Video Title: Every LEGO Star Wars Set Retiring in 2023! from Deal World
Hey there, Lego enthusiasts and aspiring investors! Today, we’re diving into a fascinating video from Deal Watch that covers the retiring Lego Star Wars sets of 2023. Now, hold your horses, because I know our website focuses on Lego investing, but today we’re here purely for the entertainment. So, sit back, relax, and let’s explore these galactic sets.
First up on the chopping block is the enigmatic Justifier set (75323). Honestly, I’m a tad surprised it’s retiring already, considering its unjustifiable price. But fear not, my friends, for this set has one saving grace – the exclusive Cad Bane minifigure. This little guy is currently selling for around 40 USD, and I predict he’ll skyrocket to new heights of 100 to 200 bucks in the coming years.
Moving on, we have Boba Fett’s Throne Room (75326). With a price tag that’s hard to swallow, this set tries to redeem itself with its exclusive minifigures. After all, who can resist the allure of those precious collectibles? Not me, folks.
Ah, the Inquisitor Transport Scythe (75336). Trust me when I say the minifigure selection in this set is divine. We’re talking about exclusive favorites like the Grand Inquisitor and the Fifth Brother, who are fetching an insane amount of money on the secondary market. These minifigures alone might just make this set a worthwhile investment.
Now, brace yourselves for the Death Star Trash Compactor Diorama (75339). A set about trash that is, well, kinda trash itself. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not complete garbage, but you might want to divert your attention to other, more enticing sets on this list. Let’s keep it real, folks.
Let’s take a moment to appreciate the Imperial TIE Fighter (75300). And by appreciate, I mean yawn uncontrollably. This set is about as generic and boring as TIE fighters come. Investing-wise, it’s a hard pass for me. Sorry, not sorry.
Ah, the UCS Republic Gunship (75309). It’s amazing, it’s fantastic, it’s…lacking in the minifigure department. I mean, seriously? Only two lackluster minifigs, one of which is an exclusive Mace Windu? Lego, you’re killing me (and my investment dreams) here. This set had the potential, but alas, it falls short.
Now, let’s tackle the AT-AT (75288). Sigh, my future and the hopes for this set seem to be on the same level – not very high. Lego has already churned out tons of AT-AT playsets, and I doubt the demand will be high enough for this set to make big bucks in retirement. Sorry, AT-AT lovers.
Obi-Wan Kenobi vs. Darth Vader (75334) is up next, and it’s just plain bad. Overpriced and with a giant rock platform as the build, it feels like Lego put little to no effort into this set. The exclusive minifigures are a saving grace, though, but still, the price hike hurts.
Alright, let’s not waste any more time and dive into the Dark Trooper Attack (75324). We’ve got good minifigs, but boy, oh boy, is it overpriced. And what about the Hoth AT-ST (75322)? Decent minifigs, but let’s be real – the demand for this set might not be soaring high in retirement. Proceed with caution.
Now, brace yourselves for the AT-ST (75332), a.k.a. the rip-off set. Lego seems to be boosting the prices of their four-plus sets, and unless you’re a rich four-year-old, I don’t recommend buying this one.
Ah, Obi-Wan Kenobi’s Jedi Starfighter (75333). Exclusive minifigure? Check. Amazing Starfighter? Check. This set screams potential investment. Jedi Starfighters have made bank in retirement, and this one will likely follow suit.
Let’s talk about Boba Fett’s Starship (75312). Ugh, they couldn’t even get the name right? And the minifigures? Not exclusive. It’s safe to say that this Slave I set is one of the weakest we’ve seen in recent times. Hard pass, my friends.
Now, let me introduce you to the Republic Fighter Tank (75342). Brace yourselves for the legendary minifigure selection in this set – three exclusive 187th Troopers, a stellar Mace Windu, and two battle droids. The 187th Troopers are likely to skyrocket in retirement due to their exclusivity, and we all know how much demand there is for clone troopers. This Target exclusive is a definite buy for me.
Moving on, we have Luke Skywalker’s X-Wing Fighter (75301). Personally, I find it more appealing than a TIE fighter, but it’s not captivating enough for me to invest in. Sorry, Luke.
Now, let’s address the Razor Crest (75292). This set has certainly been popular in recent years, but unfortunately, the minifigure selection just doesn’t do it for me. As an investor, I’ll be steering clear of this one.
B1 Battle Droid – a great set with limited potential to make big money in retirement. Let’s leave it at that.
Lastly, the Ambush on Ferrix (75338). This sneaky set is flying under the radar, my friends. It’s a Target exclusive, and the minifigure selection is out of this world. With three exclusive figures sporting excellent printing, this set is already selling for a ton of money. Keep your eyes peeled, folks.
Well, there you have it, fellow brick enthusiasts! A rundown of the retiring Lego Star Wars sets of 2023. But remember, this video is purely for entertainment purposes, not financial advice.
