The pizza one

[@thebrickboy8755]

well I got one of these sets practically free! I bought a bin bag of lego for 5 pounds at a charity shop and turns out the trading post was in there and lots of other sets including some aztec sets and a really old system floating cargo boat!

[@LegoLarry8978]

yellow castle

[@Helyotes]

Yellow castle for sure

[@GregOrCreg]

Great video, and good question. Fortunately, even as a Lego City builder/modular collector (albeit NOT completist), none of these sets are must-haves (although there are other now expensive sets, like the Ghostbusters HQ, that I wish I hadn't missed out on), but of the 20 sets featured in the video, I think #15 The Monster Fighters Haunted House is the most appealing. It looks great, would go well in a Lego City, and the minifigs look fantastic.

[@EmporerDragon]

The worst thing about having a surprisingly valuable set sitting in your backlog is that it becomes really hard to justify opening it up to build it.

[@chumley307]

Good point. I'm just now starting to notice that with my own backlog of sets; a few are 7+ years out and still mint in the box.

[@firestorm5371]

Remember it is meant to be build, also you probably can get the parts cheaper than the sets.

[@cloudytug]

If wanting to build, sell the new in box on, buy used set. Use diffrence in cost to buy more legos

[@waffletop1018]

my dad actually had the yellow castle set of course, it is all over the place, but it is a pretty good example of how old the set is

[@GreenBlueWalkthrough]

Yeah I had the OG Lego Hogwarts express... But it's also in all it's pieces but I should still have the box for it.

[@Housechicken06]

I think my friend said that his dad has og castle set though I may be wrong

[@TCHorwood-xq7mw]

I've still got the box for the castle, but the bricks are scattered through the family lego.

[@ozymandiaz566]

@@TCHorwood-xq7mw I have the exact reverse. No box but the pieces are all together in one bag with the instructions

[@khululyp]

I would for for the Imperial trading post. The raised baseplates and old Pirates theme always fill me with nostalgia.

[@Thinginator]

I have just the special raised baseplate from that set, because my childhood best friend had 3 raised baseplates and decided they were too difficult and annoying to build on so he put them in the recycling bin. Thankfully, before the recycling truck came, I was at his house and mentioned that I though raised baseplates were cool, so he dug them out of the recycling bin and showed me them, letting me take them home. I still have them to this day... In addition to that Imperial trading post baseplate, I have one that's the same shape but green with rock printing (I think it's from a castle set) and a mountainy one with a stream running through it, which I think came from an Adventurers set. My friend was right, they are difficult to use well, but I still think they're cool lol.

[@riban3768]

I think that most people agree that the majority of LEGO sets are surprisingly expensive dont even get me started on the sets with special animal molds (im looking at you jurassic world)

[@equinoxomega3600]

Wow, I have one of these sets, which I played with during my childhood, somewhere stored at the attic of my parent's house. Kind of crazy to think that it is now worth more than a thousand dollars.

[@tydepr]

whelp, time to go find it

[@MartenFerret]

Most of the time, it's the box that earns the money.

[@Bionickpunk]

Titan Toa Mata Nui costs way more than Takanuva, mostly due to the rare Pearl Gold Mask of Life that it comes with. Most people just buy bootleg versions of the set, just to have the iconic mask in that color as the original set is stupidly overpriced.

[@farmsim22player]

I like it how Lego sets have a age requirement but yet Lego is for everyone

[@ethandavis2285]

i love these vid, and get a lot of enjoyment out of them. they deserve more likes

[@StaleCroissant_]

I remember going the opening of the Lego store in Amsterdam in 2017/2019 (dont remember the exact date). For their opening, they had a deal with which you'd get an additional set if you'd spend 100, 200, 300, etc. I spend 160 there, and originally would get the 100 euro extra, but since they ran out of those, I got a limited edition christmas tree (40338), which was non-purchaseable at the time. I love it and I put it on display every christmas. Wonder how much it's worth now...

[@Renkencen]

If I knew that Bionicle was going to be worth quite abit now, I would of bought one or two back then!

[@BrickHQ]

The carousel wasn't rereleased in 2017, it was a new set. I would want the cafe corner set

[@theemmjay5130]

Definitely the monorail. I've wanted that thing since I was a kid, and it was still available in stores. The castle would be my second pick, not only because it's such a piece of Lego history, but because it'd be cool to have a set two years older than I am. Edit: I'm actually not that interested in the Automatic Binding Bricks, as I'd be afraid to play with them, due to them not being made out of ABS, but a less durable plastic.

[@LusiferSam1]

The issue with CA bricks is they warp. They are nearly as durable as ABS, but the warping means they don't always fit together as nicely. As long as you don't try to force them you can built with them no problem.

[@Amun-Re]

Id take either the first Castle or the Town Square (with Castle) sets if I could for free. The latter is basically a nostalgic trip to the countryside when Iw as a child. A bookshop, chippy, and picturesque ruins to walk around? That sounds like a right good day that does.

[@goated4297]

A recently retired set that's also surprisingly expensive is the TIE fighter pilot helmet, it's now 200 dollars and rising

[@techformsmaster930]

Hey, that "Galaxy Commander" set is one my dad gave me with the rest of his collection when I was like, 6, but it fell victim to the bins, it should be among the easier sets in them to rebuild, though... wait for $3000 for only like new?! Good thing we've kept these bins around! Guess I might rebuild it over the summer.

[@Poopustheclown]

Still got my Takanuva iridescent mask on my bookshelf. Truly a great set/theme

[@CreightonNelms]

I found a sealed Lego technic Star Wars episode 1 Destroyer Droid (droideka) in my dad's things while looking for something in storage at my parents. We looked up the price and found it was worth $250 -$300 still in the box, my dad still said I could keep it. Thanks pops, love you. It's now proudly displayed on a shelf still in box, I can't bring myself to open it. They're about $80 or so open so if I really want to build one then I'll just buy it used.

[@Thinginator]

Nice, I remember seeing that set in the back of instruction manuals and thinking it looked so cool.

[@CreightonNelms]

@Thinginator5000 Dude, it looks awesome. It's folds down Into a ball and then rolling it will activate a push rod that makes it flip up into its standing Droid form. It's really neat. There's also an alternate build in the instructions to make an AAT battle tank.

[@jfwfreo]

I am still kicking myself over the fact that I could have bought a nearly complete Futuron Monorail for a somewhat OK price many years ago and didn't jump on it :( I do however own (used and mixed into my collection although I still have the instructions) the Haunted House and the original Arkham Asylum.

[@AlphaStoutland]

Wow, I never would've guessed that there was a LEGO set out there for a piece of pizza that was trending in the thousands. That is wild. 🍕

[@vigilantejusticevid]

just discovered this channel and really love these videos. I remember owning a few of these, but mostly looking at them in the catalogs, when I was really into LEGO in 2002-2009. First set ever was Ewok Attack (7139), still have both Ewok minifigs.

[@firestorm5371]

9:24 i think i have that one or at least a similar one but I don't know if it is still complete, as it was my father's originally.

[@leeum20real]

[@roslynhardaker5243]

pls more star wars blind bag videos love them

[@maglekaer1]

I am one of the lucky ones who has the LEGO Coca-Cola iFountain. But there is a catch to it. It is partially glued together so you have "3" large parts that need to be put together. The stickers are not the best quality and yes they have to be customized if you want them on.

[@SpitBrix]

Awesome. Thanks for sharing those details!

might wanna switch Takanuva around for Karzahni, Takutanuva, or Toa Mata Nui. Originally 50 moneys and now about 2000 each.

[@NoseyBricks]

Every LEGO set out there right now lol

[@superleggera1900]

I have the Imperial Flagship set, built with box/instructions and it's worth around 800 dollars (over 1000 new in box). Crazy to think I have an 800 Lego set sitting on my shelf.

[@bridgoteverly2063]

The ultimate collector’s. Millennium. Falcon

[@garrettgraf2514]

My dad actually owned a yellow castle - he and his family lived overseas when he was growing up and I think they got the set in Norway. His parents kept most of his Lego after he moved out and got married. Now my gparents live in Texas but they ended up sending the set to my aunt who has young kids now. Though I do remember playing with the set when visiting my gma and gpa - little did I know I was playing with a $10000.00 set

[@RustyDroid]

I'd want the Cafe Corner, personally.

If I ever had the chance to get one of these lego sets for free, it’d be the imperial trade post.

[@ADayinWhite]

I won't lie... I made a sound like I had just had a stroke as soon as I learned that my carousel set (from the '09 run) could currently be worth $1k.

[@JustinOrtiz-g7u]

I think I remember building the old Eiffel Tower when I was really into Lego I got it from my aunt as a birthday present. If I remember correctly, I still have in my room and I will never be selling it.

[@DZstudios.]

Thank you for sharing your video about 20 surprisingly expensive LEGO sets! It's always fascinating to see which sets have become valuable collectors' items over time, and I was surprised to see some of the sets on your list that I wouldn't have guessed would be worth so much. It just goes to show how much value LEGO sets can hold, both in terms of their playability and their collectibility.

[@FizzieWebb]

I've still got my old Takanuva somewhere, but I would not mind a second one, hehe.

[@CurtisC1975]

Really cool, I have #19 6277 Imperial trading post, I bought every pirate set in 89 and 91 when i was young, just been reassembling my 45 sets i have that have been in storage tubs while i was in military some cool stuff complete with books its been fun

[@nillerboii]

I would definitely take Arkham Asylum. That is one of the last original Batman sets that I'm missing.

[@TheRealFeechLaManna]

Love the video, cheers. However, let all remember, that whatever these sets are on sale for, nothing has any monetary value beyond what some sucker is willing to pay for it. There really is no spoon :)

[@user-fl9im2rl6y]

It's amazing though how the packaging can make the set more expensive. It probably took lego less than 2 dollars to make

[@ColeZmijski]

I bought a bin of Legos at an antique shop. I a few of those monorail peices.

[@ChEez650]

Dang the most I’ve spent on a set is $100, now I just feel overwhelmed

[@Memoquin]

I’ve got that Bionicle along with the one that’s combined with him to make the larger one. Used they seem to be listed for £200-400 together. Looking to sell so see if I’m offered that much in a collectible store near me.

[@hostiledodo1150]

As someone who's sold collectibles to stores before, trust me, you'll be lucky to get £100-150. Those stores are all about profit and will buy it off you for as little as they can get away with so they can turn around and sell it for £200-400 like you say they're worth. That being said, you never know until you ask, so go for it.

[@martinhenzl]

Old collectible stuff is expensive, how surprising.

[@MichaYT]

10:00 My local lego-store, which is quite small, has that set on display

[@White-Wolf1969]

The yellow castle was released in America in 1981 with the set number #6075 instead of #375, I know as I have two of them on my shelf one with it's original box and instructions.

I have a bunch of pieces from the motorized Hogwarts Express set. Some windows, bricks, and some figures too. How do I know that? After watching your videos, I realized I conveniently had the front round piece, with the printing. Also I remember that brown owl. Also got about 2 other bricks I can confirm are from the set, a few more printed ones, and of course a bunch of other same colored ones.
