One Year into Lego investing

Yeah, I think a better word would be flipping hence the reason I try to buy at 30+% percent off.

Not into lego, but there are ton of collectors out there.

Stepping on them, not so much.

This is a pain that cant be described.

Strange but I was awarded a nice Lego collector set at my job quite a few years ago. I set it aside to build with my son when he got older.

A few years later I found that my son had dug into the set mainly for the figurines but I am sure other pieces are gone too. Today that set new is worth $900 and for me that sums up what being a dad is like. Not quite a Babe Ruth signed baseball but similar in some respects.

Se boat here. Katrina wiped them out though

I have seen on social media people that build whole rooms for their legos or funko pop collections. To each their own and all of that but I can still think you are weird as shite and not a full-functioning adult.

LEGO 21330 Home Alone is a 3,955 piece Ideas set with 5 minifigs released in 2021. This Ideas set was designed and submitted by fan Alex Storozhuk. LEGO designers Antica Bracanov and Enrique Belmonte Beixe were responsible for transforming Alex’s vision into a physical set.

The current retail price is $299.99, however, the average sales listings on the secondary markets is closer to $313. The set is estimated to retire sometime within mid 2023. Once retired, the expected annual growth will be close to 6% after the second year, which will value the set between $355 and $376 shortly after it is retired.

The Minifigures are valued at $42.04

At your age, spend the same $300 on a third party certified US Coin and hold it for 40 years.

Here’s the valuation of a group of the same group of 87 different US certified coins over the past two-plus decades. $300 would buy one of the 87 coins in the index.



Here’s a link to that particular site with more details

Note: I have not dealt with this company. I am not specifically recommending them. You may lose money in investing in US Coins. I can personally say I have not lost money over the 45 years I have collected coins because I still own all of them. And today they are all more valuable than whatever I originally paid for them.

I will also add, the money is made at time of the purchase. For example, Harry Potter Hogwarts Express 75955 was sold for $40 by Walmart and Amazon during Black Friday this year. Retail price is $80 and the set retires at the end of this year. Say set appreciates only 50% in a year. Sell for $120 next Christmas. Your $40 purchase gets you over $80 after you pay any selling fees on eBay and ship the item. You will keep more if you can sell it locally on Facebook marketplace. Buy 25 of those sets for $1000 and have $2000 next Christmas. Buy $2000 worth of another great set next year at significant discount and repeat.

There is the problem of storage once a significant volume of sets are accumulated. There’s no way to avoid that.
