same. Mine have been steadily declining the last 2-3 years. Still a fair amount by "normal person" standards, but much less than 2010-13. Partly due to no interesting themes (to me), partly due to the lack of discounted exclusive policy, and partly due to the ever increased focus on minifigures at the expense of…

   So, I was doing some research on Pirate Ships and I thought I would share some info. Brickbeard's Bounty came out in 2009 and retired in 2010. It was out exactly a year and cost $99.99 USD. According to Brickpicker, its market value is $260.20 USD. The Black Pearl came out in 2011 and was also $99.99. It retired in 2012;…

   So what do you think about the future of reselling sets bought from this point forward? It seems that there are a number of factors that have evolved recently that make it much more difficult nowadays than it was a mere two years ago. 1) The concept of the BOGO has diminished greatly the last couple years with restrictions…

   I believe the peak of purchasing Lego for reselling purposes occurred in the 2010-2011 timeframe. Some of the sets that come to mind include: #8683 Series 1 Collectable Minifigures - These were the first CMFs released...and for $1.99 each no less. The ROI on these in sealed condition is now in the 10X-15X range. #8684…

   I am in agreement about the IS #10212. I will be holding onto them for another year before I start to unload. Well, minus the one I just traded to @iancam33 for some HP sets. I totally missed the boat on HP, so I have nothing to add there. As for what I will be unloading this Christmas. Obviously none of these have peaked,…

 Taj-Mahal has not been around long enough to be a "long-term" investment. Nor has the the original UCS Millennium Falcon. The first Taj Mahal set was released in 2008 and retired around 2010, a mere 7 years ago. I was still in my Dark Age then, and the "Lego worth more than gold" articles seem to date from late 2015.…

   ^ Yes, I doubt it has much resale value as there will be another series of something else in-house which is just as fun in 2 / 5 / 10 years time. Think back about 5 years as to what the in-house play theme was ... 2011 Pharoah's Quest - not a great seller now 2010 Atlantis - not a great seller now 2009 Power miners - not a…

   You have no argument from me there; there certainly are more people reselling today than any time previously. But I'm quite sure the same has been true with each successive year since the 1990's. With that comes an overall increase in competition: both in acquiring stock and unloading it. What I was saying was that I see…
