Amazing Lego City and Collection



Hello and welcome. What you’re going to see in this video no longer exists. I took everything down, boxed it up, and moved it to my son Alex’s new house. He’s an AFOL like me, and you’ll see some of his amazing work in this video. Hopefully, we will create a new Lego city in his house someday, but for now, here’s most of my collection and Gregopolis, our Lego city.

  1. Hi everyone. A lot of people ask me what it means when I say I "rebricked" a set. So here's the explanation. I used to work for a guy who bought thousands of pounds of Lego. He would then give the Lego to "sorters." I was a sorter for 5 years. Sorters would go to his house and get 30-gallon plastic bins filled with Lego. (About 25 pounds oper bin.) We would then take the bins home and sort the Lego into colors and Technic. In payment for doing the sorting, we could take 10% of the bricks we sorted. Whatever we wanted; minifigs, bricks, plates, new pieces, old, whatever. About 45% of my entire Lego collection was "rebricked" from used Lego parts that I was "paid." So when I say that I "rebricked" something, that's a word I made up (BEFORE Rebrickable) to say that I put a set together using used parts. After 5 years, I estimate I got about 600 pounds of "free" Lego bricks, parts, and pieces. 70% of the Minifigures in my collection I got through sorting. ALL of the old sets in my collection, and many new, were rebricked this way. For example, the Lego Ideas Treehouse in the video. (There are two.) Every single part of the larger, thicker one with apples was from sorting Lego.

  3. Super cool collection and all but your layout looks not very good. some parts looks like a 10 yeqar old build them. you can do a lot better for sure. also the background is bad. Alex is right.

  4. Really like your collection and city! I started getting into Lego again last August and I’m up to 129,000 parts. 127 sets and 353 minifigs and I still feel like I barely have any lol. I love going and getting bulk parts from PAB at the Lego store, just always fun to see when they have some cool new parts. I recently found all of the parts I used to have when I was younger too so I have about 30,000 loose bricks I can just build with that aren’t part of sets, I’ve been focused so much on getting more parts though I haven’t really custom built much yet. Maybe sometime soon though! Thanks again for sharing the video though, always cool to see!!!
