June 2024 LEGO Sets Revealed, May the 4th Recap, Rex Controversy, & More! | Investing Podcast #13

[@jonasjakobsen8767]

wow, it is my impression that demand is high in EU for the GWP: probably the best GWP ever for the fourth of may

[@aduckquackquack5783]

Yep. Sold out.

[@DGBricksYT]

It did sell out in the USA shortly after we recorded this video on the 4th. Early indications are that the GWP bundle is pretty close to last year's trajectory so far, with the race to the bottom nearing its low point.

[@kdxbricksanalytics]

Yeah, and since it has minifigs (kinda) and is good for baddies army building, I'm holding until at least the holidays. I think it will get up to last year's GWP!

[@M18Hellcat-17]

I have to say, I picked up a UCS tie interceptor on the first and it’s one of the best builds I’ve ever got. Loved the model + the promos just made it so much better.

[@DGBricksYT]

With all those promos, it's probably the best deal that set will ever see! Even better if the 10% cash back beginning 5/5 was added.

[@M18Hellcat-17]

@@DGBricksYT Def. Now I need to buy more shelves to fit these sets lol.

[@sallywyatt2918]

Great video guys. These lego sets discussion you do together are my favorite on KZbin.

[@kdxbricksanalytics]

Thanks so much! That's awesome to hear!

[@BrickDomain]

Another great episode! Y’all are finally seeing the light with the Star Wars mechs!! I’ve been singing their praises all year 🔥

[@kdxbricksanalytics]

Credit where credit's due!!! 😄

Credit where credit's due!!! 😄

[@stevenpetersen8530]

This city releases and that HP TriWizard Tournament set are🔥. Inspite of the fact that it’s City/HP, these will do FANTASTIC for investing! (Subject to shelf life and buy price, of course)

[@rogerhalt3991]

33:55 isn’t the entire castle, it’s a great display piece but needs fleshing out. Btw Lego just put out a teaser advert for a new LotR set!

[@aleksihalme6726]

29:30 That Phase 2 clone trooper also was in 2014 Lego Star Wars advent calendar with an extra santa hat and the set also comes with his clone trooper helmet so not 100% quite exclusive there.

[@chunkhunk47]

Great great show...informative and a very funny show...keep it up

[@kdxbricksanalytics]

Thanks a lot! We have fun hanging out together as you can tell 😁😁

[@chunkhunk47]

@@kdxbricksanalytics its great to see so much banter..

[@kdxbricksanalytics]

@@chunkhunk47 that's our favorite part!!

[@Hoosierdaddyjones812]

That Harry Potter ship set looks sweet. My daughters are into the dreamz sets. The mini figures in dreamz are cool also.

[@worldsheaviestjamband93]

I don’t invest, but I’m confused on why anyone would have already invested in the Venator when realistically it could still be on the shelf for 4+ years. Unless there was such profit in splitting up the set and the individual mini figure which I guess could have been a play.

[@DGBricksYT]

I'm right with you, completely pointless to purchase the Venator for investment this year or next. As you say, maybe it's sellers separating them, or quick flippers.

[@roverboy006]

I’m starting to consider the Mechs for collecting. These look sweet on display. Maybe it is the Gundam style that also appeals to me. I could see these becoming desirable in the future.

[@DGBricksYT]

Much depends on whether the Luke's X-Wing mech is the last one, or if they release 5-10 more in the future.

[@luigimanguy]

It’s doing fine. Over 500 sold last week on eBay so if the velocity holds up and the supply starts to dwindle it’s all good

[@kdxbricksanalytics]

Yeah, I'm seeing the same, excited!!

[@graemetagg-gw3pk]

The ghost, gunship, superstar destroyer, and Vaders helmet have all been pushed back to 2025 retirement according to bricktap recent updates who are IMO the most reliable lists on retiring sets

[@kdxbricksanalytics]

I saw that too...time to pivot!! All part of the fun of the game 😄

[@graemetagg-gw3pk]

As you say, all part of the fun of it!

[@cariad4297]

Yet more great content gentlemen 👍

[@DGBricksYT]

Thank you as always! Nice to see your comments year in and year out.

[@kdxbricksanalytics]

Thanks my friend!!

[@ninadpendharkar2672]

Excellent video as always! I always enjoy your back and forth banter! Very enjoyable and informative. It’s my first year investing. So look forward to hearing more about strategies to pivot since some of the great Star Wars sets have fallen off the retirement list. Again thank you so much for the great content!

[@soniaholcombe7002]

I think May 4th GWP is awesome. I think Lego cranked up production and maybe is learning from last year’s shortages. I only got one, but it’s for enjoyment not investment. 😂

[@kdxbricksanalytics]

Nice, enjoy!! I'm hoping my 6 don't all turn into personal collection items...then my wife would remind me I'm good at the buying side of investing, but not so good at the selling side of investing 😂

[@soniaholcombe7002]

@@kdxbricksanalytics 🤣🤞🏼

[@brandonsmith4039]

The new Paz Visla figure has an improved helmet compared to the old one in the forge which will make that figure collectible. Also the stormtrooper commandos in the battle pack all died in that scene and shouldn’t ever appear in a set again.

[@kdxbricksanalytics]

Excellent points. Thanks for sharing with the group!

[@DGBricksYT]

I didn't know about the stormtrooper commandos being wiped out after this scene. Yes, that could point to them remaining exclusive!

[@nicksoapdish157]

I'm very disappointed I never picked up Vader's Castle.

[@kdxbricksanalytics]

Me too...I completely missed out and I still want one for my personal collection!

[@costa6820]

Lot of people also only got 1 gwp per household even if they did multiple orders.

[@jonasjakobsen8767]

Did the Ghost Phantom II just go off the retirement list?

[@aduckquackquack5783]

Wut? No. Rebates are usually given to EOL sets.

[@DGBricksYT]

Not that I'm aware. Wait until June updates to the list...

[@unicron76]

One of the discords is reporting it is no longer on the list along with executor and Gunship. They have been pushed out until next year. All sets I bought during May the 4th sales.

[@Elaakh_]

​​@@DGBricksYTBrickTap reported the 3 sets mentioned not to retire until 2025. If that is the case, I would love to hear your thoughts on how to handle your inventory. Sell or keep? And why? Maybe a video? :) lots of people in that position after mat 4th purchases

[@DGBricksYT]

@@Elaakh_ I will look into it and possibly make a video. If you have information or assets please send them with credit to me at [e-mail]
