Subheading: LEGO Sets to Avoid Investing in 2022: A Closer Look at the Worst Choices from Youtuber- Deal Watch
Title: Top 5 Worst LEGO Sets to Invest in 2022 (LEGO Investing)
Hey there, fellow LEGO enthusiasts and investors! Today, we’re diving into the turbulent world of LEGO reselling and I’ve got a list that might save you from making some questionable investment choices. Brace yourselves for the “Top 5 Worst LEGO Sets to Invest in 2022!
Coming in at number five, we have the LEGO Ideas Tree House (21318). Now, don’t get me wrong, this set is a masterpiece in terms of design and popularity. However, its success has led to a saturation of supply, making it potentially less valuable in the retirement phase. Plus, this bad boy has been on shelves for three long years, and there’s no sign of retirement anytime soon. It’s like the career of a middle school teacher—stagnant.
Next up, the 2018 LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts Express (75955). While this set isn’t exactly terrible, it’s been hanging out on retail shelves for ages. That means it’s been excessively purchased by LEGO investors, making it an overbought nightmare. You can now find this set at discounted prices almost everywhere, except at the LEGO store itself. Ah, the regrets of buying two sets for investment purposes.
Moving on to number three, we have the LEGO Marvel Rise of Domo (76156). This Dorito-looking ship may have some nicely detailed Minifigures, but it’s based on the underwhelming movie, Eternals. The lackluster response from fans has led to abysmal demand for this set, and it’s currently selling at a discounted price. Trust me, you don’t want to be underwater like this set.
Taking the number two spot, we have the LEGO Icons Queer Eye Fab 5 Loft (10291). Don’t get me wrong, the set is solid in terms of build quality and exclusive Minifigures. However, the show Queer Eye, while amazing, doesn’t have the same level of popularity as other licensed themes like Friends, Seinfeld, or The Office. Because of this, the Fab 5 Loft has been discounted by a whopping 40% on LEGO.com. Ouch!
And now, the moment we’ve all been waiting for—number one, the dreaded LEGO Dots sets. Look, these sets are great for kids, but they’re the absolute worst for LEGO resellers. With minimal figures, no licensed themes, and a lack of appeal to adult LEGO fans, there’s just no reason for these sets to command a premium in the aftermarket. Investing in Dots is like touching a LEGO dot set with a ten-foot pole—it’s best to steer clear.
There you have it, folks. The top 5 worst LEGO sets to invest in for 2022. With factors such as overbuying, long shelf lives, low demand, and just plain terrible sets, it’s best to avoid these for any hope of a profitable retirement. Some of them are even selling at hefty discounts, so it’s highly unlikely they’ll appreciate much in value.
