Yield and addiction

Question on yield. I'm a long term investor in the stock market. I love its passive nature, you buy stock, sit back and wait for its dividends to roll in. Investing in Lego is similar to commodity investing. In other forms I hate commodity investing, if you're stuck with a commodity that doesn't go up, you can't even take solace in the fact it will be paying dividends while it's in the doldrums. Lego on the other hand has this strange addictive pull, I don't know what it is that attracts me to it, generally I hate non passive investments (by non passive I mean the fact you have to box the products up and ship them hoping you don't catch a bad buyer that derails any profit from your hoard, not to mention the hoard itself, my office looks like a Lego shop more than an office) Due to some recent news articles on Lego as a viable investment form, I can see a lot more people jumping on the bandwagon lately, thus I see everyone's yields being put under pressure for a short time until those Johnny-come-lately investors get their fingers burnt and walk away. What's the minimum yield you guys would do this for? Personally if I don't get more that 15% a year from the time I've held an item, I consider it a waste of time and wish I'd just put the money in to the stock market with my other savings. I fear my current stock may take some time to shift thus reducing my over all yield target. My other question is, why is Lego investing so addictive? Is it just it's accessibility (i.e. Low buy in) or is it just the game of working out what sets will make you Lego rich? MoonKill.
