I think I've come to a crossroads with my collecting and my Lego sets. I've got tons of Hasbro 3.75" and 6" stuff, some other random stuff, and nearly every Star Wars Lego ever made. 1/4 are open (built or demolished and bagged up ) and 3/4 are still in their boxes.
I'm building out my display area and can't come close to having 50% on display. Playsets, vehicles, and Lego take up the most room in displays.
Lego was fun to actually play with for awhile as my kids got in to them and we built sets together, but they've moved on and don't have much interest anymore.
I'm just not sure what to with my stacks and stacks of Lego, plus the new sets they're rolling out. I've not bought much in the past couple of years as a lot has been rehash or not that interesting, so cutting the cord on new stuff won't be hard. I just don't know what to do with my existing stuff. Sell it? Keep it boxed?
I didn't have a hard time parting with other large chunks of my collection over the years (12", MicroMachines, Galactic Heroes), but I'm really struggling with what to do with Lego. I loved Legos as a kid and still think they're so cool.
Have any of you current/former Lego collectors hit the same crossroads and made a decision?
The good news is the resale price of Legos is kinda nuts, so selling it off should be fairly profitable...
