  • Awesome podcast

    I listen to podcasts every day, and this is fast becoming a favorite. As an unabashed AFOL, it’s so gratifying to have a safe space to revel in the Easter eggs and idiosyncrasies of the world’s best “toy”. Their Instagram page is also worth checking out, they do some glorious MOCs. Well done, guys.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Brick Value Index - AFOLs Welcome: Episode 95
Q: What are some future features or metrics you'd like to add to BrickValue index?
The creator expects many possible metrics, including spare pieces, piece rarity, color variations, and potentially additional dimensions of value that can be added as the data ecosystem around LEGO inventories grows, while acknowledging scope creep and data availability challenges.
Brick Value Index - AFOLs Welcome: Episode 95
Q: Would you say there are limitations to this model compared with price-to-part metrics?
Yes, there are limitations such as missing pricing for licensed minifigs and sticker sheets; the model uses conservative assumptions in those cases, but it provides a broader view of set value by focusing on piece-level value rather than just the overall price-to-part ratio.
Brick Value Index - AFOLs Welcome: Episode 95
Q: How does an index work, specifically, when price is removed from the calculation?
The index aggregates the cumulative value of individual pieces in a set, using standardized pricing data, and compares that total to the retail price to yield a ratio that reflects replaceability value rather than just sticker price; it becomes more accurate as more pieces are priced over time.
BRICKA Magazine - AFOLs Welcome: Episode 86
Q: What does success look like for BRICKA?
Success for Sam means becoming a significant part of the adult LEGO community and maintaining a high-quality publication that continues to engage and inspire readers.
BRICKA Magazine - AFOLs Welcome: Episode 86
Q: How did you become an AFOL?
Sam shares that he always loved building with LEGO as a child, transitioning through childhood into adulthood and finding ways to engage with LEGO even more after becoming a father.
