Mr. Gold: B.C. father of seven’s prized Lego piece valued at $7,000
When he was young, Matthew Fox of Black Creek imagined he’d become an engineer, which may be behind his love for working with Lego.
“I had a hunch that these were going to be worth something,” said Fox. “I bought two from Toronto, two off of eBay and just held onto them. I’ve needed money over the years, as my hobby has cost a lot. So I’ve sold them off. This is my last one. Building a new house, I don’t want to get rid of him but need some insulation.”
“The biggest thing about Lego investment is the scarcity. It does not flood the market,” said Luke Strauer, co-founder of Brickfact, a Lego enthusiast website. “Millennials are able and willing to spend money on these nostalgic things. They get reminded of its value by having children. Unlike commodities such as gold, Lego still has a real value if you play with it or display it.”
