The BIGGEST Problem with LEGO Star Wars 

I love it when they remake valuble figs, you see investors crying all over the place.

Remakes devaluing older figures seems like a scalper problem. I'm down to save 90% on a new minifigure

The fact that people are mad/sad when Lego makes actually good minifigures is baffling, people need to stop whining, especially the Lego star wars fans and "investors"

Personally I don't care at all if older figures are devalued because of the newer ones. I want to collect minifigures because I either love the character or I wanna create fun scenes to play around with. I feel investors don't care about the characters or property in general and they're only goal is to make money. It these investors that ruin alot of the fun for me, I can't just have fun with because to do even something small I have shill out a shit ton of money.

Lego Star Wars is a low-key nightmare of a hobby.

It's interesting to think that so many people would buy a $200 minifigure rather than a $20 custom minifigure that is objectively better. I will never fully understand the LEGO market but this video definitely helped out a bit! Another banger video Dani!

We get like a new boba slave 1 every other year but we’ve only ever gotten a single jango slave 1 way way back in 02. Even when they release new episode 2 sets and go as far as including a Christmas jango and young boba in an advent calendar they still refuse.

I have never understood only caring about the mini figs when collecting Lego. Like yeah they are a cool extra, but the whole point is the builds and models. People who buy 100$+ sets that they don’t even want just to get a mini fig are insane to me.

It’s so expensive being a Star Wars Lego collector 🤣. Great video Dani!

Trying to 100% Lego Star Wars just sounds like a nightmare I don't have nowhere near enough money for. I'm just happy to grab some of my favorite vehicles and characters if I can tbh.

Even if I love collecting minifigs, the main reason for me to buy a set is the build first and foremost. I got myself those sets which included vehicles that I like (my personal favourite being the 2015 Lambda class shuttle). I'd only buy a set solely for the minifigures if the set is cheap

The golden age of clone wars sets was mostly a price thing, though. Eg the new AT-TE is definitely better than the Clone Wars era AT-TE, but the CW AT-TE was a £70 set and the new AT-TE is a £120 set. That comparatively low price point made the brand a lot more accessible to kids and as a result was able to generate a ton of nostalgia.

Army building is so dang fun when it happens organically. And by organically I mean only getting new sets that come out mixed with older ones that I don’t have, maybe a second battle pack but that’s it. I have now a whole squad of regular storm troopers for the first time with all the same helmet mold and it looks fantastic. Not the type of person who cares to have a whole entire army just a decent representation of the army itself and you need at least more than 16 for that. Nonetheless I’ve had a blast with the newer waves and collecting older sets as I have seen my mandalorians, storm troopers, and clone troopers all increase in quantity and its soooo fun sorting them all and seeing how many I have and which sets they came from

Great video, dani, i remembered when those old sets came out in the 90s, of course I couldn't afford them at the time.😊

watching this made me question my life choices i owned almost $5000 worth of minifigure that i didnt even know were worth anything

This should have been called: "why lego star wars collectos need a good psychiatrist and it's their own fault"

Figures and characters should be accessible to the people who actually want them instead of market speculators and “”investors””

Awesome video…very very well done..that editing must have been time consuming..but so worth it..thank you..🫶🏼❤️🥰👍🌹💕

I just find this all so stupid. Lego is a toy. I buy lego because it’s fun to build.

This is my 2nd or 3rd video I’m watching from your channel and your really funny 😂

It’s great to see you uploading again Dani keep up the good work 😀

Amazing video, so well put together ! Thanks so much, this was deeply intersting to watch and very entertaining :)

Well, I'm glad I got your channel recommended to me because I have a couple of those rare minifigs! I need to dig out my old Jango and Watto!

Such a good video!! Great job dani

The problem with Lego Star wars is that between 2009 and 2014, lego sold insane amounts of Star Wars sets, because the sets were actually very good and (for lego standards) fairly valued. Soon after though, Lego started noticing they didn't actually need to make good Star Wars sets to sell a lot. Additionally, they noticed that people would pay A LOT for Star Wars, so they just started raising prices through the roof for no reason. It's never gonna go back because even though the actual fans are buying it less and less, now scalpers and "investors" run all over it. There's absolutely no reason for Lego to increase Quality as, if they've proven one thing in the past ten years, the company does not give a flying fuck for fans and regular customers.

Great video dani i missed you have a great week 👍

Interesting, what will be with Rex P2 after releasing new Venator? For collectors it's both good and bad, cause you can buy another minifugure to your collection but the value will decrease

Great video, stellar editing as always 👏

I recently found the pieces and rebuilt my Pre Vizsla minifig, which is in good shape actually. Gives me so much nostalgia and good memories back when they gifted me the Lego Pre Vizsla's Mandalorian Starfighter set. One of my all time favourite lego sets with also one of my favourite minifigs. I honestly couldn't care less that it's worth a lot in the second hand market, cause for me it holds a lot of sentimental value

I use to have the utapau battle pack too. Only was able to find one of the paratrooper helmets when I was looking for them in my clone bin.

Why should I care if sets get devalued?? There meant to be toys not money makers. I collect because they look cool but not to resell. It's nice knowing they hold value but that shouldn't be the reason that someone has to pay $200 for a legit p2 Rex.

0:52 Easy Answer, I don't want to loose my life saving 😅

Just wanna say this video was done really well. Loved it

i just love your videos keep it up !

i actually have the darth mag figure, thats probably the only old mini figure other then my cloud city boba, i really wish i started collecting star wars sets when they came out😔

I don’t care about old figs if I want those characters I want those characters

Wow another super cool video ❤ thanks

Phenomenal content! Thanks Dani.

Great editing!

Do you have any idea where I could get 5th brother legs? I have the torso head and shoulder accessory but the 5th brother legs arent on bricklink

Great video dani!

my brother had the boba fett from the cloud city lego. We never collected lego, we just had a few far an btween and played with them. After we grow up, i took the boba fett and turned it into a keychain. funny to find out the it is valuable.

And this is why I've stopped collecting LEGO Star Wars. Sacrificing a week of meals for a plastic figure is literally a dumb descion. I'm now a modular guy. Its slightly easier.

This is great! Basically just get what you like and what you can and enjoy... 😊

NOOOOO I was sleeping when this came out and this is such a cool video idea!

Wasn’t so hard to collect them all a few years ago. Been collecting from the start. There’d be one of two I didn’t get on release, like OG cloud city. But you could buy most on the second hand market for a small markup years later. Bought Cloud City for £100 4-5 years after it came out. Darth Revan is the only character I don’t have. Was on my wish list but never got around to it. 2-3 years ago was around the £30 mark now just crazy pricing.

This was perfect. This is what kids should be learning about in school!

loved the editing

Where are you buying your lego minifigures from? I have a few of those and are looking to sell them?

I agree you never know for sure if a minifigure will hold its value based on the set if its remade in a cheaper or set or not, I could have bought Queen Amidala originally and if i sold it today I would have profited more money than I bought her for, but back then I wasn't thinking about that. There always is a roll of a dice with this stuff if you're only looking to profit, but overall I think if you have been in this industry years, and you have a good knowledge of what's exclusive and valuable and what isn't and you buy a new set with a new fig and don't open it for 2 plus years overall the value goes up. I grew up with Lego Star wars it holds a deep place in my heart and I know it does to many other people too. But if you take an honest look at it from an economical pov you realize there is more money in investing in this hobby than any other toy or even stock for that matter. The value 99% of the time only goes up, the only hard part to this sport is, buy new exclusive set, don't open it for 2+ years, find a buyer.

Wow, that video was awesome!!! Like documentary awesome!

Good to know that saving all my Star Wars legos sets from my childhood have some value. I was that kid who had every prequels Lego set back in the day. I’ll wait another decade and maybe sell them so my kid has a college fund lol

Hey I’ve got that boba fett from jabbas prize. Is that valuable?

I have a P2 captain red but without tally marks on the helmet, is it rare?

theres just too many factors to judge, youve got 1 set figures, exclusive figs, old figs, misprints,swapouts, new shows about characters. even factors like a figure being in a shit set, because noone buys it so they become incredibly limited in quantity, famous characters, even lego games have impact people wanna get the version thats in the game they played for nostalgia, likelihood of remakes (paz vizsla is a good recent example of that one), theres just soooooo much that goes into it that makes judging the future values ridiculously hard even characters deaths push up their prices and unique prints and molds aswell

Whatever makes scalpers (or "investors" as they call themselves) sad, makes me happy

I think people complaining about resale value decreasing is stupid

3:04 as someone who used to race BMX this was both a jumpscare to hear that beep again and tragic to see them all go over the gate... also the idea that remakes 'devalue' minifigures is stupid - what do you want LEGO to do? stop producing sought after, popular characters so random people online can inflate the value to to point where you have to decide whether to eat for a month or have a LEGO minifigure

i have the lego set 9500 sith fury class interceptor with the darth malgus minifig and i cant find it at the moment lost it and it costs 310 euros in my country

I really need to go look in my attic now 😂

Is the chrome vader face valuable because I have it

I’m completely fine with Lego making and having some more exclusive versions of figs that are more rare because it’s for the people who will want it for that reason while they can also make similar versions or different versions of figs that most average consumers aren’t going to care about that stuff

Betrayal at cloud city was 2018 btw

Great video!

Dani Bob who are your top 5 favorite lego figures

im here decently early also i absolutely love your videos keep it up

I was wondering if you would post again.

can you made please review of lego Star Wars 75256 kylo tens shuttle please ?

These are children’s toys not investment items. If it bothers people that much that Lego, the company that actually makes the toys, remakes valuable figures in order to - shocker - sell more toys, then they need to get a grip on reality. Lego couldn’t care less about the secondhand value of a figure, nor should they.

Crazy thing is the Finch Dallow was a free mail in for people who bought the set before the swap!

“Everybody’s favourite cloud city boba fett minifigure” except mine unpopular opinion but I think it is bad

Not a problem, its good. Everyone can get their favourite characters cheap bow

Seeing the prices many of these sets and figures fetch, that I USED to own as a kid, kills me a little inside.

I had one of the light up saber figs but the light arm broke off running the figure

What is the name of the site where you can see all the Star Wars minifigures?

1999 - 2008: The Bronze Era 2009 - 2014: The Golden Era 2015 - 2019: The Palladium Era 2020 - 2024: The Platin Era

I bought a tie-fighter, a tie bomber, a falcon, an x-wing an at-st, razor crest and an N1. All in the last couple of years. My shelf is full and now and i'm moving on from lego star wars.

Honestly, screw the scalpers I hate them

Yay a new video

this is not star wars related but when the 60s classic tv series batmobile joker pursuit set was coming out i bought a classic tv series robin from the batcave from few years back for much cheaper than it is worth now because it got much more expensive after this set came out

Great video! Rock star!

My god i have that malgus figure from when i was a kid

Lego is only worth as much as people think they are. Phase 2 Rex really isnt thst rare, but continue to tell people hes expensive and people will think hes expensive.

Seeing the ones who complain about figures being in cheaper sets makes me laugh

its a literal minifigure calm down

GREAT VIDEO 💙❤️💛

She’s alive!!!

If people collect starwars figs just for their monetary value then they should just collect money instead. REMAKE THE CHARACTERS

It’s the fucking COST. I remember the original set from episode 2 with Dooku and Yoda was $10. Now a set like that would be $30

great video,

the cape cost 100 dollars

Man the ucs millennium falcon better not retire soon because i want ot still

Wow I never realized my Jango Fett Slave I was that valuable in $! But I won't trade that, my memories as a child playing with it is more valuable :)

The rang finder piece on the thumbnail is flipped

Hi dani!

Investors when a children’s toy company remakes a 2 inch piece of plastic that hasn’t been released for over 10 years:😢😢😢😢

1:13 Someone is missing the original Jango Fett 😅

I like collecting genuine lego, and when i have the money ill pay lots of money for a fig. Im not opposed to customs tho, really cool to own lol

They need to rerelease The Old Republic sets…

As a watch collector these values doesn't seem to be crazy, but what strikes me is. Does that mean all these mini-figs simply were departed from its original set? if so wouldn't it be more logical for the owner of those sets to re-sell them as a complete set? I can imagine pulling mini figs out selling them individually will give you a higher return right? If so people can simply buy complete sets at a "cheaper" but inflated retail rate and simply sell the mini figs and the rest of the set can be scrap as parts.
