You may be surprised to hear that there is a demand for Lego car replicas. I used to be into cars, my dream car was the Camaro, when it got discontinued, I was scorned. However I can at least get the Lego version of it in 2024.

Dreams will always be dreams in some case, but at least I can get a Camaro in Lego form at 2024.

It is strange but people are making a living from building cars using Legos, and the search engine don’t lie. I went on Etsy and found so many people selling Lego cars for A living or at least a side hustle.

They can get pretty creative, where you can stick them on a wall, or have it on a stand like a statue. It’s wild I never heard of this when I was into cars during my younger days.

Heck, even adults that I know in person would invest in Legos, despite the amount of space it takes up in your bedroom, people just for some reason loves it with a passion.

How They Do It

Finding the custom part for example a car door, is not possible, it has to be custom made. Which can happen at rebrickable.com. It’s a websites where fans go and build custom models of a Lego piece, upload it, and the company will make it for you.

Or people will invest in a 3d printer and custom print it themselves. Either method is fine long as it gets the job done.

Then they either build a website through Shopify or Squarespace and sell the merchandise themselves. I personally like this method more, because it give the product a more premium feeling.

People that sell their Lego car replicas on Etsy or Facebook usually sells some mass produced Legos that can’t be disassembled. Which I wouldn’t really call a Lego replica, but it’s marketing, you can twist technicality to your advantage if it helps with your business.

If you do sell through Esty or eBay you will have to shell out commission, which I personally don’t like, but it does save you the trouble of marketing your goods. I would say start this first to get SEO optimization and then build your site later on.

Am I Fit To Run A Business

Honestly if you do start you will have to learn how to market, because Lego is not a necessity. Unlike cleaning or medical service, Legos is a form of entertainment, you have to sell it as a entertainment that is worth money.

If you are just good at building Legos, that might not be enough to start a car replica business. I didn’t know about this until I was talking to a subscriber about this.

How To Market

Now you don’t have to be perfect with marketing, you can market fine with just SEO alone through Etsy, but it won’t make you enough money to make a living off of it.

Personally I would market through Google ads, you may think Facebook is better, but Facebook is catered towards older people, and they have little interest in Legos.

Young folks, younger than me are interested in Legos because they want to live out their favorite fantasies through something simple like Legos.

I too like to live out my fantasies, but in the form of anime figurines.

You don’t have to rely on your talent, you may network with other Lego replica creators to learn new building techniques. When I started a newsletter I didn’t know what I was doing, I only know how to be consistent. After 2 months of working in futility I decided on a random whim to subscribe to other successful newsletter owners I realize I was making a whole bunch of mistakes left and right.

You don’t necessarily have to change your style 100 percent. With learning from other people you can adapt the good and filter out the bad.

There is a method called Pareto Principle, also known as the 80/20 method. You should experiment with 20 percent and keep doing what is right by 80 percent. that way you can may changes without weirding anyone out.
