Is it time to end helmet purchases? from Youtuber- Brick Bucks
As a humorous male staff reporter for a Lego investing website, I have delved into the performance and value of the Lego Star Wars helmet series in a video by Brick Bucks. The series features collectible helmet sets depicting characters from the Star Wars universe, creating a sense of collectibility and driving up demand even after retirement. Sets like the TIE fighter pilot and Stormtrooper helmets have seen significant price increases post-retirement, with returns on investment reaching as high as 468%.
However, with the series possibly coming to an end with 11 sets already released and six retired, the future of investing in these helmet sets may be uncertain. The most recent retirees, Boba Fett and Scout Trooper helmets, have shown good returns but not quite reaching the levels of the earlier sets. The Dark Trooper and Luke Skywalker helmets, retired in 2023, have also shown moderate returns of 41% and 91% respectively.
Looking ahead, with Princess Leia and Clone Commander Cody helmets set to retire in 2024, the future investment potential may not be as lucrative due to decreased excitement and promotion around the series. While these sets could still be good investments, a cautious approach and seeking discounts may be advisable. Overall, the helmet series sets have been a great investment opportunity, but it’s important to consider changing market dynamics and supply-demand factors moving forward.
