Title: My LEGO Investing Room Tour! And a Look at my Personal Collection
Transcript:
[Background music playing]
What’s up LEGO fans, Jake here! It’s been a minute since I posted a YouTube video, and that’s because what you see all around me has been unfolding over the last several weeks. I’ve been unpacking my entire LEGO inventory from its boxes.
But what we have right here is my entire inventory, and I felt like I should give you guys a little bit of a look on how I display my sets – ones that I use for investing, those that I have as part of my personal collection, and everything in between. So, let’s kind of give you guys a little bit of a room tour, I guess, a basement tour, of all the sets that I have here, and an inside look into my inventory that I use as part of my eBay store. Let’s jump into it!
[Camera moves to shelf number one]
Alright, stop number one on the LEGO room tour is right here, shelf number one. We’ve got a few sets up there, and then the rest of the shelf is full of cardboard boxes. And these are actually filled with some of my smaller sets, like promos, battle packs, anything that doesn’t take up a ton of space. I pack them pretty tightly into a cardboard box and put them there on the shelf.
You’re probably a little bit confused at my numbering system here, box 10, box 78. They’re a little bit all over the place because I had to number each individual box when I was moving the entire collection. And these are the boxes that survived, I had to consolidate a ton, I emptied a bunch. So, these are the boxes we have filled with smaller sets that I have as part of my spreadsheet on an inventory listed at each shelf. The box number, all of that detail is on a spreadsheet that I have. And so, that’s shelf number one, a few sets up top.
[Camera moves to shelf number two]
Let’s see, we’ve got some of the old Kohl’s promo mech sets, a Walmart Star Wars promo combo pack, a couple Batmobiles up there, and then a few city sets. Let me show you guys a couple more shelves, some other things we’ve got on the collection room tour.
[Camera continues to move to shelf number two]
Stopping over here at shelf number two, we’ve got a bunch of the Spider-Man Venomosaurus Ambush LEGO sets. That’s a set that I thought would do pretty well post-retirement, and went pretty deep on it. I got a few of them on discount, and I think it’s trying to get around $150, which I’m pretty impressed with. Hoping I can get it up to $200 around Christmas time.
I have people ask me in the past what shelves do I use. I have a link in the description below to a link on Amazon – they’re 24 by 48 by 72 Muscle Rack Ed sole shelves. I’ve picked them up at Walmart in the past, I picked them up at Menards and Amazon. The prices vary significantly, and I’ve noticed over the last several months the prices have gone up tremendously. But that’s what I use, you can vary the height of the shelving units. They’re not the best, but I’m kind of cheap and I don’t like to spend more than like $200 on a shelving unit. But these have kind of done the job up to this point, and I can fit the sets in here specifically. So, we’ve got some Venomosaurus Ambushes, we’ve got this set right here, the Heartlake City Amusement Pier LEGO set, a couple passenger trains, and then over here I’ve got the Jungle Rescue Base as well. That’s a few sets down there.
[Camera moves to shelf number three]
If we keep walking back here to shelf number three, we’ve got a bunch of the Pirates of Barracuda Bay LEGO sets. I think seven of those, a ton of the Crocodile Locomotive. And we’ve got 15 – count them – 15 Harley-Davidson Creator sets. There was a deal a long time ago on harleydavidson.com where you get these for – I think they were 40% off, they were $60 trending around $120-$130. I’m hoping it’ll bump up a little bit, hasn’t had as big a jump as I originally thought. But went pretty deep on the Harley-Davidson.
A couple more Pirates of Barracuda Bay, if we sneak farther back here, we’ve got the Batman Tumbler, a couple Land Rover sets, the Vespa scooter – that one I’m gonna be building as part of my personal collection. We’ve got Jurassic World, Stranger Things down there, a few more boxes of smaller sets right over here. That is probably the biggest investing mistake I’ll ever make. I bought a ton – count them, a ton – of the AT-ST from The Mandalorian when they were around $35 to $40. I thought the Cara Dune whole drama fiasco was going to make this set appreciate in value a ton; they were going to discontinue the set. It has lived on forever, you could consistently pick it up for $28 on Amazon. I don’t know what it is right now, probably $35. Link for that set is in the description below, but it is probably a poor investment set that I have gone way, way too deep on. We’ll probably end up losing a couple bucks on each one of those.
This one is Jay’s Dragon, that one I’ve got about 12 of. That one, I’m hoping to appreciate some value. An old vintage train set, that set’s worth about $600 bucks. A few more down there, like the T-Rex Rampage, Hagrid’s Hut, some older Ninjago sets, and then a bunch of the Lamborghini Speed Champion sets as well. Let’s go check out another shelf!
[Camera moves to the next shelf]
Alright, this shelf right behind me has all of my LEGO Art sets. About eight of The Beatles set, probably 12 of the Iron Man set, and seven of the Star Wars Sith sets. These ones I had no idea if they would do well, but they’ve done okay post-retirement. Hoping that they can appreciate past the $150-$170 mark. Was able to get most of them on discount. We’ve got a few of the Astronomy Towers back there from Harry Potter, some of the Hidden Side. This is the Hidden Side Castle right there. Down here we’ve got Avengers compounds, a few more Astronomy Towers, and a few odds and ends down there at the bottom as well.
[Camera moves to the next shelf]
Jumping on over to another shelf, Technic Porsche. That set is used as part of my personal collection. Some of the 4×4 Extreme Off-Roader sets, this set has done pretty well post-retirement. That’s the Kylo Ren Shuttle. And then we’ve got a bunch of the London Bus LEGO sets down there at the bottom. I’ve got about seven of those, those have not done that well post-retirement. Maybe if I’m patient enough, they’ll do pretty well.
[Camera moves to the last shelf]
Coming over here to the last shelf, we’ve got our Gingerbread Houses, Aston Martin DB5s, some miscellaneous old vintage sets with damaged boxes – those ones are really, really tough sellers that I’ve picked up from a guy recently. We’ve got a Disney Train down there, a couple Ninjago City Gardens, one of the Lieber Cranes, and then a bunch of the Minecraft Creeper Mine LEGO sets.
That’s just a little room tour, shows you kind of a small window into what I’ve got down here as part of my inventory. And of course, a couple of my personal collection back there. Some sets that I plan on selling that I picked up in used lots.
