Subheading: The Top Five LEGO Sets You Should Avoid Investing In (Part 2) from Youtuber- Deal Watch
Title: Do NOT Invest in These 5 LEGO Sets!
Hey there, fellow LEGO investors! Today, we’re diving into a video from Deal Watch that highlights the top 5 LEGO sets you should absolutely NOT invest in. So, grab your bricks and let’s get started!
First up, we have the LEGO Star Wars set, the Justifier (set number 75323). Now, this set may look great, but trust me, its retail price of $170 just doesn’t justify its value. With a mere 1,000 pieces and only four minifigs, it’s way overpriced. However, if you stumble upon it at a discount in the range of $100 to $120, it might not be a terrible idea to pick up a few.
Next on the list is the infamous UCS Millennium Falcon (set number 75192). Don’t get me wrong, this enormous set is a masterpiece and a Star Wars fan’s dream come true. But here’s the catch—it’s been on shelves since 2018, and many people have already gotten their hands on it. The supply is large, and retirement seems unlikely anytime soon. Plus, the minifigure selection is nothing groundbreaking. Instead, if you’re looking for a UCS Star Wars set to invest in, go for the Star Destroyer, which is already sold out on LEGO.com.
Moving along, we have set number 75341, Luke’s Land Speeder. Now, this set is, quite frankly, garbage. And even if you manage to find buyers for it in the future, the demand simply won’t be there. Considering there are hundreds of other LEGO Star Wars sets available, why would anyone want to spend $240 on this particular one? It’s safe to say that Luke’s Land Speeder is one of the worst UCS sets LEGO has ever produced. It’s better off left untouched.
Alright, let’s talk about LEGO Friends. Now, let me clarify—I don’t hate the LEGO Friends theme, but when it comes to investing, it’s just not a smart move. The target demographic for Friends sets is primarily young girls, resulting in relatively low demand once they retire. On average, LEGO Friends sets only provide a dismal 5.3% annual return, which pales in comparison to other LEGO themes. So, unless you have a special reason to invest in Friends, I’d steer clear.
Last but not least, we have seasonal BrickHeadz. Now, I’m usually a fan of investing in BrickHeadz, especially when they’re from licensed themes. However, seasonal BrickHeadz don’t fare well on the aftermarket due to their lack of licensing and lower demand. So, not only do they have less attractive returns in retirement, but the nightmare of shipping costs can also eat up your profits. Instead, opt for pretty much any licensed-themed BrickHeadz if you want to invest wisely.
And there you have it, folks—the top 5 LEGO sets you should definitely stay away from if you’re in the investment game. Remember, this is just my opinion, so feel free to share your thoughts in the comments. Until next time, happy investing, and may your LEGO collections keep stacking those profits!
