Don't Buy Before October for LEGO Investment: My Capital Spending Strategy 2024 (September Update)

[@vincentcbn]

Very good tips and accurate analysis :) I bought both Speed Champions DB5 and Dodge Charger for investment last year , fortunately more Dodge because I noticed they were fewer on shelves than DB5, which like you said was overproduced. Result : Dodge selling for around 40€ now and DB5 around 25€ (in France). Supply is key! And yeah it's a balance between not buying too early because it takes place to store and ties your money, and not too late because it can be out of stock First time i watch your video, and I directly subscribe, you know what you're talking about :)

What do you think about the new Lego sail barge ucs and the gwp ? Should you buy it the first day and sell it with the gwp ?

[@quansbricks]

This will be a long answer . lol . So I'll start with my own logic regarding this new release. 1. My main focus now is on the retiring LEGO sets this year. I like the Sail Barge set a lot. And also I believe it will increase interest in the Mos Eisley Cantina and Luke Skywalker's Landspeeder sets a little bit. They're all based on the original trilogy, especially scenes from Tatooine. 2. I haven't checked the value of this new release and the GWP yet. It's not an option for me personally, as my time and energy are very limited before November. I do hope I'll have more time. 3. So I might not be the best person to answer this question. But if you've already done your research and see value in it, then it may work for you. I'd suggest looking for LEGO gift cards with discounts-10% off is great, but even 3-5% is good. Also, plan how to sell them quickly. I just think the value of most GWPs will drop quickly after the first couple of weeks. However, I could be wrong about this one since I haven't done my research. Just my personal opinion.

@@quansbricks oh ok I just wanted to know because I was wondering if it would do as good as the barad dur and the dragon gwp that came with that set .

What price did you get for the Tallneck and Grogu and how well have they matured. It would be great to see a video on your wins and which sets you will have to hold on for longer

[@quansbricks]

I got the Tallneck for around $60, and it performed pretty well. I've already sold some, but I stopped selling when LEGO announced an action-adventure game, "LEGO Horizon Adventures,"launching during the 2024 holiday season. I'll see what the price will be after that. Grogu was $47 (Walmart 50% off). It's not performing very well for now. It may not perform that well in the future. But first, I still make some money on each sale. Second, they're selling fast over time, so I'm not worried about Grogu. I'll update more videos about the current retirements and have a video about my last year's purchases after that. So I'll definitely send you the link at that time.

Great video keep it up please

[@quansbricks]

Thanks for the support. I will !

May I ask how is your Thor's Hammer selling? I am not the target buyer of the hammer/shield lego sets, but I am curious are there still a lof of people trying to buy it after it was retired?

[@quansbricks]

That's a good question. Many LEGO sets' prices increase significantly after retirement, but they don't sell well at the "Fake Market Price." However, this isn't the case for Thor's Hammer. I had about 20 of these sets, and they sold very well and quickly. I still have around 10 left, which I plan to sell during Thanksgiving and Christmas. I'm not worried about this one because there's demand for it. I can sell them quickly if needed by slightly reducing the price. Currently, it has a market price of around $150, so I'm confident I can sell them quickly if I reduce the price to $130 if necessary in the future.

Should I buy the batcave with the triple points and then resell it one year or two year later ?

[@quansbricks]

The Batcave is not on my top 15 list for investment, so I won't purchase any set that's not on the list before December. But that's just my own list, which could also be wrong. Triple points is equivalent to 15% off, and I need to see deeper discounts earlier in Q4 to make any purchase. I'll just keep this discount in mind as data for future use.

[@federico4718]

@@quansbricksoh okay but I don’t think that there will be bigger discounts for the batcave so I probably will buy one copy

Everybody was thinking about having another LEGO investing youtuber.... we need more KZbinr that promotes LEGO not how to gamble on LEGO.
