It's the return of the TIER LIST! Kevin has tallied the top 25 most discussed non-Star Wars sets this year, and today we're ranking them from first to worst. There are some amazing Brickheadz, Icons, Ideas, Ninjago, & more in this list. What do we think of these potential investments? Over the course of the video it became quite obvious that Kevin & I have some different views than a lot of the community on these sets, so today we're ranking them (in our opinion). Hope you enjoy!

The Lord of the Rings brickheadz will do extremely well, I think. We have new LOTR sets out in Rivendell and Barad-dur, plus a new Pete Jackson movie coming. The hype and interest in LOTR is going to increase, plus you already have a huge and dedicated fanbase.

@aNgiesSchlauNg 14 дней назад

Great video a lot of good banter and information here! Is this all based on if you never open the box or does value still go up if you built the sets?

@DGBricksYT 9 дней назад

Mostly we discuss sealed set values here on the Podcast. Some set values go up even used/built, but it's less pronounced and consistent than new in sealed box performance.

What do you think about retirement vs savings? A model example: Captain Rex Helmet is not retiring this year, but you walk into a local store and they have 8 boxes (in perfect condition) for 50% off! It is hard to ignore it just because it is not retiring... Would you buy? I would!

@DGBricksYT Месяц назад

Great question. It sounds counterintuitive, but because the Rex isn't scheduled to retire for another 18 months, I'd pass on that deal, or if I picked it up I'd sell them for a profit immediately. Why have your money sitting on the shelf, not even starting to grow in value for 1.5 years? In that time you could buy a whole other class of sets from June to December 2024, use them to double your money by August/September of 2025, then turn around and reinvest those profits into Rex at 20 or 30% off in late 2025.

@Badgers_9 Месяц назад

@roverboy006 Месяц назад

Doing some research, LotR did not take off until 2020. It was relatively flat until then with only modest gains for first 6-7 years. They have tripled in the past 4 years. My 10 year old son loves and plays Sonic, it is not a boomer thing. The movies have reintroduced him to a young generation.

@kdxbricksanalytics Месяц назад

Great points! Glad to hear sonic is getting new followers...sonic was huge for me in my childhood!

@DGBricksYT Месяц назад

I noticed the same thing after we recorded, checking the LOTR sets, they all exploded in 2020. I didn't know Sonic appealed to the young generation, I just remember people memeing the 2020 movie so badly they had to delay it and redo the art style 😳

@loksterchu7398 Месяц назад

Hey DG. Always enjoy your vids. If the Ninjago City Gardens is an absolutely winner then why would you only think about picking up one for investment. Surely you would pick up as many as you could if the price point was correct. Yes, I know it’s large, pricey, storage etc, but it’s A-tier, so why not load up?

@DGBricksYT Месяц назад

Thanks. I do love that set for investment, and I think I said I'd pick one up for personal build and at least one more for investment. If I get the right price I'd be open to getting 5-10 Ninjago city gardens, absolutely.

@Pierce-qp5ex Месяц назад

Eldorado could do easily be what happened to those batwing sets, one does well (pirates of barricuda) then for the next set too many people pick it up when there is low demand. PoB did well bc the demand was low, but so was the supply. Now there will be higher supply, but the demand won't keep up.

@dereklee7009 Месяц назад

Good video. But when I see your Star Wars tiers I question how well you know the source material. For example, you can’t army build with that gunship because it’s the wrong color. The colors represent different groups of clones, had it been say purple you could use it for Mace windu’s army. But red are the clones that basically hang around Coruscant or guard politicians.

@DGBricksYT Месяц назад

I see people army building with the Coruscant Gunship all the time. You're right that people may not want to buy 4-6-8 of them, but I think people are still going to want it, especially if there's no regular playscale gunship available.

@dereklee7009 Месяц назад

@@DGBricksYT really, I’m surprised to see them in an army. The guys I know that army build take the details to an extreme. Extreme at least in my opinion. But it makes some clone sets very desirable and others not so much. I always ask them what they are buying and how many. My read is they don’t love it, but it’s sort of the best available so they are torn. And how much would they pay if they are torn on a set I guess we will have to wait and see

@mpc007 Месяц назад

50 for 3 brickheadz is no doubling your money. Buy-in is 3x9.99=30, ebay fees are 11% and then some sold offers include free shipping which at least will cost 5 or 6 bucks. Brings your profit down to net sale down to 40 over a 30 investment. Thats roughly 30% and might not even be worth the trouble for a few coins. I like the analysis guys but please only talk NET PROFIT when discussing EOL sets and looking at sold Ebay lots. Just ordered the big Ninjago set last week in order to get the latest batch of GWPs. Really like the design so not sure whether I want to keep it until next year sealed or just build it. Its not really being sold by other shops over here

@kdxbricksanalytics 25 дней назад

very good point, but a couple counter points for ya 🙂 (1) I was just rounding to approximately doubling and (2) remember, DG and I basically never pay retail. I got my minecraft brickheadz during black friday, so I stacked 2x Insider points, GWPs and Rakuten...so I think my buy in was approx. $7 instead of $10. With that, I've doubled my investment. Take care!

@tonyricca8116 Месяц назад

As always great video guys. My advise would be very cautious at looking at sold prices on eBay and sold on Amazon at the current moment the global and national economic conditions don’t look good at all and inflation is killing households and I see very dark times ahead. ..I would be very careful about pricing out items and I also see extra longer hold times which is ok as lomb as this is a side gig only.

@adeoetrege Месяц назад

Polish speed champions market is different. Revently I sold my last 76912 for 40$, Supra is already 22.5$, Jesko almost 20$, Aston Martin 76911 also 19$. European Amazons keep prices high or are out of stock with 2023 eols. LEGO is fixing Polish prices in a few days for 573 sets (lowering 5-12%), unfortunately not Ferrari or Lambo.

@DGBricksYT Месяц назад

Every market is different. Do you have a source for the Polish price reduction? That's a very interesting development.

It's definitely the platform with the most bad actors. The consensus seems to be that the scams and returns are just CODB on the world's largest marketplace...

@cariad4297 Месяц назад

@@DGBricksYT It really depends on the scale you are selling at. We sell low 6 figures on Amazon with Lego making up ~40% of sales currently. After Q4/2024 our high value Lego inventory will be completely migrated to other platforms. In our experience the level of fraud increases significantly once the item price gets over $150.

@raindogs Месяц назад

I've followed you guys for quite a while now but boy, did you ever disappoint with this video. How in the world can The Office (21336) not be in your top 25?!? It was announced that it's retirement is moving up to Dec 2024 at the same time that we had the Star Wars retirement news in May. The set is a WalMart exclusive, the TV series is still wildly popular, 15 very likeable minifigures, all unique to the set and a not-great-but-not-so-bad 10.3 PPP. To make it even more valuable, it's the base for many Rebrickable city projects. To finish up, it's a fun build with many Easter Eggs built into the set. But that's ok, you guys keep talking about Tales of The Space Age and the NES set and just leave the Office to those of us that want to make money investing.

@DGBricksYT Месяц назад

We didn't pick the top 25, the source for this list was KDX's data table of most mentioned sets by the community. I love 21136 The Office and will likely be investing in it. I guess it's a sleeper since not many are mentioning it! KDX would be able to tell you exactly how many mentions it has this year.

@kdxbricksanalytics Месяц назад

4 mentions with an Enthusiasm Score of 2.0 year to date. But now that it's on the retirement list...I expect the mentions to go up. I'm a pretty big fan of the set!
