That’s exactly what Nathan Sawaya did, but he managed to build himself another career brick by brick and now he sells his <b>LEGO masterpieces</b> for thousands of dollars.<br />
<br />
Right now, Nathan has an inventory of 1.5 million LEGO bricks to use on his sculpture...<br />

After spending several weeks designing and setting up our online toy shop we have finally started uploading our product inventory this week.<br />
<br />
Anyone who has sold items on eBay (<i>which is were we started</i>), will know writing the product listings is time consuming. Unfortunately e-commerce shops are no different.We have managed to get the first 100 products 'live' and are now dedicating several hours a day to upload the several hundred more toys we have in stock.<br />
<br />
Next step... marketing!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6224894693689141564-2470811131948927783?l=lifeinatoybox.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>
