Great vid Ryan! Love seeing smaller businesses in their early stages.

[@chupappi626]

Once dad and mom see the bill then they will probably close down 😫

[@Doofledurf]

@@chupappi626 The dude's been doing BrickLink for years. I'm sure the money he makes from that is more than enough to make up for the cost of the store/stock. BrickLink profits are infinitely looping. Buy LEGO, sell it, buy more LEGO with the money you made, and so on. I'm sure every single set in that store was paid for with BrickLink money or money made selling sets in his store.

[@chupappi626]

@@Doofledurf so both his parents helped him... or he was asking for money threw utube or gofund me

[@Doofledurf]

@@chupappi626 Or he had a job as a teenager? It really doesn't take that much money to start up a BrickLink store. You can start a BrickLink store while working in the Burger King drive thru or at any similar job that you'd work as a teen. I don't know why you're acting like it takes some insane amount of money to get something like this up and running. You can spend less than $1,000 (or even less than that if you get really good sales; some people can just spend a couple hundreds dollars) to get a BrickLink store up and running, which can be made in just a few weeks at pretty much any job. And after the initial investment, the LEGO pays for itself and you no longer need to spend any of your own money on it. The fact that you think someone would need financial help when starting a BrickLink store kinda tells me you don't really know anything about starting a BrickLink store.

The world's smallest LEGO store is possibly in Frankfurt/M in Germany with only 4m² or 43 sq feet. Look out for "Held der Steine".

4 sqm was his estimate for the room between the shelves. The entire room is 9 sqm (and there appears to be at least one backroom).

I enjoyed this style of video quite a bit. You do a good job at a "documentary" style Q/A/random visitor style approach. Would you possibly take this the next step and maybe do seasonal "Lego Travels" videos to meet fans/collectors to have them show off their collections to you/give you a tour of their store/space?

„Held der Steine“ begs to differ. His Lego store is so small, the customers can’t enter it and he is selling stuff from the door, but is primarily doing KZbin now. His store is in Frankfurt, Germany.

[@trenbolognasandwich6021]

I love Legos and building blocks in general. 44 years old and been playing since I was a kid. I'm not sure how people pay thousands for just a box when u can get the instructions for free and order each piece from Lego for the original price pretty much. I guess maybe that's collectors only but I hope people realize u can build any set from any era. Also there are other brands and I would never throw out parts. I just built the FunWhole Saloon which came with the lighting and directions were integrated into the steps. Better than any Lego building I've build detail wise, quality and directions. Halfway through the Mould King Islet Bar and same. Would never know. Built the Lego Loop Coaster a few weeks ago too. Basically can enjoy all kinds of sets and hopefully the crazy prices with Lego flatten out some cause those prices were out of this world!

[@bevanml]

"I'm Rick James Bricks" had a shop in Traralgon (Victoria, Australia) until a few years ago which was even smaller than this place. I'd share photos with you but it doesn't exist anymore. He had to close it down due to extended health issues he had at the time.

[@JJarx]

Not going to lie but if this was my local Lego store I'd be going there all the time I like how he made it and got all those sets there by himself and it goes to show he wants to grow as a business stand point I think the small look adds to the perspective that you won't find those for those prices anywhere else (kinda) but yea I like the review hopefully you make another review once he opens his new store
