Definetely Dexter's Diner, Mos Eisley Cantina, Jedi Council and Naboo Theed Hangar & the place Darth Maul vs. Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon.

I'm in ?stanbul, Turkey

Thanks, I checked both Amazon sites but the set prices are higher than US. I just need a way to get the sets from the US but with shipping here with a low cost. PS: I don't have any person that I know in the US so I can't ask someone to bring me some sets from there for free.

Yeah but living in the US is still a big advantage than Europe. Do you have any suggestions for me?

Hi, Maybe it is not a problem for people who lives in the US but for a person who lives in ?stanbul like me it is a big and expensive problem: Shipping costs. If I try to buy big sets, the shipping cost is much more expensive than the set itself! So it is a real problem for me. Anyone who knows a way which can help me to pay-or get free shipping-like a US resident? Thanks, Deniz

If someone could help me about shipping from there, it would be awesome!!

Thanks Josh I'll be safe

I know, it's because here, the LEGO culture is dying.. Here, the prices are C-R-A-Z-Y!!! They're about 3-4 times more expensive than the US so the word "investment" doesn't exist here Actually here, the new generation makes their parents to buy these crazy-priced sets and there is NO community. The real-lego-generation here was the previous generation when the prices were normal I think LEGO should take care of here as a company I will try to help everyone about the topics about Turkey and LEGO in Turkey (investments, collecting, deals etc.). Thank you all for this warm welcome Deniz

Maaan, thank you for your suggestion, I won't (I know this forum is not for talking about politics but I have soooo much to say..) I'd like to thank you for knowing what the hell is going on here.. I was there with the protestors and I even tasted some tear gas.. It burns a lot, trust me, stay away from tear gas Now it is more than just a park, HOPEFULLY we will go for the REAL republic, democracy and Atat

Yes you are right,for example I see that the modular building sets have done great. TB must be a good choice. The reason that I asked about the SW sets is because for a lot of years we see that the highest popularity belongs to SW and it seems to be like this in the following years. For example 10123 Cloud City has done extremely great but a set (even SW) couldn't do that great even though it was larger. So it seems like we need to predict the next 5-10 years trend. *My disadvantages: Shipping to ?stanbul is sometimes even more than the set itself So if I am gonna buy a large set (like right now), I prefer buying multiple large sets in one package. Here, the LEGO prices are 3-4 times more expensive than USA! Being in the US must be great for great deals and shipping..

Hi, Actually I should have introduced myself before posting in other topics but here I am! It's Deniz from Istanbul, Turkey. My favourite theme is surely Star Wars. Brickpicker is a great website for investment ideas and a great database, so I wanted to join the forum to communicate with other people in the LEGO world Thanks, Deniz

Yeah, me too I am a Real supporter but thanks for the great advice!

Thank you all for your advices!

And I had an idea before posting this thread but I am not sure about it: x2 Jabba's Palace and x2 Rancor Pit. Holding them for 5-10 years and selling 2 of them in 1 auction on eBay. And of couse the most important thing is their "growth potential". So what are you opinions about this idea?

Thanks for the reply! My expected holding period is about 5-10 years, so we can call it long term. So UCS sets would be a good investment for a long term holding period, yes, Would you prefer x2 B-Wings or x1 Super Star Destroyer for "my budget"?

Thanks for your reply! As you know, Sail Barge and the Gunship are not on the shelves yet but I can try those sets too, thanks. Do you have any other set recommendations which are on the shelves right now? If you don't, maybe I can the Sail Barge and the Gunship a few months later after some discounts start for'em.

Hello guys, I need some investment advices from you for 2013 SW sets... I will invest in SW sets because as we know the SW sets will be the most valuable sets in the secondary market in 5-10 years. I made a research on "growth potential" of the 2013 SW sets but I need your advices to choose the correct sets to invest in. My investment conditions: -I have currently about 300$ to invest. -I will buy x2 of the same set (1 for my collection and 1 to keep as an investment.) Thanks, Deniz
