Jake...awesome content video, as always, but I'm afraid that you are wrong about the Coliseum...remember what happened to the first version of the set behind your shoulders.

You actually may have a point here…
Hey Jake! Here in Germany, the Galaxy Explorer was never heavily discounted, you can only buy it for 10% off at some retailers. Those 50% off are absolutely unimaginable here. So do you think that changes anything for investing in this set for us? Enjoyed the video, as always. All the best!

Galaxy explorer May new better in Germany!
Could not agree more about the Winter Village series. I have stopped buying them as well unless there is a killer sale on them which is very rare for that line.

True true!
I was actually pleasantly surprised that the two retired stadiums did so well, at least compared to the discounted prices LEGO gave at the end of their shelf lives! The Camp Nou was available for less than €200 at LEGO and is now regularly selling for around 40% more than that on Bricklink, better than most retired sets from 2022 in my view. But I agree that the Santiago Bernabéu is too expensive, so only if it gets similar discounts would it be worth it
@JakesBricks

Agreed! Discounts make investing way easier but the camp nou is just now getting back to the original MSRP
Picked up another Winnie the Pooh today for investment. I built one as well. Excellent build.

Why "sadly"? That was a great deal. For $50, it's good for the piece count alone. I'll take a few off your hands for $60 LOL
Great content as always Jake! I know it may not be popular, but would love a video on the Friends theme. I’m certain there’s some good sets there, but as familiar with the theme. Would love some insight on that as I see you do have some of those sets. Thx again!

Thanks for the video. All modular fans want to have Assembly square and it is one of the top of modular sets. I believe this set will do well but will hold a bit longer. Its a huge set, takes too much space so who have it will be the winner.

The birds of paradise set was on sale for $70 (30% off) several times on both Target & LEGO shop at home, I think it was in fall of 2021; that made me think it didn’t sell well to begin with and there wasn’t as much demand for that one as compared to the other botanicals.

Great video great analysis and spot on keep the videos coming I’m concerned in the investment sector for Lego with the economy and legos crazy price increases. I hear that Lego sales are way down and if there is any indication of that look at the upcoming promo with a triple stack plus double vip

I’m thinking the market saturation of the original Friends set is going to make the Friends Apartment set a good investment. Investors will be gun shy to invest and all those who purchased the original set will eventually want this one. I think this is big money if you can get it at a reasonable discount.

I’m Inclined to agree but maybe FRIENDS fans aren’t as big of LEGO collectors as we thought, or maybe I might be gun shy ha! Time will tell

Jake, another great video. Thank you for the info. Two corrections for you. Your pronunciation for vitiligo is incorrect. Try a google or dictionary search with tricky words to keep your pronunciations clean. Finally, at 20:38 you said "This set has 800 less pieces." You should have said "fewer pieces." Generally speaking, if a noun is plural or countable, we say fewer, not less.

Hey Chris thx for the feedback! 1. I actually did look up a google pronunciation of the word vitiligo before shooting this video and thought I got close to the correct pronunciation… would you be able to spell it phonetically for me?? 2. If the only grammatical error or speaking error I made was saying less instead of fewer than I’ll take it! I would imagine I make 15-20 of those errors per video ha! Anyways thx for the feedback! Always trying to get better!

Hi ! I just got a 50$ lego gift card and I was wondering which set should I invest it in ? I can add a little bit of my money if you also have a little bit higher and better suggestions (no more than 75$ total). It is for a mid term investment, holding for 10 years or so. Thanks for your help

Hey Jake, can you share your opinion about the boeing Osprey airplane? I just got it from the shop for 500 euros, and Im thinking keeping it for a couple of years...or maybe more? do you think its going to steadily increase in price in the next 5 years?

I think this one has probably hit its peak. It will defiantly be worth more and more over time but I would imagine just incremental appreciation in value. But if you have it 20 years from now it'll likely be worth 2-3k Euro
