Disagree with the scout trooper helmet. Star Wars people will want a complete helmet collection. And the other more popular characters they’ve already bought or are more heavily hoarded for resale.

Every investor and their dog is nabbing up the Bad Batch shuttle set. It's going to be tsunami level listings once it retires and for many years. Great video Jake! Keep them up. Would love a polybag episode or if you have had any success with rare poly's. Not just starwars but other themes. Been picking up bulk assorted retired ones for great deals and sitting on them as some of the listings are out of this world amazing ROI's. Polybags worth the investment time?

Everyone is saying the Star Wars minifig packs are going to retire. I don't think so. I think LEGO will extend their life cycles for 1 more year. Of course, that's not a guarantee. So don't wait around for next year thinking you will be able to get these. Try to get them now.

What I realize - you're have good point, NOT to buy the set immediately after release (i thought to do it with 2023 Bomber), but to wait till the end of release and see the set behavior. These days medium minus sets are not selling out immediately, and Lego replenishes stock. So ne need to grab them right away, no need to panic and buy on the secondary market if missed, but wait with patience.

Okay, Star wars is my thing for sure and I can promise all of you right now.... The Mandalorian Starfighter is going to do better than ANY other set on this list, mainly because of GAR SAXON! He is the figure with red and yellow on him. In case some of you don't know who he is, well he has never been in a Lego set and it is EXTREMELY unlikely that Lego will ever put him into another set. He was in Clone wars and there is really no reason for Lego to put him into another set. That figure alone will probably reach $120-$150 within a year or so post retirement! The other 2 figures in this set, The loyalist and Bo-katen Kryze are okay but they don't hold a candle to Gar Saxon! Also, talking about the AAT and ahsoka well she will not be the biggest draw for that set. The biggest draw for the AAT set is without a doubt the 332nd trooper. That is another figure that is going to SKYROCKET in value. But the best figure and therefore the best set on this list is the Mandalorian Starfighter with Gar Saxon! He is going to go into the Stratosphere in value!
