The pfm Lego Investment Challenge

Grand Piano here we come

The loop roller coaster looks like fun. Anyone built it?

I thought the idea of this thread is about investment rather than building

I thought it was about reliving our youth!

VW Camper. Work in progress. Decent build this.

Merc Zetros down from £285 to £159. These are the types of Technics that tend to go up a lot once retired.

Edit: re. the building/investing query - should we have a separate thread for LEGO builders to share rather than cluttering the investment thread?

I got the Zetros with 30% off. I was going to keep it MISB as an investment, but my curiosity got the better of me. I'm staggered it can climb an incline greater that 45%, as long as the surface is grippy.

fun build - quite fiddly in places. Wasn't helped by the fact the bags were not numbered

Some cool stuff coming:

The Technic Mars Rover looks great, I’ll be up for that.

The giant MiniFig is really cool too!

Oooh nice.. It'll sit well alongside my Curiosity Rover.

Well blow me down, it turns out there's an actual Lego brick removal tool made by Lego. A green one (below) was included in a set I received the other week as a 50th birthday present. I've used one of the black spanners that you get with Speed Champions cars for this before but the big one look so much better as it does axles as well. Game changer!

I've never come across a green one yet, but I must have about two dozen orange ones. They are very good for separating plates. No teeth marks!

 

[suzywong]

I got a green one recently…to go with the half dozen orange ones

 

[windhoek]

Fwiw, the green one I received was included in this 3 in 1 Tiger set. It's great to finally have the right tool for the job.
