Just Starting to Collect Again, Best Star Wars to Buy

[Dhcgy]

Hi all,

This site is awesome. So I was a huge lego fan when I was a kid, and recently began buying some castle sets. But I love the star wars sets, and they seem to be great for investment. Just wondering what sets I should get that are out now. I put a budget of 1200 to start, so any input would be appreciiated. One drawback is I live in Canada, never a y deals it seems.

Cheers :)

Welcome! I would get 7965 Falcons, R2-D2s, and B-wings.

Welcome to the site! I would get some 10227 B-Wings and some 10221 SSDs.

Welcome to the site.

 

In addition to the excellent options above you'd do well with 10221 Super Star Destroyers and possibly some of the smaller Battle Pack type sets.

Definitely should be looking at least one SSD. For $1200, I would be buying 3 of them. I can just imagine this one disappearing real quick and seeing everyone frantically trying to score them.

Thanks everyone, what about the death star, my local lego store still has a few in stock.

Round these parts we call it the Live Star, because it's 4 years old and will never retire it seems. Definitely looks like a fun build, though.

That one seems to be tough to predict. Its been on the market for so long that many assume there are a glut of them out there that will drive down demand somewhat after EOL. It may get off to a slow start, but I think in time it could put up promising numbers.

I would get some the UCS sets. The R2-D2, B-Wing, X-Wing, Super Star Destroyer. Things like that. Maybe a Death Star too. I do not know when it will retire, but if it does retire soon, it would be a great investment in the future.

Collecting or investing?  As far as collecting, some of my favorite sets are the At-At, Sandcrawler, and R2D2.

I think the R2D2 set and the 7965 Falcon sets are pretty good for the money and are pretty sure fire winners in my book.

 

FOr collecting, with that much money you should pick up a lot of the small battle packs and stuff like the AT RT. They are really cool sets and good for the money. As well as Jabbas Palace with a Rancor Pit and a Desrt Skiff.
