Honestly one thing I disagree on is the BD-1 set. Jedi survivor recently came out & was amazing to play which has probably really helped the desirability to have BD-1. Also BD-1 is a very beloved character, much more than D-O! If you get this set on sale I think it will be a good investment. Great vid as always Jake

Love your feedback! Excited to see how all these sets do. I could totally be wrong with the dioramas

I am big on the Ferrix Andor set, the show is just so good and people are starting to get into that were skiddish last year. I think the popularity of the show will go up as time moves forward as people realize how friggen awesome the show is especially if it wins at the emmys, and will want the sets later on. Since these are so limited and not horded should do well. Luthen is such an amazing character and Id like to think people will want that figure in particular. Plus as you said, I don't think they will remake these figures since Andor is so niche, we may get 1 or 2 more Andor sets moving forward I am guessing if we are lucky. Id like a Kinoi Loy, and Dedra, and a translucent holographic Maarva figure for Maarva speech set please!

Hi there! I am a LEGO addict, mainly LEGO STAR WARS theme. I collect mainly star wars minifigures and UCS Star wars sets. I have been watching lately tons and tons of inventory in bricklink , mostly new UCS minifigures. I have sent a message to one of the suppliers asking how did he get so many minifigures especially when we are talking about a 240 euros UCS X-wing set! I mean.... Having 50 of these made me think something is wrong... So... we talked through e-mail and he even told me he already has the new UCS VENATOR Rex at sale and he sent me pics... The only thing they are missing is the pauldron which is made in another factory so they cant get theyr hands on it. The minifigures come from Mexico factory btw.... Anyway... i dont collect and hoard onto a bazilion sets to make money. I sometimes buy more than 1 to sell later and keep my hobby up (since we all know how expensive this hobby is....) Thing is.. even though im not able to collect every single minifigure without saving money for it i want to have them all in the long run. I am now worried this scheme might hurt the entire LEGO market and flood the world with minifigures. I am not saying only the rich should have the minifigures and how hard it is for some to obtain the most expensive ones BUT... What about quality?! I bet these minifigures dont have the standards regarding quality lego has. So the heavy collector might end with crappy minifigures thinking theyr real lego which will eventually devalue the hole collection to the point its not fun anymore. Just like knockoffs... you can buy old ucs sets from lepin or whatever but its not the same... the value is not the same... you can let the dust cover the set and you wont bother about it because it was so.... cheap? I clean my lego sets and i manage my lego minifigure collection with pride and taste. I watch it everyday before going to work because i do love it. My question is what will LEGO do about it? It seems there is no information about this whatsoever.... Have a great day/life everyone! :)

It has been discounted. I've seen it at $98. However, I think your value assessment is correct, especially if it's extended to a few years out of production.

I think your wrong about BD-1 for 3 reasons. One, its a great build and a respectable shelf piece from a design standpoint, especially at $100, being much larger, with almost twice the piece count, than the D-0 droid you referenced. Two, trying to compare it to a droid from a majority opinion, unpopular SW title is not comparable, especially considering how popular Fallen Order is. And three, Jedi Survivor did just come out so this set, even though its from Fallen Order will share in that hype, unless Lego decides to release a new version for Survivor. This set should see some great jumps for the next couple years. I wouldnt be surprised if it jumps anywhere from 50-75% by next year alone, seeing how well Survivor is doing, with talks of the third game already starting.

I love your commentary on Lego investing but what a lot of people don't take into consideration when 'investing' in large Lego sets are the cost to ship which would eat a lot of the profit margins away. So for instance, you were saying for the Razor Crest "I hope this set would be $180 to $200" inferring that's a good return, it's not. The ROI on that would be very marginal and hardly worth the time and space 'investing'. Fees would be 15% so that's $26 to $30. Shipping cost to safely ship securely, packing materials etc would easily be $20 to $25. So no profits there. Hence most of the time, I stay away from big sets for investing. ROI isn't great. A $30 set that you purchase for $16-$18 on sale when it goes to $70 and shipping costs of $10-$12 gives superior ROI. I have sold some of my large UCS sets that I purchased for 20% off for say $500 only to make a paltry $100 bucks after fees and shipping. Hardly worth my space.

@JakesBricks

Жыл бұрын

I have talked about this on other videos and you are correct! Facebook and other places to sell allow you to avoid fees and shipping at times. But to actually profit an ROI at 100% on that set it would have to get to $300 so you are right

I don't know what to think. Agree with the top 6 sets you mentioned but they are so obvious there will be millions of them hoarded by investors. I am going to diversify a little more and hold some B-C rated sets as well. Then again last years winners were pretty obvious also like anything Mandalorian.
