LEGO TT Games Dev Brick Collections

Fireheart

I have recently started to collect the Lego TT Games Dev Bricks, and while on Flickr noticed that another Brickset member @samiam391 had an image of their collection. So thought it would be good to see if there are any Brickset members who also collect?

Below is what I have collected so far:

Star Wars The Force Awakens:



Star Wars III The Clone Wars:



Batman:



Marvel Super Hero’s & Marvel Avengers:

They are awarded by TT Games to the developers of their LEGO games for making a substantial contribution to the game. The developer can pick the LEGO character from the game to go inside the brick, and it’s sealed.

Most are obtained direct from the developer, and some on the second hand market...

Things @Fireheart is going to regret every time they think about expanding their collection of LEGO TT Games Dev Bricks in the future:  Posting this thread and driving demand waaaaay up. :P


EDIT: Just saw the Gimli one on eBay for $467.25, and the Voldemort one for $667.50.  Ouch.

Thanks for the info... I will make sure I don't get to liking them then!!!

The dev Bricks have been around for about 10 years, and there are a few collectors out there.. So for the right LEGO theme prices can go quite high.

only a very limited amount are produced for each game title. If you zoom in on each one it has the date of presentation on it.

They are very exclusive, but I often wonder how the long-term market for these will hold up.

For any prospective buyers, recommend the Mods to close and delete this thread! :)

Deadpool in one of those bricks?!? I could see that selling for a tidy sum.

Official LEGO logo + Star Was Or Marvel + 2 mad LEGO collectors = market..

My philosophy on these is that I won’t sell them, but if I have a duplicate i.e. BB-8 (and I think I’m right in saying these are the only 2 BB-8 dev blocks for The Force Awakens), then I’ll do a swap for another dev Brick in Star Wars that I don’t have.

I was wrong there are more than 2 BB-8 TFA blocks.. I know of 6 now.

This is an update of my collection:

Do you have a holy grail in this series?  One you have and one you don't?

Fireheart

^ Yes there is a holy grail for me, the very early ones from 2007 / 2008. Like the first Batman ones, or the Star Wars Complete Saga ones. Like this one:

LuLego

A couple of these have just been listed on eBay (superman and batman) for anyone interested and with a spare £500 each!

LuLego

*not my listing! 
I’m just someone who’s constantly trawling eBay.

Fireheart

Thought it would be a good time to do an update of the collection.. Trade stack on the far left of the image ;)

samiam391

Sounds like there is some trading to be done! :)

Fireheart

^ sorry should have added trade for DC, Marvel, or Star Wars ones that you don’t see I have in the my image.. :)

EvilTwin

Are the figures loose inside their little perspex prisons or stuck down? If you shake the block, do they rattle about?

SumoLego

That is an impressive collection.  I am very happy I didn't start buying those!

Fireheart

^^ They are stuck down, although I have seen a couple of images where the figures legs and torso’s are separated in the block. Don’t know how someone has done that, whilst keeping the block in perfect condition....
Bet the person who did though is crying when they realised what they go for now...

I'm seeing the Laval and Chase McCain ones on eBay right now... must close tab and delete history...

Gooker1

Sweet collections.  That's definitely something I don't want to enter...so many and so elusive.   

Fireheart

I thought I would try something different with the Marvel Captain America brick, as far as I’m aware this is the first TT LEGO brick to be signed. The brick went on a long journey across to ACE Comic Con:

CCC

Unfortunately, it was the wrong Chris Evans that signed it ...

Fireheart

I thought this collection deserves a post. It’s a complete LEGO Marvel TT Brick collection, based on 4 years of LEGO Marvel TT games titles. And as I mentioned on my insta post, I’m very confident that this is the only complete LEGO Marvel TT Games bricks collection in private hands! 

SumoLego

That is an impressive, impressive collection!
