Dhcgy Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 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 :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diabolos80 Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Welcome! I would get 7965 Falcons, R2-D2s, and B-wings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Lego Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Welcome to the site! I would get some 10227 B-Wings and some 10221 SSDs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grolim Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDarkness Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dhcgy Posted June 26, 2013 Author Share Posted June 26, 2013 Thanks everyone, what about the death star, my local lego store still has a few in stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diabolos80 Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshTX Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Thanks everyone, what about the death star, my local lego store still has a few in stock. 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinP Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stackables Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Collecting or investing? As far as collecting, some of my favorite sets are the At-At, Sandcrawler, and R2D2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
