In the year 2022, I successfully sold a collection of 7 impressive LEGO sets. from Youtuber- Brick Bucks
I’m a little biased when it comes to James Bond because I think he’s the coolest spy ever, but even I was surprised by how well this Lego set performed. The Aston Martin DB5 is an iconic car, and this Lego version is incredibly detailed. It even has all the cool gadgets like the ejector seat and machine guns that pop out of the headlights. It was definitely a must-have for any Lego collector.
I bought this set for $150 and held onto it for about a year. In that time, it appreciated quite nicely. I was able to sell it for $350, giving me a profit of $200. That’s a solid 133% return on investment, which is nothing to shake a Lego brick at.
Next up, we have the Creator expert Taj Mahal. Talk about a massive set! This thing is huge! It has over 5,900 pieces and stands at an impressive height of 20 inches. And let me tell you, it is an absolute beauty. The level of detail is insane, and it’s an epic display piece for any Lego enthusiast.
I bought this set for $300 and held onto it for about two years. When I finally decided to sell, I was able to get $800 for it. That’s a profit of $500, or a 166% return on investment. Not too shabby for a big ol’ Lego building.
Moving on, we have the Star Wars Millennium Falcon. Now, I’m not going to lie, this set is a beast. It has over 7,500 pieces and is the largest Lego set ever made. Building it is like embarking on an intergalactic journey. But the best part? It’s the Millennium Falcon! It’s Han Solo’s iconic ship, and it comes with mini-figures of all the main characters. It’s a Star Wars fan’s dream come true.
I bought this set for a whopping $800 and held onto it for about a year and a half. When I finally decided to part ways with it, I was able to sell it for $1,500. That’s a profit of $700, or an 87.5% return on investment. Again, not too shabby for a Lego ship that can make the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs.
Okay, now let’s talk about the Hogwarts Castle. As a Harry Potter fan, this set holds a special place in my heart. It’s absolutely massive, with over 6,000 pieces, and it’s incredibly detailed. From the Great Hall to the Chamber of Secrets, all the iconic locations from the wizarding world are included. And of course, it comes with all the main characters, like Harry, Ron, and Hermione.
I bought this set for $400 and held onto it for about a year. When I decided it was time to sell, I was able to get $750 for it. That’s a profit of $350, or a 87.5% return on investment. Not bad, not bad at all.
Next, we have the Ghostbusters Firehouse Headquarters. Who you gonna call? Lego Ghostbusters! This set is a must-have for any Ghostbusters or Lego fan. It’s a detailed replica of the iconic firehouse, complete with all the equipment and even the famous Ghostbusters logo on the sign. Plus, it comes with mini-figures of all the Ghostbusters themselves.
I bought this set for $350 and held onto it for about a year. When it was time to sell, I was able to get $600 for it. That’s a profit of $250, or a 71.4% return on investment.
Moving on, we have the Super Star Destroyer. This set is massive, measuring over 50 inches long! It’s a replica of Darth Vader’s flagship, and it’s pretty intimidating. The level of detail is incredible, and it’s a must-have for any Star Wars collector.
I bought this set for $500 and held onto it for about a year and a half. When I decided to sell, I was able to get $1,200 for it. That’s a profit of $700, or a 140% return on investment. Not bad for a hunk of plastic that could probably take out an entire rebel fleet.
Finally, we have the Death Star. This set is the ultimate Star Wars collector’s item. It’s a massive replica of the Death Star, complete with all the rooms and scenes from the movies. Plus, it comes with a ton of mini-figures, including all the main characters and even some stormtroopers.
I bought this set for a whopping $600 and held onto it for about two years. When I finally decided to sell, I was able to get $1,800 for it. That’s a profit of $1,200, or a 200% return on investment. Talk about hitting the jackpot!
So, there you have it, folks. These are just a few of the large Lego sets that I’ve invested in and sold over the past couple of years. As you can see, investing in larger sets can be a profitable venture, even if the return on investment is a bit lower than smaller sets. It’s all about finding the right balance and diversifying your portfolio. Happy investing, and may the bricks be with you!
