Why LEGO INVESTING Sucks 

I do NOT think LEGO Investing actually Sucks. These are just 7 downsides about LEGO investing. I made the tittle a bit extreme to get people to watch... and it worked if your reading this right now.

Well I don’t feel bad for investors. You get what you deserve. Should be a hobby to be enjoyed not burned or bankrupt. Nothing is guaranteed including tomorrow. Greed has always been the downfall of man. If you die tomorrow what is it worth to you then?

You can't lose money on lego - if you know what you're doing - you'll always sell it at least for the price you bought it for. You need to choose sets that cannot be replicated - that are unique and will be unique in 10 years (for example, Blacksmith Medieval, 21333, 31120) - if you buy it 3-6 months before it goes out of sale - you can't lose money on this one. The ideal for me is not to buy sets just for the exclusive minifigures - but for the exclusivity of the set as such. If you have a combination of an exclusive set + exclusive minifigures, it's a clear winner - for example, the Daily Bugle.

I Collect, I Dont invest

I personally buy and sell/invest in lego minifigures. Its less of a risk to invest in most and even though the reward can be less, the money you invest with also is less as a result. plus i'd rather have a bunch of figs rather than actual sets, and the lower price and higher demand of figs means that you'll prob be able to sell them faster than you would an entire set. i'd personally rather take a minifig worth 200$ that I could sell in a day than a 1000$ set that I could sell in a few months.

I like collecting sealed Lego sets because it’s cool to have older sets. Kinda like having a piece of Lego history

Great video! Keep it up!

All pretty accurate reasons, of course there is pros but well done mate on the drawbacks.

Bo-Katan from Clone Wars and Bo Katan Live Action are not the same. The same reason the Fifth Brother and Grand Inquisitor still hold some great value. Does it affect it, yes. Is it significant, that's debatable. The only reason it is a problem is people hold their "investments" way too long. If your intent is to sell it later, then know when to sell.

Your videos are hilarious. The B-Roll cuts crack me up. Thnx

Great content as always! Love your sarcasm ❤️

Ebay costs in the US? Here in Germany it is free as long as you are a private seller and didn’t buy to sell what is defined by law as selling it at least one year after you bought it. So pretty easy.

5:21 not completely true because most people who just want to build and display the set don’t care if they are sealed, so therefore like idk 90% of people buying sealed sets I feel are other collectors, so this doesn’t really help the market, it’s just kinda some other mostly insulated market.

If you have enough money to buy dozens of the same $650 set, and you lose money ...I'd find it hard to feel sorry for you.

I don't even know what this guy talking about i just here blah blah blah blah blah blah blah ( don't take this personally )

Great video and great points! I just "Invest" I mean collect because I build my sets really slowly and if I see a really good deal on a set they might be a good investment I get it and save it for later. And it isn't my main thing in fact I have a ton of things going on so I do passive invest in lego like you would with Gold/land. But Yeah I feel for all the brick linkers who do this full time...

Lmao, RIP cloud city Boba Fett collectors , Lego just released him in a $15 mech build.

Well I mean, people investing in lego sets should keep them for at least 5-7 years, preferably 10+ years to see some huge gains in price. Just look at the early 2000 lego star wars sets, they dont look good but they are so expensive.

God I hate being a part of this Fandom. It's way too damn expensive

7-Even sets that are re-released got new minifigures different from the old ones and most of the times its in the minifigures where the big bucks are. Sure it can drop a little in price but rarely to the point where its worth less than what you paid for it not to mention that if you are a smart investor you NEVER buy the sets at the full sale price. 6-Space is irrelevant. If you dont have the space just invest in whatever else you dont need such space. 5-If you are a fan of the hobby itself, doing research is fun. 4-You dont buy the sets at full price. You dont need to sell at ebay. Plenty of spots to sell your stuff without giving such fees (can take more time? Sure.... but if you dont have time or you dont want to wait your in the wrong spot anyway). Shipping will mostly be supported by the buyer. Packaging you can just reuse some old boxes. 3-Ofc its not passive income. Again... if you do it as a hobby its time well spent. 2-If it wasnt for lego investors, people in the future wouldnt even be able to get into the hobby as full collectors since no one would hang on old sets. Now, due to investors, people can just join the hobby and say "hey... i want to have all star wars lego minifigures!" Sure... thats possible DUE TO.... Lego investors! As if other people have anything to do with our own business... If they want a set that is selling for less they can just go to wherever its selling for that price and buy it as any lego investor can. 1-It's not saturated... IMO. The world has almost 8 billion people. if you go into bricklink at most times you have 200-300 of each set. DO you think that is alot?! Thats the same thing with every hobby. Pokemon is "saturated", MTG is "saturated" What isnt?!?!?! Theres still plenty of room for everyone to enjoy and if more people join, hell.... there will also be alot more people buying! Im an investor and i still buy old sets and other new sets from other investors... There could be other points that you could have explored better my friend. NOTE: Never buy 40-50 sets of the same thing! Just buy 5 or 6 of each and you can fund your own lego collection. Ofc you wont buy a 1million house but at least its cool to be at your place and watch all those lego boxes together. If you enjoy the hobby....

A great reality check on lego. Truely i buy cause i want it. That the value can go up is just my excuse to have a big pile of unopened boxes in my home office. I'll never have the time to build 90% of them.

It's less investors buying up all the sets, it's more, stealing the last 3 of a set on clearence at walmart before a poor family, who can't afford Lego without the clearence for their kids birthday, can find a set their kid loves. So that is what turns me off about investing. You can buy all the full priced sets you want after they come out, it's the hunting for clearence and buying the last 3 left in a special Walmart clearence, that makes me hate investors.

So I should stop investing in lego ?

when a recession is brewing, prices go up and people's salaries stagnate, they tend to redirect their money more towards immediately useful stuff, such as food, housing and energy.

Ive done very well in lego sets Picked up a few half off harry potter sets today and some jw sets.

i have a rex phase 2 when should i sepl

whats wrong with cara dune

Lego is supposed to built and played with if you want to invest like he said invest in stocks not into toys me and other people loved

6:10 just wait longer before selling. If you hold the sets for at least 5-10 years less will be in circulation over time

Lego investing is so cringe

It's good to see reissue sets who wants to pay $8000.00 for the original Millennium Falcon when the new one is bigger and better for $1100.00 and the Lego group own bricklink now and have all that data I can see more of this happening to stop the scalping scum.

Great point, mate! I see there is one more thing which is Lego heavily doing against “Lego investors”, they started to keep more than ever big sets available at retail. So idea is to make people think: Why to pay 500-600 usd for Old Fishing Store or Apocalypseburg, if you can get for this money, let say Mos-Eisley Cantina plus Medeival Blacksmith, plus you can get double vip points plus unique promo GWP… and free shipping… So Lego is aiming to have so many available in retail adults sets that most of average Lego people will see no reason to pay triple price for retired sets…

I can only hope some people see this video and use it as an excuse to NOT get into lego investing to save some more meat on the bone for the rest of us in the future LOL. I was able to find another two Medieval Blacksmith's on discount at a barnes and noble nearby just today.

Number what? 🤨 6?

I made 2000$ buying bulk loose lego rebuiding set if the books included ;) 1kg of legos here costs 10-12€. I ussaly buy 8-10kg cause they contain bigger sets. Or if i cant rebuild i sort out by number and put on my bricklink ez money i literally got titanic and harry potter castle for 200€ 😂 cause i use the profits to buy things that mostly will have public even after 30years titanic was my sweettooth :)

Some nice crap reason. THe x-wing, if you bought it in 2013 you still have a profit. It takes up space? All investments except crypto will take up space. Damaged? Yes, but also counts for paintings, whiskey and all other stuff you invest in. Ans so on ....

1:14 invest in your queen and retire in a few years 🥳

Dang crazy.

Yet bro still makes vids about how set go up in value

when people complain about people who resell lego it doesn’t make any sense to me, because then how are you going to get that 12 year old set unopened and be able to open it up like it just came out. i have so much respect for resellers in this community because they steady get disrespected and are really hard workers and for the most part genuinely cool people

Wow. Calling Cara a piece garbage.

Why does investing in lego suck? Because its a toy. Dont invest in it

❤ 😂 ngihs

Please stop talking like this

terrible voice-over
