hi all, i am an OLD lego lover (meaning legos were my everything as a kid)... and a new NEWBIE when it comes to lego HOARDING... i was hoping that i could get some insight and education on the whole "lego investing collecting" experience. this past weekend i went to toys r us and bought 2 lego star wars Y wing fighter sets...priced at $45.99 each... but after BOGO discount (buy 1 get 1 50% off) each set came out to be about $34.45. is this a "tuck it into the closet and forget about it" type of thing? or are there specific lego sets that are meant to be collected and packed away for 10 years... please help...
