Point 1 - don’t buy retired Lego.
Point 5 - don’t buy Lego before it’s retired.

Why do some adults have to ruin everything. Lego is there to be enjoyed, not invested in. It's there to be built, played with, displayed, not profited off

[EchoBaseplates]

Jabba’s Palace is a good retired one to invest in. We will never see a remake of that one ever again.

The fact that most of non investing community hates people large scale investors like you because you don't leave anything for the fans that don't want to buy the 501st specialists battle pack for $50

Like other forms of "investing, " it's extremely difficult to pick winners; and if a set is 50% off, it's likely because it sucks the big one. Fortunately, there are still millions of people who just buy Lego because they like Lego, and are not trying to get-rich-quick selling to other Star Wars fanatics.

I’m going all in on the Republic Fighter Tank. It’s a Target exclusive, 1 and 1/2 years shelf life very short shelf life and very desirable minifigures such as the unique clone troopers and the Mace Windu with the arm printing.

Why are all younger Youtubers and Ticktockers shouting all the time? It's exhausting to listen to. :D

[SkyLizardGirl]

Why are people investing in Star Wars of all LEGO sets?? It is an Evergreen franchise, possibly Harry Potter is also. Go for sets that are insured to not be remade.

[ElectroDieselLocomotive]

aren't lego "investors" basically scalpers?
edit: looks like i was wrong about this

[richardcarter]

So….

Don’t buy sets which have already retired and don’t by sets which are not due to retire…..

Right

[stefan]

man where do i find castles...in store there is 0...why they no longer make King castles???

[XoXoVENOMoXo]

Only set recently that I would say will have major resell value is the daily bugle because the first appearance of 4 minifigs

[kvitulv]

Is this basically a vid for becoming a scalper? You know those despicable ones who drive up the prices for everyone else?

[balbuzard]

the ghost already lost all its value because lego released a better one, stop mentioning it as if it was an unique set like cloud city

[mungogerryjnr]

First two depend on having stock

Australia doesn’t
US does

🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Maybe in two years Australia will be flooded and discounted and US starved

But I doubt it

[gregleuze]

Buy what you enjoy so if what you buy for “investment” will be enjoyed even if the monitory value disappears.

My walmart barely ever does lego on clearance.

[marcfie]

"Investing"/speculating on modern Lego is BS, because everybody and their mother is doing it, but Lego is not concentrating on creating nostalgia in todays kids, who would be tomorows collectors.
Scalping in the short term might work on one Lego set or the other, but on the long term all those "investors" with their unopened boxes will lose money.
Vintage Lego has real collectability at the moment, because 80s/early 90s Lego in box is rare. Nobody speculated on it, it was a toy to be played with. Tomorrows market with todays Lego will be oversaturated like the crashed market of 90s comic books or Beany Babies.

The only mistake you've made is by thinking Lego is a good investment. To buy a house or sustain your life buying lego and investing in it will not get you anywhere in life.

[michellewhitley]

Bullshit most of the time Amazon and Walmart don’t have no damn 50% off. You better be glad you can find a damn item before it gets retired.
