Every LEGO Star Wars Set Retiring in 2023! My Grade on Each set for Investing!

[@hanselmansell7555]

Yeah i could see that and Ahsoka..

[@Ky-xm7tc]

Honestly one thing I disagree on is the BD-1 set. Jedi survivor recently came out & was amazing to play which has probably really helped the desirability to have BD-1. Also BD-1 is a very beloved character, much more than D-O! If you get this set on sale I think it will be a good investment. Great vid as always Jake

[@JakesBricks]

I can receive that pushback 💪! We will have to see 🤷‍♂️

[@manuxx3543]

BD-1 will be the next Ghost Something from great media but more niche, lots will pass on it but once youll play it yeah you will want a bd1

[@javiersp15]

I agree with you on: Obi Wan's starfighter, Republic fighter tank (for the minifigs the built is awful) and Inquisitor ship. Disagree with you: The dioramas will go up really well in the long term, BD-1 is a great built/display and the gunship is a gunship.

[@GreenBlueWalkthrough]

Also BD-1 is a beloved character lesser known for sure but still.

[@JakesBricks]

Love your feedback! Excited to see how all these sets do. I could totally be wrong with the dioramas

GREAT video Jake - thanks for taking the time! Any suggestions on the best way to track your inventory? A simple excel spreadsheet, or is there an app you’d recommend? Thx for all you do!

[@JakesBricks]

I’ve used google sheets most of my time during investing haven’t found any better solutions at this point

[@NeoDragonKnight]

I am big on the Ferrix Andor set, the show is just so good and people are starting to get into that were skiddish last year. I think the popularity of the show will go up as time moves forward as people realize how friggen awesome the show is especially if it wins at the emmys, and will want the sets later on. Since these are so limited and not horded should do well. Luthen is such an amazing character and Id like to think people will want that figure in particular. Plus as you said, I don't think they will remake these figures since Andor is so niche, we may get 1 or 2 more Andor sets moving forward I am guessing if we are lucky. Id like a Kinoi Loy, and Dedra, and a translucent holographic Maarva figure for Maarva speech set please!

[@JakesBricks]

Great great analysis!

[@JakesBricks]

Obi-Wan Starfighter and the Bob Fett Star Ship Microfighter have been extended to 2024. I would hold off on those for investing!

[@EchoBaseplates]

Boba Fett does have the jet pack in both the starship and throne sets. The difference with the microfighter is it excludes the rangefinder. That’s what makes it exclusive, lol. I have looked at these minifigs and see no difference other than the rangefinder missing from the microfighter version.

[@JakesBricks]

Ahhhh yes range finder not jet pack! Thx for the correction Matt!

[@Sephiroth476]

My 2023 Star Wars Hit list is: Ahsoka Republic Fighter Tank Inquistor Scythe Ambush on Ferrix Dagobah Jedi Training Diorama (at the $58 price) I'm going to wait one more month to see if Battle of Endor Heroes is still on the retirement list because I completely agree, it jumps to my #1 set if it really retires this year. I saw a StoneWars list a few days ago that said Obi Wan's Jedi Starfighter was pushed back to next year. If Brick Fanatics says the same thing next month, its off my list.

[@JakesBricks]

Oh shoot I check both regularly I need to check back on the stonewars list

[@leonardoserra1243]

Hi there! I am a LEGO addict, mainly LEGO STAR WARS theme. I collect mainly star wars minifigures and UCS Star wars sets. I have been watching lately tons and tons of inventory in bricklink , mostly new UCS minifigures. I have sent a message to one of the suppliers asking how did he get so many minifigures especially when we are talking about a 240 euros UCS X-wing set! I mean.... Having 50 of these made me think something is wrong... So... we talked through e-mail and he even told me he already has the new UCS VENATOR Rex at sale and he sent me pics... The only thing they are missing is the pauldron which is made in another factory so they cant get theyr hands on it. The minifigures come from Mexico factory btw.... Anyway... i dont collect and hoard onto a bazilion sets to make money. I sometimes buy more than 1 to sell later and keep my hobby up (since we all know how expensive this hobby is....) Thing is.. even though im not able to collect every single minifigure without saving money for it i want to have them all in the long run. I am now worried this scheme might hurt the entire LEGO market and flood the world with minifigures. I am not saying only the rich should have the minifigures and how hard it is for some to obtain the most expensive ones BUT... What about quality?! I bet these minifigures dont have the standards regarding quality lego has. So the heavy collector might end with crappy minifigures thinking theyr real lego which will eventually devalue the hole collection to the point its not fun anymore. Just like knockoffs... you can buy old ucs sets from lepin or whatever but its not the same... the value is not the same... you can let the dust cover the set and you wont bother about it because it was so.... cheap? I clean my lego sets and i manage my lego minifigure collection with pride and taste. I watch it everyday before going to work because i do love it. My question is what will LEGO do about it? It seems there is no information about this whatsoever.... Have a great day/life everyone! :)

[@JakesBricks]

Just replied to your other comment!

[@foreverfornever1124]

I think your wrong about BD-1 for 3 reasons. One, its a great build and a respectable shelf piece from a design standpoint, especially at $100, being much larger, with almost twice the piece count, than the D-0 droid you referenced. Two, trying to compare it to a droid from a majority opinion, unpopular SW title is not comparable, especially considering how popular Fallen Order is. And three, Jedi Survivor did just come out so this set, even though its from Fallen Order will share in that hype, unless Lego decides to release a new version for Survivor. This set should see some great jumps for the next couple years. I wouldnt be surprised if it jumps anywhere from 50-75% by next year alone, seeing how well Survivor is doing, with talks of the third game already starting.

[@JakesBricks]

Would love to see this happen for those that choose to invest in it! We will see 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

It is rumored that the Omega minifig will appear in the advent calendar this year, that might decrease the value of the fig and therefore decrease the value of the Justifier.

[@JakesBricks]

Hadn’t heard that rumor but if true that would 100% decrease the value!

[@josiahlee4512]

[@jaigarcia2507]

I was looking for this comment. I might just bite the bullet and buy the Cad Bane minifigure before it goes up once it retires

[@bbafett]

Is the Justifier at $120 a good price for investment? I would think that great cad bane figure might be worth close to $70-80 by itself in a year. I think this set has been passed over by too many people.

[@JakesBricks]

@@bbafett it’s not bad! But I really don’t know if this set can get to $240 in a year or two

[@tonyricca8116]

Great job great assessment the only thing I disagree with is the razor crest . I think this is gold only available at Lego and Amazon and never discounted means it’s been a great seller and always low inventory levels

[@JakesBricks]

I’m good with this assessment! Thx Tony!

[@macd7743]

It has been discounted. I've seen it at $98. However, I think your value assessment is correct, especially if it's extended to a few years out of production.

Saw the snowtrooper Battlepack in a Supermarket here in germany for 50% off. I bought the rest that was available, for 10 dollars i dont think you can do something wrong with this set. Especcially if someone wants to fill the USC AT-AT, he needs these specific snowtroopers. Great video :)

be careful, the obi wan starfighter minifig ( the obi wan one) is not unique, you can have the same in the lego star wars magasin of may 2023

[@JakesBricks]

Ahhh good to know

[@SuctionCat]

I think you are underestimating BD-1. He's a fan-favourite character in a popular and successful game series rather than a forgettable character in a divisive movie. I wouldn't bet the farm on him but I think he'll do pretty well.

[@JakesBricks]

You could totally be right but even the track record of BB-8 & R2 haven’t been great… but hey we will see 🤷‍♂️

Thank you for talking sense about the Helmets, people have been going nuts investing with them based on the 1 retired helmet, investors are hording the crap out of these and I just don't think they will do great down the line. The Dark Trooper helmet is so ridiculously hyped up by investors, it is set up to fail on the after retirement market, every youtube channel is buying dozens of them, same with people on reddit, very very over horded.

[@thegreatpiginthesky3904]

I agree with you. However, it's not just one helmet that did good. The stormtroopers helmet has made me crazy money

[@NeoDragonKnight]

@@thegreatpiginthesky3904 fair enough👍

The Trash Compactor set is a big bummer....the torsos of Luke and Han are in the new Stormtrooper Mech and R2D2 and 3CPO will be out in this print in more Sets....I bougt one for myself but wouldn't invest in it...I think the X-Wing and the Tie-Fighter are desirable because of their price point....Lego will continue to increase their prices so if the next models will cost around 100€/$ you could probably sell them for this price because they fit more to the scale of the Minifigures....the previous ones are way too big....but amazing video as always greetings from Germany🙂

I have spare 187th to sell later. They won't probably return since The Clone Wars has ended and there are a lot of other Clone legions & Star Wars projects that can have sets instead. It won't be in the January 2024 Battle Pack so that will already bring it's value up.

[@ozymandias2k]

I love your commentary on Lego investing but what a lot of people don't take into consideration when 'investing' in large Lego sets are the cost to ship which would eat a lot of the profit margins away. So for instance, you were saying for the Razor Crest "I hope this set would be $180 to $200" inferring that's a good return, it's not. The ROI on that would be very marginal and hardly worth the time and space 'investing'. Fees would be 15% so that's $26 to $30. Shipping cost to safely ship securely, packing materials etc would easily be $20 to $25. So no profits there. Hence most of the time, I stay away from big sets for investing. ROI isn't great. A $30 set that you purchase for $16-$18 on sale when it goes to $70 and shipping costs of $10-$12 gives superior ROI. I have sold some of my large UCS sets that I purchased for 20% off for say $500 only to make a paltry $100 bucks after fees and shipping. Hardly worth my space.

[@JakesBricks]

I have talked about this on other videos and you are correct! Facebook and other places to sell allow you to avoid fees and shipping at times. But to actually profit an ROI at 100% on that set it would have to get to $300 so you are right

[@Brick_Reporter]

Hi Jake, thanks for great overview! Honestly, I do not see any rational reasons Lego can retire Endor Brickheadz… Other Star Wars Brickheadz as Obi Van vs Vader and Tusken raider are staying and Lego is releasing Brickbuild Yavin 4, so it should only increase hype for this episodes We will see very soon
