Which reminds me, I might need to go down into my main storage area, to remove the dust. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wazzapova Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Hi guys. I'm seeing that this set is hardly going over the MSRP of $199.99 ☹️️. Any thoughts on if this set is a dud in the after market? I have three of them. Should I be more patient? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do have the slight disadvantage in that it went in the EU before the US, allowing people to continue to stock up. I believe it was still available at retail until November, so you’re not even at a year yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KShine Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 This set serves as a great example of the currently sad state of LEGO investing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not at all, just a little patience is required. I've sold 3 of mine this year, cleared £100 each and I'm keeping the rest long term. However, I do agree that the game has changed.

This set is an absolute no brainer, and yet many are looking to get out with little to any gain (after going EOL) - This is sad, and very telling. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to bring us around to the normal threads where all topics go to die, but it's just a market correction. People who got in thinking there was quick, easy money to be made are now getting scared that their golden bricks might not be as golden as they were told. Let them clear out for little or no gain (many of them will be dumping exclusives this Christmas), while those with patience just have to wait a little longer. It seems like recent exclusives and other hoarded sets might just take a little more time to ripen than was expected. Don't be sad. Be glad they aren't true competitors who are in it for the long haul. That would be far more damning. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mauro23 Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 (edited) There is a simple strategy to go forward into the future which won't disappoint you. Just buy one or two of every set you like. Don't invest your money in more than two equal sets. In case the set will go up in price you will make some profit, if not, you will be happy to have one or two for your collection. All other strategies do not make a big sense in my eyes - no one set since two years has been a good investion so far, even the very limited LEGO DFB minifigs 71014 is currently decreasing in price... Why? The answer is easy, we don't earn 5 times more money as 10 years ago, but the amount of available sets is 5 times more than 10 years ago, so the buyer has to decide if he will spend his money for a great new set or an doscontinued one for a double price...

Val-E Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 But the sets I like always tank as investments. I definitely don´t need another Unimog or Kingdom´s Joust! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Val-E Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Listen, just get 200 Millennium Falcons or shadow Emazer´s every move and you will probably have a better chance of winning. No one has ever lost money on an MF, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
