LEGO Bricklink Designer Program | Should YOU Build or Invest?

[@tand86]

“Demand isn’t high for the castle”…sells out in 3 hours well ahead of anything else.

[@kentslocum]

My LEGO collection primarily consists of new-in-box sets that I keep promising myself I'll get around to building one day...so I guess I'm simultaneously enjoying and investing! 😊

[@StudCity]

I love the input here kent!

[@timou9000]

The Bricklink Designer Program is one of the rare Lego themes where you can actually make money even if you buy at retail, open and build, and sell as used. It was in any case, only time will tell if the increased quantity will change that. My guess is it is still a very solid investment. My plan is 1 castle and 2 shacks although if budget permitted I would definitely be getting 1 or 2 train sets!

[@StudCity]

love the input timou!

[@stefan7848]

But u have to buy border tax once it enters ur country whichh is like 20% ? How is it worth then?

[@MimiDonDoLEGO]

I still have a sealed LEGO Store and I fully plan to open it and build as soon as my city display is ready.

[@StudCity]

Awesome! it seems like that one was very enjoyable!

[@Wilyum-qs9bv]

This is a great idea and provides good insight on these sets, it would be nice to look at each set individually and determine whether to build them or buy them or pick them up at all!

[@StudCity]

Appreciate the input here Wilyum!

[@brickblums]

I actually think the higher count for sets being sold can help increase demand, because more people will be aware of it - but, if they increase the production runs much more, then it will hinder the price. But, I also understand your perspective as well- the prices are my biggest concern &no possibility for discounts

[@StudCity]

Love the input brickblums! I can understand your perspective on more production might turn more heads

[@drummerbob10]

I bought the Bricklink Modular Construction Site to build and it looks great (and I added some small details to it as well).

[@StudCity]

Very cool! Thats an epic one!

[@drummerbob10]

@@StudCity Yeah it is. I work for a construction company and my dad worked in construction for 40 years so when I saw that one come up, it was an instant buy.

[@jimm244]

Open and enjoy. Those are the only sets I’ll buy.

[@StudCity]

Awesome Jim! They are pretty epic too so enjoy the builds!

[@TonyMontanaDS]

Buying them for my own collection. I invest in stocks and ETFs. Investing in Lego is for people who don't know any better. Once you sell the set, your investment is gone. It's a one time thing.

[@StudCity]

Very true Tony! I too have found stocks and etfs an easier and more profitable alternative for investing. Buying to build seems the way to go!

[@jonasjakobsen8767]

Funny how rigid people can be Even though you just watched a video showing that All previous bricklink lwgo sets made huge gains you still say stock are better. The New program might not be a good investment but ignoring data in either lego or stocks shows that maybe you are the one who does not know what you are doing 😉

[@TonyMontanaDS]

@@jonasjakobsen8767 They are better. Once you sell a set, it's gone forever. If you invest 10k into a proper dividend stock, you get a dividend of about 5-8% every year for the rest of your life, plus a 10% or more stock growth year after year for however long you decide to hold on to it. Add to that the drip and compound reinvesting your your growth potential just keeps on increasing. You clearly have no idea how stocks work.

[@puckfan07]

I'm building anything I buy. The resale price on these even for used is above retail so win-win lol.

[@StudCity]

love that! Very true input puck!

[@natemr4482]

Great video christo thanks for the info have a great week

[@StudCity]

Thank you Nathan ! Have a great week

[@CollectorofNostalgia]

Really love the general store. Haven’t seen much western and you can change it to up to go with the old fishing store.

[@thomasgolds4585]

I was able to justify buying x2 castles for building, especially since LEGO retail prices are closing in on similar values anyways. These won’t be total bags for investors, but prob won’t clear much because: 1. Ability to purchase x2 means people won’t need to choose between building and selling. 2. x3 quantity increase is huge 3. Investing climate is totally different now. People didn’t buy extras to hold/sell, which meant that sealed copies were made more valuable. Really debating about the Parisien street, but probably going to pass since shelf space is already limited anyways lol.

[@brickzburg]

been waiting for this one, appreciate the vid man

[@StudCity]

Appreciate the feedback sky!

[@brickzburg]

@@StudCity of course, personally i think i am gonna pcik up one of each besides the parisian street. Castle and train shed to build and the old western store and shack to possibly build eventually and if not sell. High dollar items are a lot harder to sell like this but the lower dollar ones will sell better aftermarket i think. And i personally am just not a fan of dollhouse for the parisian

[@jj-lv4br]

preordering a set and waiting half a year just to keep it unbuilt kinda crazy to me but that’s obviously my own opinion. feels like a lot of afols vote on these sets just to look at the box

[@StudCity]

hahahaha fair

[@frankpisano8047]

was thinking about this the other day on what sets to invest and came across these.

[@StudCity]

These are definitely worth the attention

[@MNeuenswander]

I agree that higher demand and additional visibility on the program will reduce the growth rate. At worst, you end up with a nice Lego set to build and enjoy.

[@StudCity]

That is a great way of looking at it! I think i will be buying only the ones I want to and intend to build as the inflated numbers will affect the prices.. maybe lol!

[@richardbrown5057]

It figures the time I have the means to invest in a round pick is just a complete unknown for investment.

[@johnycruz2078]

I am a LEGO collector so unless I have at least a second set, I would keep the BrickLink LEGO set in the box.

[@StudCity]

Love the input Johny!

[@JGcollext]

I have gifts cards from Lego . Am I able to use them for these ? Would hope so i got about $700 worth . Really digging the castle for my fantasy theme im starting and the snack shack seems cool

[@StudCity]

Great Question!! I believe all payments will be accepted for Bricklink sets since it redirects you to the main lego website for checkout!

[@Daniel_B_23]

Thanks Christo!

[@StudCity]

My pleasure!

[@zakkoehler6820]

Both

[@JeffHoopAdventure]

They're overpriced so investing would be unwise.

[@StudCity]

Love the point of view, higher prices def will reflect this in a loss of appreciation!

[@ksosddnisss]

Price per piece is better then most lego sets lol. But i see what you mean since its not designed by lego designers

[@indigo1615]

Day after pre-order it got listed for $1,000 lol

[@JeffHoopAdventure]

@@indigo1615 listed or sold?

[@indigo1615]

@@JeffHoopAdventure idk if it sold. I saw some sold for 600-800 th o. Wish i would have got another one to sell lol
