Why don't you go away, do some googling of how much money there is to be made in rare lego collecting and then come back

I hope it’s true because I still have heaps of these silly bricks lying somewhere on my grandma’s attic. I hold your word on it that they are now worth a fortune

Let’s keep them for a bit more appreciation and compound interest then…

Move out of the way blue chips, plastic chips are the real investing. Who needs bricks of gold when you have bricks of finest danish plastic?

Misc bricks aren't worth anywhere near as much as full sets (unless you happen to have some of the rarer bricks people are after)

Okay but you get the point. This is not investment, this is playground. No one buys Lego thinking “oh they will make me rich if I just keep them unopened for next 20 years” cmon

A hell of a lot of people do and make a lot of money from it

Plenty of people do exactly that. I'm not advocating that you do it (I think you will end up wasting your money), but plenty of people do exactly that.
