weakside Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 Aside from an investing perspective/CAGR...is there a set you want for your personal collection/interest that you just missed out on? At the moment mine would be the Medieval Market Village, I could always buy it on the secondary market but just wished I started this Lego hobby sooner! Anybody wished they had a retired Modular set? P.S. any local Canadians within the GTA that has the MMV set...PM me with your best price or possible trades. Thanks. Quote
nolanfan34 Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 I paid over retail for both Diagon Alley and Hogwarts Castle since I missed them. Bought them for my collection, but I think they have investment upside even at the price I bought them at. 1 Quote
Blackjack Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 Anybody wished they had a retired Modular set? For investment, Market Street, which is up to $1,360! Quote
weakside Posted July 12, 2013 Author Posted July 12, 2013 For investment, Market Street, which is up to $1,360! Yeah, sick how these modular sets have appreciated so much. To think at one time they were just sitting on the shelves collecting dust/waiting to be purchased. Can't predict the future! From a collector stand point, it's just cool having a limited set not many people have. Quote
Quacs Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 I would get the VW Beetle. That's one kick @ss model. Quote
DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 UCS Imperial Shuttle. This for sure. I had a chance to buy one for $200. Somebody smack me in the face please. Quote

spener90 Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 Imperial Flagship. Don't even have to think about it. Quote
Quacs Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 You wont miss out on the bus, right? Nope - already have one built and one for investment. Looking at picking up a second in the next couple of months. Quote
DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 Taj Mahal. Its amazing. I really love the set. My wife's choice - the Effiel tower. We know which theme we like. Quote

Alcarin Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 Well I must say Imperial Shuttle... it was the only one I could buy (after i started investing) and did not.... i could buy it for 260$ at local store... But even if i wanted to do it I only had 280$ to spend and I did not want to put it all on 1 UCS set at that time... now I wish I did it lol Quote
Guest ph4tb0i Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 pretty much any UCS/Modular/Train that was discontinued I wish I bought more of. Then there's Diagon Alley and Hogwart's Castle. oh man who guessed an alley way in some magical land would be worth so much. Quote
weakside Posted July 12, 2013 Author Posted July 12, 2013 Glad no one has said Orc Forge yet lol (not officially EOL yet but very hard to find). There are some funny members here Quote

BuckeyeFanDan Posted July 13, 2013 Posted July 13, 2013 I want a Winter Village Toy Shop and really wish I had gotten back into LEGO sooner! The other ones I would gladly pay original MSRP for are the Holiday Train and Grand Carousel. Quote

The other ones I would gladly pay original MSRP for are the Holiday Train and Grand Carousel.Grand Carousel was a true work of art. Besides, I love theme park related designs. Heck, I wouldn't mind seeing the ever classic "Tea Cups" ride in Lego!Winter Village builds are just like the modulars for me; I can hardly wait to see the next release. Quote
