    Hey Tiago I just wanted to stop by and give you a big thank you. I've been going through some mental health struggles lately, its been tough but your videos have helped me get through these difficulties. I used to love Legos as a kid and I've been dipping my feet back into the space recently, and you specifically have been at the forefront of that. Its been a big help, you've made a difference in my life and I wanted to share that w/ you. Thank you for what you do Tiago, you make the world a better place. Best of luck to you! :)

    7:29 All New Bricks is my favorite speed build channel of all time, the work and cinematography Paul puts into not only the stop-motion but the actual build process itself is on a whole other level. Really happy to see the shout-out. And you're right about there being an audience for just about anything. I don't plan on making RUclips videos regularly but I have an old big LEGO set and I want to try recording an unboxing and build video of it, for the simple reason that no unboxing video for it exists. But I also want to make it somewhat professional-looking and well-edited, not just prop up my camera at the side and record it with little to no setup or editing.

    To me, Flipping and investing feel counter to a passion for LEGO.
    It drives up prices of new and used bricks and sets, making it harder to enjoy if you don't have a huge disposable income.
    It also reduces the possibility of stumbling across cool stuff for cheap like in charity stores, which is part of the joy of browsing those and finding it as a passion you never knew you had.

  • @ProWierdchamp
    @ProWierdchamp 2 месяца назад

    Thanks for his video. Ever since I was a little kid, I always had a passion for Legos. I got my first Lego set when I was about 5 to 6 years old, the Epic Dragon Battle from Ninjago. When I was putting the set together for the first time, it felt like heaven. Hearing the snapping together of pieces in such a way blew my mind away. And now, as a young adult, I still build and collect Lego sets and get this: Even build my own creations with Lego pieces I have in my bins at home! The more Lego sets I bought, the more stuff I learned from them. And now, my biggest wish of all is to be working for the Lego group, designing Big Scale cars and Objects and people from movies.

  • @MsMotherWolf
    @MsMotherWolf 2 года назад +8

    I do 4 & 5 myself. It is something of a wait on the Investing side to have a set finally sell. As to the reselling bricks, that is extremely time consuming once you've gotten the lot in question to sort through it. Filtering out the non-LEGO and off brand bricks from the pile. Washing, finding broken pieces, sorting and listing them up. When selling on Bricklink, consider a minimum buy ammount to make it worth while when pulling orders.

    I have been working at Legoland as a seasonal employee for 3 years now. I've been trying to get into the Master Builder role for a while, but it is a very difficult thing to do. You have to go through 3 rounds of a building competition. Even still, they usually only hire one person at a time. I just recently did mine and I wasn't picked. There was a lot of good competition and the pressure got to me XD. But, it is certainly my dream job and I will continue to apply whenever they decide to hire more Master Builders.

    Thanks for the information. I think that of all the available options, being a LEGO Content Creator is perhaps the most accessible for me. There are no Official LEGO Parks, Stores, or other notable Venues in the state I live in. I've only visited a LEGO Store once in my life, and it was during the Pandemic (so still no Pick-a-Bricks cup for me).
    I could potentially start with some semblance of a Portfolio because I have participated in 3 LEGO Displays at a local toy store (of which I still have images).
    As of this moment, I am just trying to work on organizing my LEGO Elements. During the mentioned displays, disorganization really hindered my creativity and killed the time I had to work. My 2022 New Years resolution is to change that, and I pretty much have until the end of Summer to get it done (when the Annual Display and themes are announced).

    I'm working as hard as possible to do a new RUclips Channel, involving sharing my digital designs of Lego work.

    What about working at the Lego store? Not only you get an employee discount, but you make commission on the sets you sell. It's not a lot, but if you can sell some beefy technique or star wars sets ($200 - $800 range) it adds up.

      Sorry to burst your bubble but this isn’t true at all, you don’t get a commission for selling sets.
