For 35-year-old New Jersey native, Shane O'Farrell, buying and selling Lego was never considered a lucrative option to earn extra cash. For him, getting an unassuming Fort Legoredo was a chance to reconnect with his childhood in Ireland, with the set holding a special place in his memories and eventually fueled his passion to collect.

Two decades later, seeing the Fort Legoredo set selling for hundreds more than its original $85 price in 1996 sparked a business idea for the enterprising individual. Shane O'Farrell swiftly dove into the thriving online market for buying and reselling coveted Lego sets. The very set that sparked his childhood joy now commands a staggering $2,405 on Amazon.
