Collectors and investors are both problems for normal people who just want one to play with. Collectors are hoarders who horde cool stuff, investors are hoarders who sell their cool stuff which is better imo because they are least refill the market somewhat. Guys who just want 100 of each set to have on a shelf are just causing problems for no reason.
Collectors can be just as bad at times during the may the 4th sale it sold out before I could buy one and I do know that a lot of non collectors/resellers bought it but I bet a decent amount of the people buying it were collectors or resellers buying it for cheap so they could resell it later
I think it will be good investing I know some people are saying it’s like the 501st battle pack but they will be pretty darn hard to find like for example right now in the USA.
I don’t think so, many people as said in the video will be buying this set with the intention/thought on making a huge profit. Which will make the Cody figure less rare + LEGO will probably throw him in another set like a wheelbike for example
Right yeah, if people are saying it’s gonna be valuable, bc as soon as it’s really hard to find bc everyone’s bought them all/retires every person who bought 2-3 will put it up at inflated prices JUST BECAUSE, the 501st will do the same after retirement, but the funniest part to me is that I bet you they’ll put Cody in a cheaper set just to put a finger to the investors lol
Rex has been included in multiple sets and he’s worth $200 plus….. I have 10 of the 2022 atte sets. They will be worth hundreds. Just like the ucs at ats I have the general veers/ snow trooper commander are exclusive to that set.
Would have preferred if the clonetroopers were based off the live action movies rather than the cartoony Clone Wars animated look, unfortunately it looks lego is using the animated Clone Wars prints for ALL clonetroopers for LA AND CW sets, which is honestly such a terrible decision. The print quality is pretty poor too. the orange on the helmets don't end in a point on the forehead, and there should be orange dots around the circles on the backs of the 212th troopers. If they stuck with the superior 2014 print design, I would defiantly pick this up, but unfortunately we are still stuck with a Clone Wars animated Commander Cody and it's a huge turnoff
@@dealwatch432 True. Personally it's not as big of a deal as the printing on the clonetroopers, since you could simply build a crab droid. You can't change then printing on the clones. Still would have been nice to finally get a offical crab droid build though.
Just because it’s popular doesn’t mean it won’t be valuable after retirement. I believe even if this sells lien hotcakes there will be some that will wait and wait until it’s to late
True. But think about it this way. Once this set retirers new people getting into Star Wars LEGO will most likely want to buy it. Since they never got a chance to. I only see the popularity of this set as a problem in the short term of retirement. But with LEGO investment who really knows.
@@KronoX01 It could be. However, it is a far more expensive set than the 501'st battle pack. Meaning a fewer number of people are likely to pick it up. Still, I do agree that the popularity of this set could slow its growth 1-2 years into retirement.
In short, no. Do not invest in lego. You will be laughed at. Never buy sets on the basis of it being expensive in the future. Just see it as a lucky break if a set is worth more later on.
I have to respectfully disagree. Yes if you just blindly invest in any LEGO set you could very well lose money. However, if you do the research and developed an eye for it you can definitely make money investing in LEGO.
I get what you mean, however i have to disagree, i've been investing in LEGO for about a decade at this point, and almost every sale i made managed to gather a profit, albeit some sets and minifigs do appreciate more rapidly than others and tend to grasp more value, once you developed an eye for potential sets to invest in and an idea of the market demand you are able to make significant profits on your investments.
