I have purchased a few droids on discount, with a damaged box and such. I feel like its an underperforming set now but it will be sought after when it retires. It feels similar to other obscure sets that licensed Lego has released. Grwat information, and I was happy to see Lego finally have a retiring soon page. As it will drive up the priority to purchase, making Lego more money selling at MSRP and eliminating the market availability quicker. Which I believe are all good things.

I can claim I bought 100 upside downs for $200 and sold them for $450 in 6 months. Great content. Thanks.

Jake, I am loving the new level of production. Digging the storage of sets in the background. Have you thought of doing any videos on minifigure investments? It's like a whole other world compared to flipping sealed sets.

What's up TFF! So I have not dabbled into minifigure investing! There a ton of benefits to it... saves a ton on space and is cheap to ship. Because LEGO like to release minifigs in new sets I would say that the risk is slightly higher but it is something I should definitely explore. So I probably won't be doing a video on it anytime soon because I have very little experience in that area.

I first wasn't sold on the imperial Probe droid but it grew on me. I could pick up a few for investing at a discount and I couldn't resist building one. It's a great display piece and the only imperial droid we got of this size, but I actually don't want people to buy it as an investment haha.

Thanks for the update on retiring sets. The LEGO Monkie Kid TV series has three seasons with two season available on Amazon Prime in English. Monkie Kid was developed for an eastern world audience. Ninjago, on the other hand, has a huge appeal in the western world. With respect to the Art Project set, there is a classic spaceman option that makes the set special to fans of Classic Space. Had LEGO made the spaceman the centerpiece of the box art, the set would have sold better.

I actually sat through your video which is strange because i'll always think that the investment niche is toxic to the hobby, but essential i guess. The probe droid is absolutely amazing in real life. The legs fall off a bit, but if "non cringy imperial" is part of your collection you would be very sad not to have this. I think it will be sneaky.. at some point everyone will realise how good it is. Its bigger irl than all the youtube reviews and absolutely pops with detail. I bought mine to display next to the (unbuilt) star destroyer, put it that way.

I get the Big Bang Theory Set taking off because people in their teens, twenties, and thirties grew up with it and they have a connection, but Friends fans are mostly in their late thirties, forties, early fifties. (Even older for Seinfeld fans) Just because it was a high rated show 20 years ago doesn’t make it relevant today. Sixty years ago cowboy shows dominate TV, yet there are no TV sets for Gunsmoke or Bonanza and there shouldn’t be, because they’re not relevant. The less relevant the less the demand, especially from those under the 35 year mark. IMO

The Lego store in my city (Australia) has so many boxes of the Adidas shoe and The Disney castle still. I've been collecting all the Harry Potter lego I can buy and Star Wars ofcourse.

Profits of a couple of hundred dollars doesn't interest me at all. I'm looking at profits in the thousands per box.

I made a video back in May that you should check out but I will probably create a new one soon

I’m very concerned with lego investing at the current time with bad and worse economic conditions on the horizon with global economic turmoil and the insane lego price increases I see bad times ahead and at least for the near future.I’ve been a business owner for 22 years and I deal with many many people and scared what I’m hearing.If people are struggling to pay there bills feed there families pay there rent and mortgages people will not be spending the money of plastic.I have been collecting in lego specifically Star Wars ,potter ,Batman ect for over 20 years and investing the past 5 years I hate to say what I’m saying but just my honest opinion and assessment of what’s going on. Hope I’m wrong but I don’t know

Hey Tony! I think I would agree with you! We are heading into a enconomic where people will likely not be spending money on "luxuries" LEGO being one of those... But that also means less people will enter into LEGO investing bc the risk will be too high. So it may average the market out in the end although it may take longer than 1-2 years to get a quality return. Some of the best sets for LEGO investing that happened historically were sets that were sold from 2007-2010 during the recession. None of the larger sets were bought during that time and many of the sets around 2013-2015 were worth craaaaaazy money! Investing is always a risk... Time will tell! But overall I agree with you!

Great opportunity to invest imo, you just need to hold for a while. There will be less investors so if you still have the cash available then you can stock up and probably have a good run in 3-5 years from now when things turn around with the economy etc and people spend money again.

Will definitely try to pick up the Bugatti. I tried building a moc of it using the Lego instructions but I ran out on 15 long beams.

@@JakesBricks no there not. You can find technic 15 long beams in any expensive Lego technic set. It’s Just having a large inventory of them is hard when you just started collecting technic sets. I’m either gonna buy the Bugatti or the retired bucket wheel excavator. Glad bricklink is a thing I just Hate paying more then the retail price.

Using the code for the star destroyer to get 50 dollars off would just cover the tax on the product and only take off a $1.07 of the shown price of $699.00. So in all it still cost $697.93... I can't buy sets I want cause every thing on this rock is to dam expensive!!!!!

Agree on the Micky and Minnie set, ugly 👎🏻 Christmas sets can't perform that well given that every year there's new one; die hard fans looking to create a Village already bought theirs. I have the impression Disney will release a new version or even a castle from another park 🏰 and with modern techniques it will be more desirable. The market is flooded with Friends sets, not sure how well it will perform.

All this analysis is spot on and I would totally agree with LEGO releasing another Castle! Hopefully the minifigs will stay unique

How come there are no Friends or City sets on Lego’s retirement list? Surely some of them will be gone in 2023 as well?

Saw the LEGO Disney Castle in person. Looked very ugly to me & whatever interest was totally lost. I'd rather invest in the mini castle/theme tbh. Probe Droid might be interesting in the future. I don't think many ppl know about it. Never seen it in stores. T2 Camper Van is a must tho. Other than that I don't wanna waste storage on any of these sets. 😅Batwing possibly but DC taking a major L these days which that could give it's own upside.
