LEGO Investing: Storage Solutions with Proper Shelving and Boxes 

Your videos are super informative and surprisingly fun to watch!! Thanks so much for doing such a wonderful job!!!

For storing my unopened sets, I've found IKEA IVAR shelves to be very useful. They are modular, in that you buy a few of the sides, then as many or as few shelves as you need, and the sides have a lot of inserts in them to allow you to position the shelves almost exactly where you need them to make the most efficient use of space. I order them by the height of the box and together in theme, so the really tall sets like the SSD and Ghostbusters sets go on the bottom shelf together, and as I go up, I store the shorter and shorter sets, again to maximise the use of space.

I really appreciate your organization! I'm currently dealing with a shortage of storage and display space. I have 2 closets full of boxes and shelves/display through out my home. I've been thinking about folding boxes flat to save space.

Let's not forget the effects of light---even led bulbs--- on the lithography of the box. If you've ever seen a collection with all the exposed sides bleached of color, you will cry. Well, maybe not you. Inside, opaque, acid-free containers is the way to go.

Great video thanks for taking the time to make it.

Love the shelving, thank you! 😊

It would look nice if you would paint the wooden front of your shelf in grey. Merry X-mas from Berlin.

See that UCS Millennium Falcon? Yeah, just give me that one. I did manage to score the latest Imperial Star Destroyer though. It's a big boy!

Great vid once again👍🏻

do you ever build your sets

Great advice

Awesome video

Me wishing I could afford all of those sets ;-;

But.....you got very much dust on this boxes. How do you think there?

Super usefull input, thank you! Do you pay and particular attention on light and/or air condition in your storrage room? Obviously you store your boxes verticaly due to your space limitations: wouldn't you also prefer to keep them horizontaly in order to relieve those boxes from stress provided from the content if you would have that extra space?

Wow,boxes of the same size are the same size.Nothing to do with Lego at all,it's a commodity.Money,money,money!

Do u put the moisture absorption packs in your boxes to prevent any moisture from getting on the sets

Great video. What would be disadvantage, other than space if you store this biggers sets laying down so that the content wound not be pushing sides out on the bottom? I have smaller collections and just toke one medium size set out, it was laying for 10 years and it is ok. Thanks

Thanks for the helpful advice. That really helps as i have a current crisis about storage. Would it be possible to share the exact dimension and things needs as I am not very handy with those things but I am going to try. Also can you give me some advice for the best way for shipping lego sets like what size of box to use, where to get them, how to put it what padding to use? is bubble wraps good ???

Do you see any decrease in resale value to storing Lego boxes flat on sets being displayed? Obviously not a UCS set or an Architecture box but Modulars or other sets (Ninjago, etc) that my kids may be playing with.

Hi Greetings from Panama I'm a Lego Star Wars and Modulars collector mostly big sets and UCS probaby around 200 sets and counting ive been collecting for the last 5 years since i started building again. do you happen to store back sets that youve built in the past and as you run out of display space how do you stored them is it in their original boxes or differently? would love to know how other AFOLs approach this

How about wrapping sets in bubble wrap then storing them if the boxes are very mint? good idea or no?

How do you store your sets inside the standardizes boxes? Do you stack them inside, or do you just store them all on 1 level?

My dream house.....

How would you transport the boxes for a move? I have about 15 unopened sets that are fairly large (Expert CITY sets for example). What kind of bin would you recommend?

Where do you store the finished models?

What is the average ROI when it comes to LEGO?

Does acid or other chemicals in the cardboard boxes in which the Lego is shipped badly affect the lego box over time? I have some lego I’d like to store long term in it’s box and wanted to use the shipping for for extra protection but am afraid that it will over time damage the lego box. Is it always best to store the lego boxes with not external paclaging? Thanks!

GO look at the price of lumber!

I have about 60 sets that are very old, and I would like to ship them from my old house to my current location. What is the best way to ship them? Should I ship them all in one giant box, or all separately? Your suggestion would be most appreciated. thank you

Are the sets new? Unopened? That’s really the only investment lol kind of don’t quote me on that too much

please dont bei offended, but toy Investment is kind of an ugly Business,no matter if it is Lego, Marvel legends, Transformer or Pokemon cards. i feel sorry for the poor parents that try to get the stuff for their kids one day.

Jesus loves you!
