   I am able to pick up a 10182 - Cafe Corner (Original Box / Instructions / Bricks) for €320 ($440). Is it worth the investment?

   What do you guys think about GG? Will it pick up more next few years? I know it won't be like 10182 but I think it has some potential. I was surprised to see tantive going up pretty fast. It's sold around $200 now.

   I purchased a MISB 10189 Taj for $800 6 months ago. It goes for $1400 at an auction style listing today. 10196 and 10182 also continue to climb steadily. I just do not see the falling prices that others are apparently seeing. Decrease in demand for the modular line is due to TLG's decision to keep the models around for a…

   Thank you for running the data. Your quantities available appear slightly lower than I would expect. Did you use the number of "Total lots" available instead of "Total Qty" ? For "total Qty" of new complete I get: #10182 CC - 50 currently available #10185 GG - 76 currently available, #10197 FB - 980 currently available,…

   ^ Depends on what you want to compare it to: do you want to exclude outliers like #10182? Promos? Regular sets that nobody really invests in? Do you adjust for inflation? To what degree do you factor in the demand for the set? I don't think it's useful to consider an overall average ROI. Instead compare it to sets in a…

   I think this comment by @CupIsHalfEmpty says it all regarding the TH. To elaborate on his/her comment, here are the current globally available numbers for "new" modular sets for sale on BrickLink that are no longer available from TLG: #10182 CC - 42 currently available, Avg Listed Price = $973 #10185 GG - 50 currently…

   The biggest risers will be those sets that most will underestimate in its post-EOL value and not invest in, keeping the number of MISB examples down. At the time there was no SW sets that came anywhere near £350/$500 and many people baulked at the price. Now it is acceptable to pay that kind of money for a current set. For…

    I stopped considering a sale price I got something at as a good indicator for how other people will do, especially with using ROI. I tend to look more against RRP and how high it is after all things considered, because you are assuming that everyone got that set at that sale price, but that is not always the case. Or maybe…
