5 Explosive LEGO Investments & 2 Overrated Sets to Avoid | LEGO Investing Podcast Episode 19

[@GraemeTagg-x2l]

Dropship has a retirement date of 31/12/25 on bricktap

[@JD61010]

The fact every KZbinr simply glosses over the pink parrot, tells me it time to buy more Pink Parrots…

[@AndrewJBricks]

now youre catching on...

[@willmc7681]

You guys are great! Keep up the fun work!

[@abya2630]

the Mos Eisley Cantina will be over horded as everyone is talking about it NOW and how great it is - so there will be loads on the 2nd hand market.

[@DGBricksYT]

i guess it's already going for $500-600!

[@tobisonbrown]

You guys are great. Thanks for bringing the enthusiasm

[@DGBricksYT]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@RobertsFamily80]

The Office in Europe probably won’t do too much. Is my wild guess..

[@davidmccoid2704]

Why ? You realise the Office is UK , the USA version is a direct copy of the UK original even the script is the same

[@mattevans2953]

The office was under £80 in the uk (John Lewis) and £260 for cantina, plenty of sets are at really good prices across various stores and online sellers in the uk, you just have to keep checking and buy accordingly, I always find October to be the best month for deals, even better than November. I see a good month of shopping ahead. Not looking forward to it when I get round to selling the sets I have been buying over 3+ years, forgot what I have purchased. Great upload as usual, glad my thinking somewhat mirrors both of yous.

[@DGBricksYT]

Wow, so sale prices are a lot different in the UK even after the currency conversion. Agreed, October is a great month for deals. Thanks for watching.

[@cariad4297]

Nice to see you again gentlemen ... BTW there was a combined listing on Amazon for the Fish tank plus the Gold Fish Pets set which was selling for $106.50 last Q4. 🥳🥳🥳

[@ninadpendharkar2672]

Thank you for another great video! Loved KDX setting up DG on the part out value! Funny stuff! Really reinforces the importance of buying at the right price. I’m hoping we get some deals on the pink parrot in Q4. Also I’m seeing conflicting info on the rebel scout speeder vs imperial drop ship retirement date. Wouldn’t be surprised if it sticks around to 2025. Again thanks for your hard work! Look forward to your next video!

[@rdyt0]

I used to own a 10123 original cloud city MISB for $350 but sold for $1000 about three years later. Biggest regret ever. Now I intend to hold on to my double 75222 forever.

[@DGBricksYT]

How cool! you get a shot at redemption on a remake of the same Cloud City set! Hold those bad boys forever and if you want, get a cheap used copy on ebay to build for personal.

[@alanhorkan]

30:55 "The same forwards and backwards" that would be a Palindrome

[@The_Brick_Side]

Great content as always guys. Kevin you almost fell asleep at the start while DG was running through bird sets, one of which I suspect will do incredibly well but you snooze you lose right 😂 You guys almost had me on the millennium falcon until I looked at the UK sales on Amazon, only 200 in the last month so a very different story here to your 4k a month.

[@DGBricksYT]

It seems like the UK & US markets are quite different. Hahaha, pink parrot looks promising here in the states!

[@Adrian-nj6bx]

There’s a stormtrooper in the Imperial Destroyer that came out in August..

[@SuperVikings2010]

There are also two in Boarding the Tantive IV Hallway 75387

[@jossipierce]

Do you guys run your Lego purchases/sales through a business entity like an LLC? A video on this would be awesome!

[@DGBricksYT]

I'll consider making a video. We don't discuss this as much because it can veer too close to giving financial advice and we obviously aren't qualified to give that. I do run my LEGO business through a business entity and most other large resellers do too. Is there anything in particular you'd like discussed?

[@jossipierce]

@@DGBricksYT this is good info and your hesitancy makes total sense. I think that answers my question. I am a small business owner so I'm looking to run my expenses & income through my business.

[@ransom3057]

Technically you’ve also forgotten about the stormtroopers in Boarding the Tantive 4 and Imperial Star Destroyer

[@DGBricksYT]

True. Those aren't practical for army building though...

[@InvestInBricks]

Great video as always. I think some people will look at the storm trooper mech as kind of like a tank or say cavalry more than the just boots on the ground soldier but less than a fighter tank. IMHO some will buy not just for the figure also the people who want every mech out there. Keep it up guys i watch you both individually but together you bounce off each other well.

[@DGBricksYT]

It's clearly popular! We'll soon begin to find out how it does as an investment. Glad you enjoy the show!

[@Tpsreport9]

Great episode. And yes the office is amazing! I haven’t seen any mentions of 75376 Tantive IV. Totally get it doesn’t retire for a couple years but is it worth picking up at 50% off ($40) and holding a couple years if you have room?

[@ThaLouDawg]

30:54 I think you meant to say palindrome

[@DGBricksYT]

it's hard to think in the morning

[@mpc007]

In my market (Netherlands) the bird house is currently out of stock both in online LEGO store and in the four offline locations we have.

[@whodidit99]

The fish tank and Paris Postcard rocketed in price because they just disappeared. There really was no way to anticipate the absence of supply. Do you guys have any strategy for this scenario.

[@ajames3062]

I heard that Rebuild the Galaxy is a getting a second a season so there might be another waves of set from that show in a couple years to go with the dark falcon

[@DGBricksYT]

We'll have to see! They certainly could extend it another couple years to bridge the gap until more big Star Wars media drops.

[@fredhwa]

entertaining vid and informative. interesting take on sets...do you guys think the sales of the grey play scaled falcon will take away from sales from the dark falcon? i feel like most people will only pick 1 or the other with appreciation as the kids get older and want the dark falcon that they missed out on. unless there will be more episodes of rebuild the galaxy which i am not sure of

[@DGBricksYT]

Casual buyers or parents will just buy what they see at target, which for the next year or more is Dark Falcon. I'm counting on a large enough portion of falcon buyers wanting a standard OT playscale falcon and opting to buy the 75257 on Amazon/ebay for $200-$250. We'll have to wait and see. Thanks for watching!

[@fredhwa]

@@DGBricksYT thanks for your opinion. I can see that logic play out. Maybe if I can get the falcon in the 90s I'll pick up some. Until then I will keep my fingers crossed and would be awesome to see a follow up vid maybe a yr or 2 after retirement!

[@marcbiosa-roberteau7061]

I bought 12 fishtanks at 20 bucks and sold them 6 months at 60, when everyone wanted it. 😂

[@tommurto9258]

I was able to pick up a couple of The Office sets for $90 on FB Marketplace.

[@DGBricksYT]

If I could source a good qty at that price, I'd be happy at $90

[@mpc007]

How do you know the 40755 is only available till end of the year? Brickfanatics says otherwise?

[@t.blakee2806]

The cantina will do down as one of the best sets EVER! It WILL double, then triple in price and then keep growing over time

[@DGBricksYT]

Long term I agree, but I think it might take many years to reach $1200!

[@zairajimenez1047]

The office is great! Haters gonna hate, but there's a reason it's still one of the most watched/streamed series! 😎

[@brianoneal2547]

Yes and very much better than stupid friends......I hate friends.....I have no friends! 🤣🤣🤣

[@tonyricca8116]

I picked up the fish tanks for 17.00 I found 8 of the Wish I Had found more

[@robertpotton9179]

The Office - Overhyped 'cos it's based on the unfunny American version of the series. In the US maybe ok, but rest of the world - meh.

[@DGBricksYT]

Finally, a fellow Office eye-roller! It's not my cup of tea but I can't deny it's very popular here in the US.

[@rnscarsdalesupplements273]

75257 already back to $136

[@DGBricksYT]

It sold out in about a day after we recorded this on the 22nd

[@raindogs]

40755 is reportedly retiring EOY 2025. I hear you about local tax. My tax is 10%. Yeeck!

[@matthewelliott1834]

It's 13% here in Ontario, Canada, lol! Definitely something I keep in mind when purchasing for investment!

[@JamariusJackson-yg5ui]

DG is wrong about the storm trooper mech. Ppl aren’t wanting it just for that minifig, storm troopers are only worth 5$. Ppl want the mechsuit.

[@mitchellray2813]

I can pick up 2 office sets for 90 should I do it?

[@DGBricksYT]

I would!

[@tiborov]

Set 40755 will retire in 2024 EOY, according to the Brick Tap community

[@dvl4586]

You are only the 2nd out of half of dozen of other Lego channels that has claimed the Imperial Dropship vs. Rebel Scout Speeder will be only available for three months.

[@yve2626]

It will retire in 2025

[@DGBricksYT]

My source was David with Solid Brix Studios, but at this point it's unclear the retirement date

[@dvl4586]

Yeah, he mentioned it twice during his early review. There was another early review from someone else, and they didn't mention it.

[@somethingawesome9547]

Jfc why does this sound scripted.

[@veronicabaez3326]

Second
