Move over, gold and crypto, second-hand LEGO® is emerging as one of the most surprising alternative investments in the UK. Some retired LEGO® sets, especially those that are boxed, are increasing in value. WeBuyBricks, a new UK-based resale platform, is helping everyday people unlock the hidden value in their toy boxes.
Whether it’s a forgotten Hogwarts castle or a Star Wars spaceship buried in the loft, old LEGO® sets could be worth far more than expected. One recent WeBuyBricks customer made £900 from just three used sets, while the average seller earns nearly £80 simply by decluttering.
“We’re seeing incredible returns on retired LEGO®, some sets are outperforming traditional assets like gold or stocks,” says Ben Wadsworth, Marketing Manager at WeBuyBricks. “Most people don’t realise they’re sitting on a goldmine. That’s where we come in.”
WeBuyBricks offers a fast, transparent process for evaluating and selling pre-owned LEGO® sets. Users simply enter details on the website to get a quote, post their sets using a free tracked service, and receive payment within days.
This new circular economy solution is proving especially popular with:
Recent analysis has shown some LEGO® sets increasing in value quickly with scarcity, nostalgia, and fan-driven demand; discontinued sets, particularly themed collections like Star Wars™, Harry Potter™, and Technic, fetching hundreds, even in used condition.
With the UK increasingly focused on sustainable living and mindful consumption, WeBuyBricks offers a greener alternative to landfill or storage. Each set sold is cleaned, rechecked, and recirculated, reducing waste and bringing joy to new owners.
