How is this podcast not getting 20k views? So many terrific takes here. Keep up the great work guys. As for Indy, I am so disappointed in the zero DoD sets being released. I hope that mayyybe we’ll get some sets in Summer 2024. I really enjoyed the end of this show too about your investing philosophy. I’d love to see you guys do a deeper dive on this topic. Y’all planning an end of year review?

I got 16 of the I Am Groot and Iron Man Armory double packs from Costco last year at $40. Sold all the sets individually this year on Ebay. The Iron Man Armory was a tough sell even at the pretry low price I had them listed at given my good purchase price. I would not touch that set at a 50% discount. Would need to be 70% off to even consider.

Bought 7 of the 75356 at 35% discount. Sold 3 for a 30% profit. Do i keep the other 4 as investement, or to soon? According to Brick Fanatics its retiring in 2024. I know its normally way to soon to buy these as a investement, but as a newbe that has the free space in the house, i could'nt pass them at this price. Thanks for the great vid again, love these good set bad set vids. PS: Totally agree on the Police station. If you put it next to the midieval blacksmith, the blacksmith feelst way to expensive.

If it were me, I'd hold!! But nice job getting a good ROI before it retires!

I love that set. But it's not scheduled to retire anytime soon. IF you can achieve any sort of positive ROI now, I'd sell those, pat yourself on the back, and reinvest into retiring sets. You may even be able to reinvest into sets retiring in 2023, which will begin growing in value much sooner. Good luck!

If I would have to make a guess, I'd say that Dark Trooper Helmet, SW-Dioramas, Tallneck, Ashoka and Modulars are overrated investments. Long shelf lifes, overhoarded and massively hyped. I mean, I've already sold 71767 for twice as much as I bought them for 1 - 2 months ago while the stuff invested in by everyone and their mum barely retired or is still available.

I love 71767, talked about it on episode 4 of the podcast. I'm excited to see what happens with that one! I disagree on this year's modulars being overrated. The police station is already selling for $300. Ahsoka is a no brainer. The other sets you mentioned may be guilty of being overhyped, but I'm waiting before passing judgment.

@@DGBricksYT Well, Police Station and Bookshop are 2 of the few good retiring sets stil available from LEGO in Europe. At least they haven't been discounted during the current end of year sale, I'll give you that. I still think they've been massively overhoarded here due to the demand surge for older modulars during Corona. I also want to point out that I don't think these sets are necessarily bad investments, I just think they are overrated in comparison to some of the under-the-radar sets such as 71767. BTW: Sets considered to not be investment-stuff such as 75300 Imperial Tie Fighter and 75301 X-Wing Fighter, which were both available everywhere for 30-40% (sometimes even 50%) off, have already strongly appreciated here, especially the Tie Fighter: from more than 30% below MSRP to 35% above MSRP. And the X-Wing is actually ranked 6th place in Amazon.de LEGO Bestsellers (though I think that list is flawed). I will definitely pay close attention to 75347 TIE Bomber (very high ranking on Amazon.de lists) this year around. Also, the SW-mechs seem to be highly popular, even if totally un-canon. Should they retire at the end of 2024 I might go deep on them as long as the price is right (probably best to buy them in sets such as Lama, Zombie and Alex). And, of course, botanicals. Botanicals are going to be the new modulars, I think. Should have bought more Bird of Paradise (at least the full quantity from LEGO with 2 x VIP and GWPs), that set saw almost no decent discounts here though.

@@DGBricksYT "Ahsoka is a no brainer." You could be right. At what price point would you say it's worth the effort involved (shipping, handling etc.) for such a low price set? And how fast will this set reach that price point. Buying a set for 60 and selling it for 120 just seems preferrable to me than buying for 10 (or 8) and selling for 25 (shipping fee is negligible small here). Main advantage of Ahsoka is the incredibly low storage demand, I'd say.
