wooble Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 My first buy for resell was one of the modulars. I think it was either Pet shop or Grand Emporium. I don't think you can go wrong with any of the modulars as long as you buy at a discount and keep them for awhile after they are discontinued.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kevochan Posted June 9, 2014 Author Share Posted June 9, 2014 So you bought it in EU? That's a solid price for a great set. Just a little bit too new for long term. Yeah got it in eu. So will just sell it asap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Mack Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 I bought a MISB Cafe Corner for almost $600 after watching the values of this gaudy and tacky set continue to rise from $300 in a few months. It was then I realized that the Modulars were a fan favorite. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest betsy805 Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 First new set was a Market Street at a garage sale (got her to sell it to me before her sale started as I was buying used lego from her anyway) for $75. It was that moment right there that I realized that new lego sets hold serious money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 My first set I ever bought for resell was Dino 5887 for $69. But then I opened it My first set that I actually kept was Vampyre Castles. 3 of them. Still have them along with a hoarde of others. Damn you TRU. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoltzjl77 Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 (edited) First sets I bought with no intention of quick-flipping were 2 Grand Emporiums. I have a couple of Live Stars I got just before the no-discounts policy went into effect which are at this point long term investments, even though I wasn't thinking of them as such when I bought them over a year ago. *Sigh*. (It only took a year, but I'm finally at the point where I'm actually investing...next thing you know, I'll be making snide remarks about quick-flipping low lifes LOL) Edited June 9, 2014 by stoltzjl77 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cardkid Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 My first set was the LEGO Super Heroes The Dynamic Duo Funhouse Escape (6857). got it at TRU when they were having buy 1 get 1 50% off. Hopefully TRU will sell out of these at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sauromosis Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Probably three Kai's Fire Mechs after reading this forum for a couple days in January 2013. Not a wise purchase, but I did score three Imperial Shuttles on discount that month that I still have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

naf Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 I started out with 2 Vampyre Castles, 2 Funhouses, and 2 GE's. At the time, I was planning on building one, and saving the other to resell later. My stockpile has since grown.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartikis Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 congrats, i think i started with FB and GE, was a rough couple years questioning what i was doing as they took quite a bit longer to retire than expected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

legodelorean Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 I started with some Batman tumbler polybags and then bought the Batman Manbat set. I also bought 2 Delorean BTTF sets. I'm hoping once they go eol they will increase in price. Lego investing is fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
