sadowsk1 Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 I heard from a Lego employee...Just kidding. It's a cool set though it seems like it would stick out like a sore thumb in a Lego store to stand alone by itself. Who knows though. I'm fortunate to have one. Maybe it will get a retiring soon label to foretell it's retirement. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm the opposite, I feel as if the Haunted House is one of the best designed "modulars". Second only to the Palace Cinema. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheOrcKing Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 My favorite build is the GE. The HH isn't bad by any means though.My favorite modular build would also be Grand Emporium with Haunted House being my favorite Monster Fighters set. Since Haunted House is not a modular design, both can be my favorite! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cullen Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Good point guys but I don't do much investing cuz I'm only 15 so I'm more of a collector! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pins79 Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 These are similarly priced sets both with unbelievable upside once EOL. If you were to invest in 20 sets, which would you choose? Or would you consider "diversifying" and buying equal sets of both? I was just wondering what people's practices tend to be with regards to diversification. I think both are going to be monsters in the secondary market, but I'm not sure which will provide overall better return. Another consideration would be say Technic 42009 vs Technic 8110 (Unimog)...would you just buy 10 sets of one of these pieces, or split them up and buy 5 of each?

pins79 Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Oh, here's another one.... Tower bridge vs. 2 Volkswagon campers? Same price, I believe. Which will fare better? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxgc53 Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 hmm..I really like the Tower Bridge and see great possibilities for investments..However the VW also looks good. I think Tower Bridge will do better. Because of the price tag off that bat a lot of people I bet are under investing in it. I think the TB will perform better than 2 VW's.

If I had to choose between 1 tower bridge or 2 campers I would buy all 3! lol I think these two sets have pretty equal investment potential.

This is a good point regarding the tower bridge, in retrospect I kind of agree with this theory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 I diversify completely. If I didn't, I would just have 20 Haunted Houses. Of the sets you mention - I have all of them so I think they are all good investments. Would I pick certain ones over others? Well, a lot depends on when we think something will go EOL. Right now R2D2 and the Haunted House have not been discounted at all. I think Haunted House has a better chance of sticking around longer. If it did, R2D2 becomes my dark horse - it has seen no discounts. The cheapest way to get one is to buy one from the drop-ship scammers on Ebay. As far as the Tower Bridge/VW bus combo: Tower Bridge will be much higher price in several years - but the VW camper could grow a little faster in the beginning with the cheaper price. So that one might be a less long jold even though I don't think it will ever reach 400-500$ where as I think the Tower Bridge will be close to a grand in 5 years.

maxgc53 Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Another point to bring up is the Beetle goes for 350-400 sealed, and that is an older release when there were substantially less investors. Now that people know about the potential of the VW cars, a LOT more are jumping on the bandwagon, especially at the $120 price tag. I reckon the VW will top off at 300 in a few years, which is nothing to complain about. I just feel the tower bridge will do better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The beetle was much more under the radar as well. 300 seems about right to me too. I would be very happy with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
