Star Wars ones became collectibles
I remember when Death Star first came out when my son was into them and it was like 79 and we passed because it was too much
A year later it was in the hundreds
I should have bought ten of them and put some on eBay

They started getting expensive when they built a theme park in Orlando called LEGO Land

I was shocked to learn that both of the Pirates of the Caribbean ships released that I bought my son's and spent 6hrs putting together are worth almost 5x what I paid for them now.. If they were still in the box

At the garage sale where I bought the two large bins of Thomas the Train shite, they had another large bin filled to the top with loose Legos.
A lady got there just seconds before I did, got the bin for $20.
Luckily I know the lady, she will not feel like messing with them. She said she will sell them to me for $20 if she decides not to mess with them. It was close to 100 pounds of LEGO blocks.
The only reason she bought them is because I played my hand too much. She asked how much, the guy says $20. She is sitting there thinking about it, I tell her if she don’t buy it, I will.

I was at the LEGO store in Disney Springs about three years ago. While I was there, they were putting these out. They only had 6. They were $300 each. I didn’t get one.

This is what they go for now (this is sold price, not asking price)

Ten years ago you could get the discontinued Lego City sets for fairly cheap on eBay

They’re sky high now

Lego sets easily ran into that price back before Georgia won their last National Championship. This is when the Space-Lego dudes only had red or white suites.

Toy cars are nice as they help inspire us to want to spend money on buying nice cars. Lego's, especially the advanced sets with motorized components, can help inspire kids to learn to understand how nice cars operate.

Toy cars do tend to be cheaper. Unless they're Autobots, then they might cost most than Lego's, but some of them look cool as shite.

Amazon sells knockoff legos that fit legos and look exactly the same. Much cheaper! My five year old has thousands of those frickers and we’ve paid probably only $300 total through the years for them.
