Therightbruno Posted November 11, 2019 Posted November 11, 2019 Probably ‘old’ news but Winter Village Train Station 10259 is marked Retired 1 1 Quote

I believe 3 sets per shipping carton. I think anything is possible really. The hope for me would be that if it was a poor seller initially, that it had a minimal amount of sets made. The Capital is on the list too, and that wasn't a poor seller from what I understand. Quote

cladner Posted November 11, 2019 Posted November 11, 2019 (edited) lol search the term retiring. https://www.lego.com/en-gb/search?q=retiring not much variability yet in what is being listed. Edited November 11, 2019 by cladner Quote

elmaslıefendi Posted November 12, 2019 Posted November 12, 2019 If you buy modulars at 100€/$100 they do just fine... 1 1 Quote

Palace Cinema & Pet Shop made it to 200€ here in Germany, I don't think they are comparable to PR. But we'll see I guess. Quote

The PR happens to be one of the best designs from the modulars, also has a lot of good pieces. Quote
dx0520 Posted November 12, 2019 Posted November 12, 2019 (edited) And who cares if PR has been out long and saturated the market. There will always be a new generation of modular lovers, and there will always be new whales wanting older sets to complete their collection. In other words, there will always be a market for modulars...and trains, and big boats... The investment value is greater than stocks, if you can manage the inventory, and deal with the wait.

Buy in versus hold time. Even if you have unlimited capital. why put $100+ into a set that it takes you 5 years to turn a decent profit on after fees/taxes? I can flip 5 $20 sets for a much higher ROI, much faster. 1 1 Quote

beatpoppa Posted November 12, 2019 Posted November 12, 2019 (edited) It's been said multiple times on here but just keeping big boxes from getting damaged is more difficult... Amazon has deemed a greater % of my sets as "unfulfillable" this year than ever before. I had a few Millenium Falcons, Pet shops, and Tumblers sent home in crushed boxes - this dissuades me from investing in modulars and other large box sets as much as any other factor.

If you’re confident in those $20 sets, go for it. But by every historical metric, I’m sure you’re profitable on some, and have failed miserably on others. With modulars, trains, and big boats, I can be near 100% certain on ROI. But it’s not like you need to be one or the other, most people diversify, and/or hedge. So why are you harping on PR/modular investors? Quote
