LEGO Investment Room Tour!

We are finally doing the 2022 LEGO Investment Room Tour! In this video I will show you all the Lego sets in my collection as well as all the Lego sets that I have been investing in over the years. Don't forget to SUBSCRIBE for more Lego content!

[@kimosabe_cowboy]

The 1989 Batmobile is arguably the nicest lego set I've seen/built

[@TheBrickQuest]

Definitely agree! I have built it for my own collection and it’s an amazing build and display piece.

[@brickloverbrad]

Super interesting! I have a question for you- how do you think the sets that require technology (like the Super Mario Bros) will hold up over time as the applications become no longer supported by LEGO on the App Store?

[@TheBrickQuest]

Great question! To be honest I’m not sure. I’m not really liking how Super Mario is trending right now so I’m not buying much in that category unless it is a standout collectors item set. If I were to make a guess I don’t think they will do as well in the long term once the tech only is no longer supported.

[@Melluto]

I would assume mostly for collector's purpose.

[@Mike-ul7of]

71395 the ? Mark Box doesn’t have any tech. I think that’ll be a sought after set in the future bc i’ve read its design is flawless and holds together well

[@RetreatHell518]

When I was a kid, I always wanted Super Mario LEGO's. When I saw them in the stores few years back, I've bought them all.

[@TheBrickQuest]

Nice! Lego Super Mario is a great theme!

[@joelee04]

Question! What’s a brand new, sealed 10236 Ewok Village, 10212 imperial shuttle and 75095 tie fighter go for nowadays?

[@TheBrickQuest]

Good question Joe. All expensive sets. Your best best is to check eBay and bricklink for current values as they will fluctuate depending on when you are going to buy or sell.

[@sidneyleejohnson]

I use HDX as well and I noticed that the middle support beam (horizontal) for each shelf has plastic bits that stick up and can scratch Lego sets. Learned the hard way on this when rotating a very expensive set on the shelf...scratched the hell out of the box. Also the HDX shelves bow under Lego weight after awhile. Also the HDX heights aren't adjustable and when I use the shelves for Lego sets that aren't as tall I seem to be losing a lot of storage area. 17 HDX shelves later and I finally realize maybe I should have used another system.. sigh.

[@TheBrickQuest]

Good to know on the scratching. I haven’t had an issue with that yet but I’ll have to watch for that. I have noticed a little bit of the bowing. It hasn’t affected me greatly yet but I’m keeping an eye on it overtime. For the price they have done a good job for now but I would like to eventually look into the adjustable shelving as you mentioned to maximize storage capacity.

[@bluearmy7690]

Cool collection bro. Thank you for sharing

[@TheBrickQuest]

Thanks!

[@daddybricksbuilder]

Wow... what a collection. Simply amazing. Very well done 👏

[@TheBrickQuest]

Thanks! Much appreciated!

[@Stronez]

Hey, where did you got the storage shelves from ? Ikea ? Sorry for my english

[@Kboschen111]

Love the collection! I just wish i knew how to get my hand on one of those outside cradboard boxes like you have at 21:55 Do you have any idea how to get some? I iwsh i could protect some of my older sets i have. Lego customer service didnt even know what i was talking about after i tried to suggest how they could have better shipping means from their website (I recieved 3 very damaged UCS Rebublic gunships one after another) Sometimes when i buy from best buy, target, or even lego it would randomly show up in a box like that but its rare they do.

[@TheBrickQuest]

Thanks! Ya, unfortunately the ones that I have are just from sets that have been packaged in those boxes already for shipping. I’m not sure if there is anyway to get those on the open market. Outside of LEGO.

[@ostenhuberkarle4586]

Wow! Thank you so much for this inside tour. Maybe you can give me a tip for the Ulysses Space Probe. I also got one and I just don't know if I should flip that thing or hold it for a couple of years. What's your plan?

[@TheBrickQuest]

Nice! My plan is to hold it for a couple of years and see what it does. It’s holding a pretty solid price right now so I feel like there is a good chance it will continue to rise in value.

[@ostenhuberkarle4586]

T1 camper van and technic transporters still available?

[@coruscantentertainment]

Really nice Collection

[@TheBrickQuest]

Thanks!

[@sayu5202]

Hi, do you have any particular recommendations for sets to invest in? I have a current budget of 200-300 for sets that hopefully can make 30-40% of their value real quick.

[@TheBrickQuest]

30%-40% value increases can be hard to predict. I would recommend you watch my recent video where I talk about my top 10 sets that I will investing in to close out this year. kzbin.info/www/bejne/roCllaClfdOHh8k

[@user-tz2zz5ij1s]

I’m curious as to what your actual profit is. Do you live in an apartment/rented house or do you own your own house? The reason I ask is because the space that you have dedicated to Lego, was that factored into your investment model? It seems like you have a lot of money tied up currently, do you know your break even point? With the secondary market growing fast, is it more competitive to get your sets sold, do you have to lower your price so someone buys off you?

[@Tobi_Crafter]

I'm collecting all Chinese New Years Sets currently, great collection!

[@TheBrickQuest]

Awesome! That is a great series of sets. Thanks

[@nikolaikolev7833]

[@arcangelobarone]

Amazing! I just started 1 years ago Lego Investing. I wish I had lots of the sets you have! 😃 Just one question: those modular plastic shelves are great, were did you buy them? Thank you!

[@TheBrickQuest]

That’s great! One step at a time. I purchased these shelving units at HomeDepot. So far have worked out very well and were not overly expensive.

[@buster7618]

They are HDX shelves

[@Frizzly007]

It was cool to see the lightsaber in box. I was not able to get it as the giveaway. It was going for so much online that I had to look up the piece list from the online manual and buy it all from Lego pick a brick. All I need is the printed description piece.

[@TheBrickQuest]

That’s a great way to build it and I’m sure you got it for a fraction of the cost! I’ve done that with 1 or 2 sets as well.

[@singerkgreen]

This makes me want to do a video of the tens of thousands of dollars of "investment", that I converter into a lifetime of fun and enjoyment by opening the boxes.

[@TheBrickQuest]

I know Keith. It can be hard to not open some of these sets as nice as they are. I have my share of built LEGO sets in my LEGO room as well.

[@retrorampage9015]

I mean he also builds them.. I buy 2 of every set I build..

[@Belle737]

I am only getting the Lego sets I really like and want to display but I am planning on getting them twice, once for b building and other one for keeping sealed to display build one together with box and keep the sealed one for investment 😊

[@TheBrickQuest]

That’s a great way to do your investing. I like buying two of each for a lot my sets for that reason as well. One to build if I decide to and one to sell.

[@lukegraves4554]

you look like Ron Weasley. Great video by the way. Subscribed

[@TheBrickQuest]

😂never heard that before but thanks! I’ll take it as a compliment. Lol thanks for the Sub!

[@blueyblue8220]

How do you store them and keep the box’s from getting damaged or scuffed?

[@TheBrickQuest]

My larger more expensive sets I keep stored in shipping boxes. The smaller sets I store on shelves. I am carful on how they are put on and taken off the shelves. I am also careful to make sure that they are not sitting on edges that could scrape or dent the boxes. Hope this helps!

[@blueyblue8220]

Ahhh ok. I’m new to the lego investing. Would you happen to know any places who make lego storage cases?

[@carminedepaola8018]

I saw a couple of brown box with lego logo on it, what's inside them ?

[@TheBrickQuest]

Quite a few different sets. Lego Ninjago city, titanic, UCS millennium falcon, UCS ATAT and more

[@steadywatching2888]

I'm just getting started in lego investing, I'm going to focus on the medieval blacksmith set and hopefully get the exclusive hidden forest set with a gift for purchase in August. Do you have any tips to somebody just starting out other than watching for deals and buying them on sale? Thank you!

[@TheBrickQuest]

Awesome! I think both the Blacksmith and GWP Hidden Forest will both do very well! I would say don’t over extend yourself if just starting out. Don’t buy on credit. Just buy with extra money you have which will help lower risk.

[@yugiohamersfoort6051]

In my opinion the best sets to collect are the sealed vintage sets from the most popular themes, like the Star Wars 2002 sets. The Jango Fett Slave 1 for example, has been raising in price 13% every year. Same for the other ones around that era. Modern lego is produced a lot more, so I’m sure those sets won’t be that rare in the near future.

[@TheBrickQuest]

I agree! Some of those vintage Star Wars sets have built some crazy value! There is still plenty of money to be on modern LEGO though as well. You just need to find the right sets. Lego Star Wars are a good buy most of the time!

[@bigshun4301]

its not the same type of investement, some buy retail lego to cash in on short term, some buy retail or vintage on long term

[@funtyes1970]

@@bigshun4301 I see a lot of youtubers get investment back in 1 hour or at most 1.5 year and they do make pretty good money in short time some do it for living. and seem like Star Wars Legos is best investment any other Legos.

[@AlvisCasper]

I have 2 question that I'm hoping you can answer. 1. How do you keep track of the price increases on sets you want to sell? 2. How do you know how well a set is doing before you buy it?

[@TheBrickQuest]

Good questions Kellan. I don’t use any specific method of tracking increases in price. I buy the sets with the expectation of holding them in the 2-3yr range roughly unless there is a trend I see that could elevate the price on a specific set. I will typically just check eBay pricing periodically which is where most of my sets are sold. As far as knowing how well a set will do before buying it. It’s hard to tell. I try to look at past performance, popularity of the set and theme to get an idea of how well the set will do after retirement. This is what I base my purchased on.

[@AlvisCasper]

@@TheBrickQuest That you, this was very helpful!

[@krispyskins2122]

Nice collection. A lot of Lego since 2020!

[@TheBrickQuest]

Thanks! One set at a time.

[@scottrogers2186]

Some really good sets. Are you keeping your upside down sets or letting them go in the current $450 range?

[@TheBrickQuest]

Thanks Scott! Good question. I’m considering letting 1 or 2 go but I haven’t made my final decision. Thats always the tough part is wondering if it could potentially reach even higher values in the future.

[@gizmoman8398]

You should’ve left them in their postage boxes. Yes takes more storage space - but - anything happens to that room (eg. water leak, etc.) and you’ve lost everything.

[@TheBrickQuest]

Very true! Unfortunately, just due to space there was no way for me to keep them all in shipping boxes. I tried to keep the larger more expensive ones in boxes though.

[@AverageGuyGaming2024]

Hello you selling any of the gift with purchase sets?

[@TheBrickQuest]

Yes I am. You can ship my Bricklink store. Search “The Brick Quest”

[@stephentgarber]

Nice collection. If you don't mind, is there a way that you use to keep track of sales across multiple retailers, or is it just kinda luck? Lol.

[@TheBrickQuest]

I do some tracking on an excel spreadsheet but to be honest, most of my tracking is done via the selling platforms dashboards. I am looking to find some software that does that in the near future.

[@wolfheadedconjuror]

Use brickwatch

[@miguelcortez3964]

Do you think you’ll sell a downtown diner and if so how much

[@TheBrickQuest]

Unfortunately I am holding onto to those for a while longer to let the value increase. I will definitely will let you know when I get ready to sell though. Thanks for the inquiry!

[@abs1519]

Are these a security and do you have to pay capital gains tax?

[@TheBrickQuest]

Most of the time you will pay taxes on gains on any item you are selling in large quantities. Always check your specific state for your specific tax laws. Or consult a tax professional.

[@DGBricksYT]

do you sell on Ebay only or BL/local as well?

[@TheBrickQuest]

I sell on both eBay and bricklink.

[@momo-iw8cm]

Great Video! You are very organized. I have sets all over the place hard to keep track sometimes. You seem to invest mostly in medium to larger sets. Where do sell your larger sets? I don't feel comfortable selling the larger set on Ebay. Thanks again for the great videos

[@TheBrickQuest]

I am not always organized. There are occasions when I have sets all over the place as well. I do try to mostly just invest in the larger sets and I’ve done all my selling predominately on eBay. I have yet to run into an issue. I try to box up my sets really well. I also take good pictures of the packaging and the box before it is sent just to try to cover as many bases as I can. It’s still not full proof that something could happen but I try to limit anything happening as much as possible and so far so good.

[@afriend99]

@@TheBrickQuest I have a good question for you. Since you mentioned selling large set on eBay. How do you ship to the buyer? With USPS, UPS or FedEx? Shipping large package can be very expensive. Not sure how some seller can offer Free shipping and how do they cover the expense?

[@TheBrickQuest]

@@afriend99 good question! If it is a more valuable set I am always shipping FedEx or UPS. I only do USPS for small sets or pieces. You get a reduced rate when shipping with eBay so my average shipping cost for larger sets is between $20-$30. If you got a good deal on the set and put a good mark up on the set then you will have no problem making profit. Try to buy the sets your looking at on discount to make room for fees and profit.

[@jaywilliams1289]

That is a FANTASTIC collection!! My favorite set of the one's in your video is the AT AT UCS set. Next would be the rollercoaster!

[@TheBrickQuest]

Thanks! Both great sets! Hoping to get to building both of those soon!

That sticks. I didn’t know that about Canada. Iv investing probably close to 100k In my entire Lego investing career.

[@gleobricksscaptain2483]

@@TheBrickQuest oh my lord... $100,000 usd!!! That's like a house 🏠

[@SimonAllosserie]

As you have a lot of GWPs, I assume you buy a lot still off Lego directly, despite saying you try looking for deals when buying. Is that correct? What are the reasons you choose to buy directly at Lego instead of cheaper alternatives for exactly the same product? Or is this all just from buying exclusive sets? Just curious :)

[@TheBrickQuest]

Good question! A lot of my bulk GWPs come from buying Lego around the holiday season. Typically Lego is liquidating the retiring sets at a really good discount plus you can get the gift with purchase is on top of that which is great. Throughout the year when I’m just wanting a specific gift with purchase I will just buy sets that I am specifically going to build and not necessarily investment. I’ll pay the full price for the stuff that I want to build but then also get the gift of purchases and hopefully double VIP at different times. I do most of my investing purchasing around the holiday season from lego.com as well as target Walmart and Zavvi.

[@nickysoh]

Chipping in here, when you look at GWP set you gotta determine the value and LEGO does a lot of 2-3 GWP combos throughout the year as well as with VIP double points. So when those come around, that's when you really want to maximize your buying as the double VIPs with GWP is hard to beat. For example if you hit holiday seasons, the xmas small sets almost always sells really fast easily at $20-25. I've kept all my xmas GWP for years and recently started selling them for $40-60 each. Double VIP makes a set around 10% discount. And if you look at UCS or exclusive set, some almost always dont get discounted so those are the high ticket items to spend on the multiple GWP periods.

[@judysears6417]

Do you know if They're going to be doing the funding brick ideas this year?????

[@TheBrickQuest]

Good question Judy. I have not got word that it will happen this year yet but I know they will be bringing it make at some point.

Whatsup, guys I just hopped into lego investment, do some research, and buy the lego Seinfield 21328, because it seems to me like interesting lego, also I got it kinda cheap, what do you guys think of this set?

[@TheBrickQuest]

I believe LEGO Seinfeld will probably do well after retirement. Wait closer to retirement to purchase so that you can get a discount on the set and so that the hold time is as minimal as possible before you re-sell.

[@frantakolomaznik9905]

​ @Brick Quest Thank you for your response, unfortunately, I already buy it, but like I said I catch it very cheap compared to other shops, plus in my region is it cheaper than for example the UK.

[@shortwires]

How were u able to buy a Titanic set? Never in stock anywhere I look.

[@TheBrickQuest]

I know it’s difficult to come by. I didn’t get it during the initial release so I set my Lego account up for a reminder when it came back in stock. It notified me a couple weeks ago and I purchased it immediately. You have to be quick with that set. Hopefully you can get yours soon!

[@tintedwind8554]

Great video! Quick question, how do you see sets in the winter village theme doing?

[@TheBrickQuest]

Typically I see winter village sets performing well. I wouldn’t say they outperform Modular’s or other popular sets most of the time, but normally they will at least double in price. I do some investing each year into the winter village sets and I am happy with their performance.

[@TheBrickQuest]

I took a gamble and it looks like it’s paying off on that set! I figured the fact that is was a 20th anniversary set would help it in the aftermarket.

[@funtyes1970]

some sets Lego like to milk out like (ideas tree house) I think you can still buy that set. I think this July that set been out 4 years. I think big sets like (Ideas Tree House) only should be out in Lego stores for 1.5 to 2 years at most. after that set should be retired.

Yes. The treehouse is long over due for retirement!

[@ryleyw3684]

Wwwwhhhhhyyyyyy ! Why must people do this. I just think... all that lego sitting just there.. in big quantities when someone could be enjoying it. This type of thing honestly frustrates me, especially when there are like 10 or more GWP or of a set etc. One reason why I order as soon as the gwp promos start. Then you have sets going out of stock lots especially ones that have been out for a while. I guess I'm kinda late to collecting lego in a sense, there was a time where I wasn't fully into it then I finally was making my own money and ordered the pirates of barracuda bay in December 2020 and went from there. My biggest issue I have is lego is already expensive as it is, then you have investors going and mocking up the prices.. sure it's a collectable thing... but I think it's more of a problem.. because of you want something you got to get it while it's available otherwise good luck finding something for a good price... Then there are investors who are only in it for the money and not the hobby those ones really trigger me. Like someone said in a video there is a sense of fear of missing out. And it truly sucks.

[@TheBrickQuest]

I can understand your frustration Ryley! I try to only buy my investment sets when they are about to retire so people have a chance to get their hands on them during their time on the shelf. Typically I buy at retirement which is around the holidays so that is why I will get a lot of duplicates on the holiday GWPs. I also see the benefit in resellers in that they give me the opportunity to buy an old retired set that maybe I couldn’t get my hands on when it was on the shelves. It may cost more but at least I can get the set. I have quite a few sets on my list that I want to buy from when I wasn’t really into LEGO that I will need to buy from resellers.

[@leeshurmer7063]

Great investment portfolio and nice to see someone else organised as me with sets!! 👍 Interested to know how long you average out on holding sets, only reason I ask is a few there are currently worth a lot at the moment … the Stranger Things for instance is making good money with the new series out at present. So do you monitor spikes in interest or have an average hold time?

[@TheBrickQuest]

Thanks! I typically hold for around 2-3years. Most sets start to slow down in overall growth around that time. To be honest having tried timing the trends but I could see how that would be a great way to get a quick boost in price/sale. Something I might have to consider moving forward. Is that something you typically watch carefully Lee?

[@leeshurmer7063]

@@TheBrickQuest Have to agree with you there, with my normal investment portfolio … the 2/3 year wait. But in the last few years I have been monitoring the spikes in certain sets and have tried to follow it. But as you’re well aware, very hard to know what will and what won’t … but I do try to monitor new TV series or movies that can be related to sets. So for instance, have gone into the Venom and Carnage heads deep … not just because the Carnage one is an exclusive, but due to the new film/tv series due in 2023/4!! The Stranger Things I went big on and had 10 of those at £130, now going for nearly £300 and didn’t even hold on to them for a year. Anyway, enjoy your videos and content … keep up the good work. 👍

[@patriksanfilippo4678]

Hi, I'm very surprised to see you buy straight from Lego, of course paying a high price are you doing this for any particular reason?

[@TheBrickQuest]

Good question Patrik. So I get a lot of my retired sets from LEGO around their Balck Friday sales. They typically discount sets that aren’t normally discounted somewhere in the 20-30% range plus I can get the stocked gift with purchases and sometimes double vip on top of the discount. It ends up being a great deal for semi hard to get sets that don’t get discounted regularly. I’m always trying to find some discount though wether it’s LEGO or another retailer.

I invest in the last 20 years and I can tell you that with all the rereleased investment becomes really tricky I hope u will succeed but if you check your set at the moment its not that great……

I was thinking about picking up a Lego Assembly square set tomorrow on double vip day. I was curious to hear your thoughts about it as an investment. Do you think I should go for it, or invest in a different set instead? I think it’s suppose to retire very soon. Thanks in advance!

[@TheBrickQuest]

I think that is a great idea since I believe it probably will retire soon. I think Assembly Square is going to do very well in the after market since it’s a modular plus it’s the 10th anniversary set which adds extra buzz around the set as a collectors item.

I think Titanic will be an amazing investment once it gets ready to retire. I’m sure I will pick up several around retirement, whenever that might be.

@@TheBrickQuest You have cheaper Lego too

[@vonfragyou]

Lego raising prices should have impact on the old sets too. Not sure sets over 350$ will go up in price much. Do you build Lego sets?

[@TheBrickQuest]

I would hope so! Prices going up with LEGO should mean they go up across the board for investment sets as well. I build a lot of Lego. At some point I will do a new Lego room tour video to show where all my built and displayed Lego sets are located.

Nice inventory. Very impressive. Let me share with you a lesson hard learned. For what it's worth. Store all stock in cartons---boxes. There are all sorts of damaging things that crop up in time. If you are selling to people who just want to build their sets, not as big a deal. I use inventory labels on my cartons, facing outward, which are good for quickly finding things.

[@TheBrickQuest]

Thanks for the feedback! I have tried to do that in the past but storage has been an issue. I try to keep the larger more expensive sets boxed up if I can. You make a great point though that it is best to try to keep them in boxes if you were able to prevent damage.

[@noampitlik2332]

​@@TheBrickQuest I am thinking about how I might be able to shrink-wrap my long-term holds. I have a couple of the older Asian holiday sets from Ebay that someone put in these clear sleeves, I really like that.

@@resaledragon ya that is a cool idea! I have never tried that but it sounds like it would do a nice job of protecting the sets overtime from scratches etc.

[@_unun_]

im trying to invest in lego, where and how should i start?

[@TheBrickQuest]

Good question! I would start out with buying sets that fit into your budget and can pay cash for. Don’t use credit. Start looking for popular sets this holiday season that have a good discount for 20-50% off. Then resell them once you can double your money after fees. Rinse and repeat that process a few times until you can start building up a good LEGO investing fund.

You have a recommendation for a lego star wars investment?

[@zepete5]

A real business man would never invest in Lego HW so please just say you are a collector 😎!

[@TheBrickQuest]

I am a collector and investor. The definition of investing is to expend money with the expectation of achieving a profit. Much of my LEGO has been bought sold with some amazing profit. It’s just another way to try to make money just like the stock market.

[@depressedpumpkin7290]

No offence, but how is this a worthwhile investment? Once you count in the cost of space, sellers fees accounting for ~ 10% final value fee, loss of product or damaged product that happens in all resale, insurance premiums to cover everything you own and income tax on sales since you're most definitely unable to slip under the tax man's radar with that amount of product whilst still beating out inflation? Not to mention your own time of individually listing, packaging and shipping everything upon time of sale. The odd sets value does go insane, but spread out over many, the average return likely has you at a loss or working minimum wage on a 5 year investment hold. That's if there isn't economic decline which leads to the collectibles and toy market shrinking.

[@TheBrickQuest]

No offense taken. If you buy low and sell high with a popular set, it is pretty typically to double your money after all expenses are factored in the sale. Not every set will be double but it should average out if the right sets are purchased. It’s also about the enjoyment for me. It’s part of the hobby. Finding sets at a good deal and then watching the value ride up after retirement.

[@ianfitton9400]

I have been investing in lego for nearly 30 years and like he said if you invest correctly you can make a very good return,lots of sets have become very rare(also the minifigures can make a set price go crazy) look at a cloud city boba fett as an example! But like all investments it carries risk but for me I have had far more hits than misses and I'm no investment genius

[@TheBrickQuest]

@@ianfitton9400 very true Ian! Thanks for the feedback!

[@scottrogers2186]

Why not sell off the sets in your inventory that you don't believe in now and re-allocate the money? I am still learning and have made some mistakes so I am getting rid of those and re-allocating.

[@TheBrickQuest]

Great question Scott! I guess I haven’t done it yet in the hopes that the value still may get better, but your right. The money would be better served elsewhere with some of those sets regardless. I might have to start looking at liquidating some of the bad purchases.
