Lego Building, Collecting & Investing

Hello this page, is all about my love of Lego, both building, collecting and starting to slowly dabble in Lego Investing.

Investing in LEGO sets can be both fun and profitable, blending nostalgia with financial gain. Here’s a brief intro:

  1. Research: Like any investment, start by researching the market trends and which sets tend to appreciate in value over time. Look into factors like rarity, popularity, and whether the set is tied to a popular franchise. Lego have a variety of Themes, including but not limited to, Brickheadz, Creator Expert, Disney, Harry Potter, Ideas, Icons, Marvel, Minifigures, Monkie Kid(Lego exclusive), Speed Champions, Star Wars & Lego Technic
  2. Buy and Hold: LEGO sets typically appreciate in value over time, especially if they are retired or limited edition. Buy sets you believe will increase in value and hold onto them for the long term. Use a variety of ways to maximise your purchase price, I.e Cashback, Gift with purchase(GOP), Lego Insider Points
  3. Condition Matters: The condition of the LEGO set significantly impacts its value. Sealed sets generally command higher prices than opened or used ones, and pristine condition is preferred by collectors.
  4. Diversify: Spread your investments across various themes and sets to mitigate risk. Don’t put all your bricks in one basket!
  5. Stay Informed: Keep up with LEGO news, announcements, and community discussions to stay ahead of trends and anticipate which sets might become sought-after in the future. Various sites publish lists of sites that are Due to retire – the major player is https://www.brickfanatics.com/, also YouTube have some great youtubers who discuss Lego
  6. Sell Strategically: Know when to sell to maximize profits. Sometimes it’s best to hold onto a set for several years, while other times selling shortly after retirement can yield a quick return.
  7. Consider Storage: Proper storage can maintain the condition of your LEGO sets, preserving their value over time. Keep them away from sunlight and in a dry, stable environment.

Remember, LEGO investing requires patience and a love for the brick! It’s not just about making money but also enjoying the collecting and building aspect of this Hobby & Side Hustle
