I ran a Bricklink store for a year after collecting/storing for about 5 years. Thousands of dollars in revenue but just a few hundred in profit. Can definitely confirm everything he says in this video.

I'm not collecting them to sell, I'm collecting them because they're simple and beautiful and because they make me happy

Tip #7: Don't invest in Lego sets that just got released as they need to sit on the shelf way too long. Invest in retiring sets instead which are usually announced in Q4.

Now that I entirely saw the video this is the best and most realistic overview of lego investing I have ever saw.

I try to invest in sets I think might do well, but if they flop I’ll be more than happy to add the model or parts into my collection.

As someone who invests in Lego starwars I dont typically have any issues selling sets, the fanbase is so large and diverse that almost any set someone wants. Obviously there’s some factors that play into that heavily like; exclusive figures, current media, and over all build quality that play in how popular a given set is after it retires. But in my opinion still a worth while investment.

Watched this the night before I was about to drop multiple thousands on retired sets through Marketplace. You slapped me back to attention. I'll keep collecting for sure, but you're right it's not all roses out there. Thank you!

Wow, your way of speaking is so kind and reassuring, you emit positive energy!

Some points I'd want to add: --- Seasonal sets, especially the Winter Village series, have generally increased in price over the years. Not alot of people would buy it at release, but there's always this market of new people trying to get the older sets in order to complete their village-- and unlike the Modular series, there's a smaller market pool availability on it. --- Short-lived themes tend to appreciate in value over time, especially if they get discontinued prematurely. Good examples would be the Mystery Castle from Hidden Side and the Vidiyo Bandmates Series 2. Whilst the former has the added benefit of being a "seasonal set" (since there's a Halloween LEGO community that tends to buy it as well as the Monster Fighters Haunted House and Mystery Mansion from Scooby Doo), the latter was directly affected by scarcity, even after you saw those same figs being sold as discounted stocking stuffers during Christmas as stores were trying to sell them to cover losses. I also believe that Overwatch will increase in value over time as well due to the minifig design and amount of unique elements specific to that theme. --- SDCC items... those have an immediate uptick on market value due to exclusivity and are most guaranteed to not be re-released in normal set production, particularly the packs with a single minifig.

Another key tip is if the source material is flopping, the merchandise will flop too. The flash bombed at the box office which explains is why they are trying to retire the batcave so fast. Sorceror sanctum is getting retired fast since recent mcu movies like ant man 3, marvels are bombing. So not exactly huge demand for the merch. Plus lego has to pay licensing fees which affect their bottom line

Great video and a very interesting direction for the content expansion. Please continue!

Usually I buy used ones, disassemble and reassemble them for fun, for possibly reselling them later for the same price I bought them. This makes it a free hobby. If I repackage them in plastic bags, they might even sell at a higher price.

Since the release the Technic Racers series in 1999, l have been collecting and building Lego. The real value of the Lego experience is actually in the modifications and improvements that one can explore within that car design series. ('Brickself: Lego Transpod') I did at one time tried to justified my purchases by an investing mindset. Most of those sets proved to be a great stock for the exploration of really cool design options...(the transverse engine.) More resently l have noticed more than a growing interest in the investing of sealed sets...never to be played with or shared . More than 20 years forward now...we all have gone through different times...and experiences... hopefully the actually playing, building, modifing...and sharing will remain our main purpose for our interest in Lego.

Hi Simon, you’ve made some great points here and hit the nail on the head when you mentioned buying the right sets. There’s also the competition you’re going to face as more people do seem to be buying investment sets these days. I personally don’t buy investment sets but do occasionally sell some due to a change of heart with the ones I bought with the intention to build. I think you have to be a Lego collector or investor as with the point you made being a collector will sway your opinion on what you think other people will like in the future.

Really great video. I like your tip on investing in lines with a series/collection. The Tie Fighter helmet is a great example (helmet, limited supply).

Hi there - BEFORE COMMENTING: Please make sure you have watched the FULL video to listen to BOTH sets of points. I.e. the 7x reasons why I (now) consider investing in Lego to be a bad idea AND the 6x Lego investing tips that I've learnt to help make investing in Lego successful. I'm seeing a lot of comments that make it clear people haven't watched the back 3rd of the video where I go into Lego investing tips like ensuring you buy sets you intend to invest in on sale/at discounted pricing. Also my UCS Snowspeeder purchase example was a once-off mistake and was back in a time when the UCS Millennium Falcon (the older one) was selling for up to $5000! That was a different time with different thinking where pricing like that for some sets was 'normal', now of course I'd never buy an investment Lego set aftermarket. The important point I was actually making is that set-releases are becoming more common place and can adversely impact your ability to sell-off any superseded Lego sets that you may be holding as investments. On the whole though it's be really good to have some constructive commentary on this topic - both for and against. Thank you to all! 🙂

I sooooo need3d this video right now. I get sucked into hype sometimes and the lego resale hype is high right now. Much much appreciated!!

Thanks for the great video.. well set out and presented 👍.. it definitely lowered my expectations on what is realistic before getting in lego investing.. what do you think about the idea of buying mid range sets from popular themes like Star wars and for longterm investing (10 to 20+ years)? Ive been thinking about doing this on a small scale, but its difficult to to find current examples or 'vintage' new in box lego set to analyse the prices..

This is true for investing in collectibles in general. I always have to laugh when people dismiss the idea of a core-satellite portfolio because "picking individual stocks is gambling", but then proceed to tell me how they've invested into trading cards, watches or any other sort of super-hard-to-resell article. No thank you, I'd rather buy more Microsoft and Danaher stocks.

my Lego Mania era took place in the mid 2010s. was easy to find People who hadnt got a sense of what they were selling, or were generous and understood theyre just basically selling a bunch of printed plastic... Good Times. Glad i collected most of the minifigures i wanted before everything got deemed rare and expensive.

This is a really well done video, great job! This should have more views lol. I personally am currently just a Bricklink seller that sells parts and Minifigures, and I haven’t gotten too much into the investment side of things due to space constraints and me not being able to wait for a set to go up in value 😂

Great tips and good advice! Definitely worth thinking twice about!

I’ve been investing for about the same amount of time (since 2015). I’ve had some big hits and some real losers. Some sets take a while to see a decent return and some jump 50% immediately on retirement. It’s more of a hobby than a true investment to me, as there is no way to make a real large investment with the amount of space it takes. But, after 7 years, I’ve gotten better at picking sets and knowing what will do well. My worst investment was the original UCS Batman Tumbler. Ended up selling it 6 years later for the same amount I bought it for.

I agree. It’s a bad idea. There is always risk of the bottom falling out from under investors. So many people trying to invest will end up unloading their inventory for cheap. Never pay retail either. I purchased a brand new sealed UCS AT-AT for $600, when it retails for $850. Purchased a UCS Landspeeder new sealed for $120, when it retails for $240. Sure, these aren’t everyday deals…but they’re out there. And the hunt makes it fun.

This is one of the best lego videos period. Subscribed

In my experience it just isn't worth the time, space or effort. I found myself selling off my investments since some of them got extended by another year last minute.

So far my tastes have been pretty spot on with their worth later on in years. Just makes me regret not getting multiple sets but at the same time I don't want to sell my sets at all(I did in 2017 when I was down bad for money and regret it all). I do trade in some surprises that I have to rebuild when they become a ton of money later on(since I pieced them out originally). Ninjago Dawn of Iron Doom, bought two for $10 each as an example. It's just nice knowing my hobby isn't fruitless when times get tough. I only buy what I like not what I think a set is gonna be down the line. So far so good.

Reason 8: You can't liquidate it quickly if you really need the money. I just try to get rid of my collection of movie posters and merchs and this is a serious problem. Even if there is a large collector market left it takes time to find customers for the specific set (and unless you go very cheap they also prefer to wait for you or others go lower). And Reason 9: It's for poor people. Investing more then in $100,000 is only possible if you build an additional storage room.

The Christmas themed sets are almost always a great idea. A new one comes out each year, almost always a $99 set. The original Christmas train goes for $500 now, even though there was a re-release in 2016, that is much more modern looking. The 2016 goes for $250-300. I’m living in Mexico for 1 year, where the elf club house is on clearance for $80, meanwhile in the US it is completely sold out, and is going for $150-200 on eBay. It’s very tempting to buy 10 of them, store them for a year, and sell them in a year when I’m back in the states. Of course I’m keeping one (maybe 2?) for myself :)

Thank you for the time, effort, and information you put into this video! I am an adult Lego fan experiencing a new wave of Lego craze from my childhood days. I recently became interested in the resale market and have been looking for solid advice. After watching your video, I believe that my investment in Lego will be smaller than planned. It is not something that I aim to make a lot of money at, but rather my goal is to facilitate my own hobby. Thanks again and I look forward to watching your other videos.

Great video, would love to see more videos in this style. What are your opinions on investing in LEGO mini-figures? Many LEGO mini-figures seem to rapidly rise in price especially if they are part of a popular theme like Star Wars and depict relevant characters. Although parting out sets for mini-figures presents a problem buying figures on bricklink when the sets are in still in production then reselling later seems as if it could be a viable strategy.

I bought a ton of sets i never built and they sit in a stack on my floor. They are worth a ton now. It blows my mind. I bought all the LOTR ring sets years ago. They sold terribly and i picked up so many in the discount section of Walmart. Now they are worth a TON. Nothing i did was planned. Just ended up that way. Blows my mind what legos are worth. Its just plastic lol.

Fantastic video. By the way would be great to see a tour of your collection

Great information! Thank you!

Good video. I'd caveat the "don't invest in small sets" tip, as it depends on the theme. Some Architecture sets go for good money once they're discontinued. Same with some of the helmet/cowl sets like the Tie Fighter.

Great video, I found it very informative and thought-provoking. Your analysis of the Lego investment market and the challenges it poses are very astute. Your seven reasons for why investing in Lego is not a good idea are especially noteworthy and your insights into the competition for people's money, the sheer volume of high-quality Lego products being produced and the mixed to average results of your own experience investing in Lego provide valuable insights for others considering this type of investment.

Thank you. Your video is very informative for someone like myself that has only been going about investing for 6 months. Did you ever use Amazon as your selling platform or just eBay and BrickLink?

Good video and solid points. During Covid plenty of people where getting into the game and making easy money. The market has changed now and people are struggling to flip their titanic’s and back to the future cars for profit like they used to.

Great video, thank you much! As a parent, who buys occasionally sets for my kids and thought about start investing in it, couldn't agree more, specially in #1 and #3. Recently, the choice is so huge, so there is no reason to buy old set for increased price, but just to scoop a new set for discount. Each themes have unlimited varieties to choose from. As per buying from someone - yes, I realize that the person want to get a profit and i respect this, but I want to get a deal. So I polite way usually offer my price, and if there is no agreement - simply moving on to other seller who will be more flexible...

👍🏽Excellent video, I’m happy that the KZfaq algorithm sent this my way. Question: when do you think investing in LEGO became a thing? My guess would be around 1999 and up since that was when TLG acquired the SW license (which contributed greatly to their comeback and popularity).

thank you. this helped me out. good video good explaining.

Solid video. I am now rediscovering all my old childhood Lego sets from my attic and finding they have increased massively in value, so am considering getting into LEGO investing more seriously. This video raised some good points. It seems to me that Lego Star Wars is generally a solid investment due to the enduring popularity of the franchise. Some sets that I purchased for around $5 as a child are now worth upwards of $50, even second hand! Being able to hold for the medium - longer term seems to be key.

I’m a big believer in buy and hold. I look for good deals on eBay and then just hold them for a very long time. I guess I’m trying to build a collection that would’ve enthralled me as a child. I want my brothers children to step in to my “museum” and just be amazed with it all. I don’t even know if I will ever sell the sets. Im seeking out acrylic boxes to keep all of my sealed sets in to keep them locked in to their condition.

Thanks for a great video!

To me as a 22 years old, who grew up with most of the subthemes such as Ultra Agent, Agents, Pharaoh's Quest, and one licensed Theme (DC Comics) and still is collecting it, and in a process of making builds of My own... LEGO is not a jewel, but a Toy for Kids starting from the age of 0-4 years old, not 30 years old, as WOODY would say... Yes I named some of important themes that has been part of my teen years, but ever since the success of THE LEGO MOVIE, it made this company a Jewel Company, targeting ADULTS, just let's face it.

Great video with good arguments against investing. I will say there are a few exceptions to your points that I’ve experienced as an investor. I also feel that there one major factor was not discussed. To my first point. When a new Lego set is released and does sell out, that window of time when it isn’t available can be extremely advantageous. As an example, when a new Speed Champions set is released and is highly anticipated, it will typically sell out fast and be put on a 30-60 day backorder. During this time, there will be a lot of people who missed the initial release and were waiting for that set. In my experience I’ve been able to sell every set I was able acquire fairly easily during that backorder period. As long as you are not gouging prices, people will pay that premium rather than wait. I typically can sell as many as I can get my hands on within 24-48 hours of posting it for that 1-2 month period. So even though it is a small set, if you sell say 25 of them with a 25-50% ROI, that’s a tidy profit. My second observation …the time of year when to sell is extremely important. I will agree that recently the influx of quantity of product has changed the resale market. It wasn’t long ago that during the holidays you would find every single set sold out online for over a month. Still, that time of year can be extremely profitable if you plan for it…Happy to see Voltron representing, wish I had bought more at the time. Well done.

Depends on an individuals commitment. The biggest obstacle is storage.

Came across your video and was wondering if you recommend that I buy the Lego Creator Lion Castle set as an investment as Creator sets I've seen tend to get retired and go up in price over time?

Great video, thanks for the well thought out reasons. Think I'll stick to buying and building and leave the investments to those with less risk aversion lol

Awesome video! I bought a couple clone packs and the Star Wars cantina set to invest in. My idea was that the cantina is going to be a a great collectors set and the price will increase by a lot in the future, for the clone packs I plan on waiting a while until they retire and there isn’t any Star Wars sets with a lot of a clones so I can sell them for around 30 since the demand for clones are high and they’re popular, I’m also planning on buying the daily bugle set to sell in a couple years, I don’t know if that’s a good idea or not this is my first time trying this out and would like some advice!

Great! thank you!

I don’t buy extra sets to make a profit so much as to make enough to help pay for the sets I really want to keep. It’s a lower bar to meet. And gifts with purchase really help to this end.

Very good video the problem is Lego is rating prices to the point where people can’t afford new sets and the global economic situation is making it difficult to sell

Interesting points. You assume from the outset that investors buy at retail price. Ideally you buy at discount. And even, better at clearance price. Not everything gets discounted of course. Variety is actually a double edged sword. It means not all bets will pay off. Just like how the stock market plays out. You have to try and pick the winners. If you don’t like risk, then Investing in general is not for you. Selling Lego for profit is not difficult. See top point. The difficulty is that people think you will earn millions. Or that prices will only ever go up and never hit a plateau or go down.

Don't invest in Lego at all, buy the sets you love for your collection and if you get lucky selling a few in the future, more power to you.

Awesome vid! I need to get my backside into gear to sell an accidental investment from many years ago. I was ordering 2 sets of a UCS release, one for me and one for a mate, when it looked like the purchase capped at a single set, as they were limited to one per transaction. I immediately bought a second after that, only to find the first two had gone through by some quirk or bug in the checkout process. It's been in it's postal box, completely sealed since. Hahaha Thanks for some great insights and tips!

Sold my UCS Slave 1 for $500. Sold my Tantive IV 1st gen for $340. Sold the 4x4 Crawler for $450 (used). So far, I am hitting the mark on which sets are hot items. I will always buy at less than MSRP, if possible (for LEGO investing). I sold a few discontinued MegaBloks Call of Duty sets too, and received quite a bit of money (used and new).

#6 Buy soon to be retired sets, even if price will be bit higher than year prior, you end up with much shorter turnover, buying set on release and freez money for 3 years before retiring is not a good idea when you could turn this money two times giving you better value over time. Great video, i think every new investor should watch it and answer those points themselves. I any of it are problem for you, dont bother. I know im ready for the ups and downs, and want to continue this road :)

Thank you this is helpful

Reason 3 hits so hard. I'm trying to off load some sets I don't want anymore for less than anywhere they can be found online, and people are still trying to get a 50% discount on top of that.

Bit late to the party but my dad runs a Bricklink store where he partouts sets and then sells the parts individually, as that brings up way more than waiting 5 years and selling the set. All of the profit can be used for our own Lego project, so it's really just an investment. He's very busy with it tho and it's definitely not something you can live off on your own, and he's slowly starting to realise it's maybe a bit too much haha

A great video with good points. For me investing is not something to get rich of: it's a bit of a sport, with the ultimate goal to have my lego hobby fund itself. How cool is it if all the lego I want is paid for by the profit from the sets I sell. I'm not there yet, but slowly creeping towards this goal. I also have the mentality that if a set is not doing well, I always still have the lego in it. I can part it out and build something myself if it does not do well. I think quite a few people see those promises that it does better than gold, and expect that this is a get money quick scheme. But just like with other markets, you have to know the product you invest in to have a chance of making a profit. Not every set is a goldmine.

The good thing with lego Investments is if it doesn't work out, you still have a set to build and have fun with. You can't really lose

Casual seller here (sold 13 sets in the last year). I wholeheartedly agree with your assessment. If I may I would add a few more points. For buyers: Potential loss due to a scammer or transport damage which can lead to a resale price loss. For sellers: Packing boxes and negotiating selling prices is quite a boring job. You might want to do something more challenging in your life. If you like boring jobs, then there are tons of them out there that pay perfectly fine and offer way more security and benefits.

I buy the sets that get reduced pricing at the Lego brand stores and sets with rare characters or pieces. I’ve purchased a bunch of reduced $97 USD The Hobbit: The Lonely Mountain, as the Smaug figure (still one of the largest Lego characters with the least pieces) is the highlight of the set. And it’s a set that potentially would have a larger gap in time before a reissue. I’m planning on holding onto them and selling most of them only until a re-release of the theme is rumored to re-emerge the next year.

Majority of my collection and buying / selling is Pokémon (TCG) I have a sealed Lego collection. Mostly vintage castle sets I love and want in my collection long term. Seeing the proliferation of KZfaqrs “investing” in sealed Lego seems doomed to fail for all the reasons you mentioned, when the market becomes saturated there will be a flood of horders exiting. Not every set is special and should command a premium. Very bizarre, at least with TCG, they are “collectible” in the sense sealed product to get the cards is finite and they are easy to ship.

I am sorry but I do not agree with this idea of not investing in Lego. I have been collecting Lego for 10 years now and I have been investing in Lego for the last 5 1/2 to 6 years and it has been EXTREMELY profitable for me. It all depends on what sets you are buying and for what price. Lego does nothing but just increase. Some sets more than others but for the most part it increases. As for Lego raising their prices and it effecting investing, well there will always be tons of buyers that want sets after they retire and I have sold sets for triple what I paid for them 8-9 months after they retire quite often. Lego is a GREAT investment! Way better than gold. The prices and market for gold go up and down too much. Lego sets will always increase in value if you hold them long enough and buyers will always want them due to the rarity of them once they retire. Everyone is free to have their own opinion and listen to whoever they want but for me, Lego is a gold mine!

Interesting video. Some of the old Marvel stuff is hard to get and pretty expensive. To your point, its a part of a series and I can see why I might pay the premium.

Im investing in a quite a few sealed lego sets but, I'd rather invest more in certain minifigures. I'm investing in about 20 sealed star wars and batman sets just bought them recently because these ones are going to retire before or at the end of 2022. I don't really want to go broke off buying lego so I watch how I am spending.

It was interesting to hear your views and listen to your opinions, i invest in sets but only certain ones. I don't invest in this that and everything.

I think a lot of people posting about their investing in Legos are just trying to brag and they don't really have what they say. Aside from that you can still make a lot as long as you don't try to do what everyone else is minus a few sets such as Sesame.

Nice video. Finally a channel that shows all sides to this. Wd.

I have come to the same conclusion so instead I am a reseller who now buy new and used lego to sell as parts. In the past I used to flip , buy cheap and sell on ebay. I still do that but it's even more money in parts. But it takes time and effort.

I agree! I do the buy 1, stock 1 to sell later to fund my hobby of collecting. I think a lot of folks are going to get recked in the next few years.

Great video!

Hey Simon, here again. Your video just became more relevant today as in...the Tree House is on sale for $175 @ Amazon. This was a set I invested in just before the pandemic. This set is a poster child for not to invest. Keep up with your videos though.

I sometimes get asked by ebay time wasters -"What's the lowest price you'll accept for this item?" My reply - "What's the highest price you'll pay?" Stops the conversation pretty quickly. Just chanced upon your channel - quality video.

Thanks for the video mate. I own an absolute carp-load of lego, so I find your video very disturbing / jarring / troubling. But it is thought provoking, and probably the reality check I needed. My wife will be thrilled with your video since it might help me reduce my lego activities. I have many points to make regarding the pros/cons of purchasing lego for profit, but one negative point I want to make which doesn’t get much attention is the environmental ethics. And I have struggled with this for many years, but choose to ignore for some stupid reason… Lego is made out of plastic. Increasing its demand is a bad idea; the environment does not win in any way. More importantly, people (like me) posting boxes of lego around the country/world to each other, only for them to hold and store, and then sell and post to someone else, does not help the environment. This process has some purpose if someone actually opens up a box and enjoys the lego, with minimal postage involved. But a box of lego that simply circulates the planet for a bunch of idiot investors like me to make a potential profit is a waste of resources. I really struggle with this point. Lego is bulky. There are many better ways of investing your money which don’t have such a negative impact on the wellbeing of our planet.

I now have invested in Lego and have a good selection that I think will do well. I realised it’s a great investment when I wanted the Saturn 5 retail £105 but I really wanted it so paid £175 for it. I don’t regret it except it did get re released. Definitely demand if the set is right.

Hi there, I’ve only just come across your channel and this being the first of your videos I’ve watched. Can I firstly say what a great video this is and secondly, you explain your reasons with a very valid opinion. As an investor in the UK for over 10 years, I have to agree with all of your reasons and to be perfectly honest with the living crisis hitting everywhere and everyone, this is the first year I have not invested into retiring sets. This is firstly due to me monitoring the current situation, secondly monitoring the secondary markets to see the hit on retired sets selling and finally for myself to wait and see what Q4 brings in my personal sales. My personal opinion on your video is that I agree that this is a very bad time for any new Lego investor, not because I want to stop competition but because the market is currently flooded with new sellers trying to make a quick buck. And that’s on top of all your valid points. Great to find your channel and look forward to future videos!!

I feel as the better sets to invest in would be creator expert and technic scale cars.

Ive only been buying sets that I like (ex. 2 of the new AT-TEs) so that if they dont skyrocket, im not out a bunch of money because theyre sets I can use. I also only plan on buying sets to resell for a little bit more money down the road so that I can reuse that money to buy lego sets from when I was a kid back in the early 2000's.

Create price alerts for the sets you want. Especially new sets and set it to about 20 percent off. Often comes that the best price is somewhere during the middle of it's lifetime. Almost any set goes down by 30 percent at some point, technic sets easily by 40, bought some friends set at 50. You have to understand that at a certain point the price can't go any lower before it gets shady business somehow. If you are too close to end of life you might see prices already rising again or already out of stock. For me I care less how long I have to hold it, more important is what I paid for.

i know someone who invested in lego sets around the late 80s till late 1990, i remember seeing a photo of a shelf with about 10 copies of the 6990 futuron monorail alopng 5 copied of 6990 message intercept base. thats over 35k profit just for these...

I never buy a set with the intention to sell later. I have bought hundreds of older "rare" sets at retail or less than retail cost. Why would I use space to store sets for zero profit? I do have a ton of duplicate sets that I bought on discount or on purpose as I felt they were a great value, I've checked if they would be worth it to sell but it just doesn't make any sense. I'm better off to just dump the parts into my collection rather than sell on ebay and have to pay fees and possibly shipping as well. Heck I'd give them away before I did that!

Purchased a new in sealed bag chrome darth vader fig for 120 and sold it a month later for 375…just to find another one for 100. Depends on what exactly you’re investing in regarding theme, age, and condition

Lego used to be bought for the fun of playing with it, not hoping it would "Hold it's value"...new world!

This is an excellent and refreshing video. Personally for me I've gone for the 4 technic supercar sets. I bought four of the range in used condition for my personal use. I will display them in cases. I also bought three of the supercars as investment. (At good prices I paid) New brand new/sealed. I will sit on these for a few years and see what happens. As you say running to the post office every 5 minutes on smaller sets isn't for me. Great channel mate and just subscribed. 👍

I think I want to start investing in Lego. I've found some sets that seem good that are on sale. How many sets do you think is a good amount to start with?

Well said.

you are telling me that after i have spend more then €150 on closed boxes these 3 months ;) regardless, thank you for making this video, it is extremely helpful and i have learned i did everything wrong over the last months haha

With walmarts crazy sales and finding $30 sets at $10 and $40+ sets at $20 at my LGS, how can I not invest. I was looking for a video on super mario lego investing but found this and I enjoyed it very much. Subbed.

What do you think about investing in the new galaxy explorer?

Very good video. Just one point on smaller sets...I do not agree that one does not generate higher profit from some of them. The ghost busters car being referred to in the video is an example of insane potential profit that could be made....so to say avoid...uh I am not sure :)

In 2020 I Lost the interest in Lego and stopped buying sets and sold everything except my lego trains. I've been in the model railway hobby since 2020, Lego was a good time but it's not the same as it used to be in my opinion.

I resell here and there, but the most annoying are people asking for lower prices. Not even that, but insultingly low offers. I think it is especially prevalent right now because of the economy. They don’t want to pay market value and they prey on people they think need the money. I want to tell these people sometimes if they want lower go try and find it somewhere else. I do only buy sets now on discount late in their cycle, just because when they retire I can typically get RRP for a used set. I’m not into storing sets to sell later, but if I get tired of a set most times I can get at least what I paid for it back.

Great video! I think on the small scale "investing" is ok, however it will never be a miraculous Eldorado to gain quick fortune. This applies to almost any sort of investment.

I bough 3 of the nee Avatar sets, and I will give a try on selling them. In my country Lego retails for 2 or 3 times the US retail price so I will test the waters. My choice was based on a set that can be collectible and from a very popular franchise and Movie. I avoided the Ilu (cheapest set). Any thoughts or advice are welcome

Good video I have got some sets from ebay that were lower then lego retail price. And I can say that I buy lego to build it and hold it to hope to sell it used if I need too but don't plan on selling it any time soon. I have go some without boxes and some with damaged boxes hope I do well, and I hope many of you do well too
