Lock up your Lego’s
Toy shops in France have been targeted by a gang of international Lego thieves who attempted to steal valuable collectible sets. In this case, three suspects were caught taking boxes of Legos from a toy shop near Paris, with the goal of selling them in Poland. Last month, a man in Oregon was arrested after local police suspected he stole $7,500 worth of Lego toy sets. Lego sets come out in limited editions and they soon become collectors’ items. For example — Lego Café Corner, a set released in 2007 for about $150, can nowadays run up to $3,000 if kept in its original condition. Other sets routinely fetch thousands of dollars in online marketplaces. Some sellers are asking for more than $3,500 for an unopened set of the Lego Millennium Falcon. “Especially during the lockdown period it’s still extremely popular,” says Lego specialist Gerben van IJken. “And Lego sales are still extremely high, not only in the Lego Company itself but on our platform too. We saw a 100% rise in sales over the past year.”
