Michael’s $46,500 LEGO collection from California

Two years of collecting, a drive of over 30 hours and $46,500 paid. Michael brought his California collection to Wapi instead of selling it item by item.

Two years of collecting, together in one room

Michael had accumulated this collection in just two years. After unpacking it at Wapi, even he was surprised by how much LEGO he had bought. The photo above captures the scale of the collection with Zach sitting in front of the assembled sets.

Michael found Wapi through social media and sent us his list. He then drove over 30 hours from California to our store in West Bend, Wisconsin. We paid him $46,500 for the collection.

Choosing one purchase over individual sales

With a demanding work schedule and a move to Indiana ahead, Michael did not want to spend his available time selling the sets individually. Our published account explains that the proceeds would help with bills and the move.

The video follows the collection arriving at Wapi and the conversation behind the sale. It is a real example of a seller choosing a single collection purchase to turn a substantial LEGO collection into funds for the next stage of life.
