Captain_Obvious Posted 7 hours ago Share Posted 7 hours ago 22 hours ago, mlc3423 said: Might be the new trend going forward in the future....Lego keeps releasing more and more of these expensive overpriced sets and many are going to end up with a short shelf life due to lack of sales/deals and many are going to go under the radar of both collectors and investors and next thing you know "Out Of Stock/Sold Out" and then boom goes the dynamite I believe so. One argument against this is the cost to LEGO of manufacturing flops and then pulling them at a loss. However, I doubt there are significant initial manufacturing costs for new sets. I recently watched a LEGO documentary showcasing their manufacturing capabilities from the '70s and '80s, and I can only imagine they've improved and streamlined their processes since then. This suggests they can easily pivot when a set underperforms. Looking at their annual reports, LEGO’s profit margins are extremely high, which likely accounts for marketing and markdown costs—the largest expenses for consumer products—revealing the low cost of manufacturing. Regarding "Boom Goes Dynamite": this supports my theory that in the future, the main winners will be large sets primarily purchased by Gen X and older Gen Y consumers (5-10 years down the line). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me, investing means having at least three copies, which increases your risk. I’m not the best person to advise on which set to invest in. If you’re buying just one, choose the set you want to build in case it flops. That way, you’ll still have a set you love—like the Sanctum Sanctorum for me.

Lego has no worries....For every 1 flop they might have they'll have many others that will print $$$.....Lego is no different than any other company.......All about the $$$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
