Ed Mack Posted August 31, 2012 Posted August 31, 2012 The LEGO Group announced in a Press Release that their sales for the first half of the year "exceeded" their expectations, due in part to the Friends and Ninjago themes, which had stellar sales:The LEGO Group concludes the first half of 2012 with another very strong set of interim accounts. Net sales for the period were DKK 9,134m compared with DKK 7,355m for the same period last year Quote
Ed Mack Posted August 31, 2012 Author Posted August 31, 2012 As I have been referring to the last several months, the Friends and Ninjago themes are where the money is at. It is excellent news for all LEGO fans. A prosperous LEGO means a prosperous secondary market and more money in all of our Brickfolios... Quote

Ed, I haven't really gotten into the Friends theme yet but I must admit some of these sets look really cool and I wouldn't mind picking some up to both build and invest in. Are there any Friends sets that stand out to you that you think will make great investments? Quote

Are there any Friends sets that stand out to you that you think will make great investments?Take a look at the TOP SOLD SETS ON EBAY and AMAZON BEST SELLERS to get a good idea of hot and popular LEGO sets. Usually, top sellers now are top appreciators later. The largest sets of a theme are usually a good choice. Quote

Thanks you all, I will definitely start checking these sets out more. Quote
sgoldham Posted September 2, 2012 Posted September 2, 2012 I buy the Friends sets for my 7 year old daughter and she absolutely loves them. That being said, I haven't been investing in them...... What have I been thinking??? I guess I've been a little scared to branch out into the "girl" LEGOs. Quote
