    Didn't even know about those, it's funny how some are I love {City} and some are I love {Country} ??

    That could be a never ending collection…

    Whilst there I saw a "The Stig" keychain I didn't know about either… maybe I'll make a collection of "The Stig's" - altho they'll all look the same! :O

    Goals - it's a bit like NY resolutions - i'll never stick to it so it will be "make my store profitable" or at least sell more than I buy, which looking at the lack of offerings from TLG for next year may just be possible!!

    My goal is to inventory all my unsorted inventory before the end of 2014. I am sure that wont happen because I will probably buy more to add to it. But with about 300 - 400 pounds (estimated, about 15 5gallon buckets and a box about the size of a 20x20x20 packed full) of unsorted used parts, I don't think I will need to buy anymore.

    The wife is at her full time job but I will answer for her. She loves minifigures, so her goal is probably to purchase all the minifigures she can and see how long it takes for me to tell her to slow down :P

    My real goal is to build more and get the contents of my display shelves built so that our office and hall won't look like a Lego bomb went off.

    Unfortunately, that means that my near-term goal is to get half a dozen or so 100L bins of bagged partially broken down sets and random pieces parted out and sorted so that I can actually build. I have plenty of LEGO, but I can't find what I have, so I can't build with it. It's bad enough that I've considered ordering the parts I needed rather than looking for them, as it would likely be faster to wait for shipping than to dig through bins and bins. And on that note, back to sorting!

    Happy New Year, everyone!

    100,000 parts in my store.

    After that, the long-term plan is to open my own website where I sell parts, sets, and other building supplies (k'Nex stuff, nothing LEGO compatible). The longer-term plan is to grow the business to the point that I need warehouse space with a storefront and free-building areas for kids. By rolling my profits into increasing inventory and storage, I can hopefully continue to grow the business without incurring any debt.

    @Loremonger: "(k'Nex stuff, nothing LEGO compatible)."... isn't k'nex (via Lego Znap) compatible?

    Or just use the K'nex studded bricks...

    I didn't know k'Nex made anything LEGO compatible. I was thinking their roller coaster sets, Lincoln Logs, wooden train tracks. Things like that. Obviously I have a lot of research to do. This is all very hypothetical at the moment anyway.

    My idea is to offer products and eventually a space for kids to play and learn. LEGO provides the absolute best in terms of interlocking bricks, and of course their Technic line provides a lot of opportunity for learning. But I like some of the other mediums out there as well.

    @Loremonger - It's a great dream. And I wish you the best. I have a warehouse and am full time. The problem is, as soon as you go full time, some of that profit has to pay for your personal salary. That's where I am, the only profit is used to pay me, so cannot seem to expand further.

    @Minifigforlife.., yeah we also did our "calculations" it really seems a catch "22"..., when you say you have a warehouse (just curious), is it filled with (new) sets (easy to list) or unsorted (used) lots ...?

    @BWA - half is filled with my sorted parts and BrickArms parts, the rest is unsorted lots, but also contains my kit that I need for event selling, packaging materials, a small office for me, and my Brick printer and engraver. I only have a few sets, that are waiting parting out.

    My goal is to buy a new house and then I'll have the space (attic) to really build stuff and grow my shop inventory.

    It's so frustrating to build something in the living room and not have a place I can leave my Lego lying around.
