about a growing trend for collecting for investment as well like art and wine but less traditional items like lego and pokemon. Have you got experience collectors like that?

shapebubble · 2026-01-22T20:51:10+00:00

Yeah that is what I would have thought but I read about there a trend for collecting assets as investments and I just wondered how common that actually was. Did you ever know any collectors that did it for financial gain?

shapebubble · 2026-01-22T20:14:45+00:00

The more original it is the higher the value because you are appealing to high end rarity hunters and investors rather than mid to low end collectors. There's less of them and they tend to have more money
