    The Monkie Kid Heavenly Realms didn't really go on a 30% sale. It was already sold out when Lego put all their retiring sets on sale. It just shows up as 30% off because that's the sale price they put on all Monkie Kid sets at the end of the year. I only got 1 even though it was high on my list and I got it early, similar to DG. I used that set to get up to $250 for the first Houses of the World set. I wasn't happy enough with the GWP selling prices for that series given the high threshold, so I ended up stopping after the first 2 houses. I was waiting for that end of year sale to pick up more, but as I said, it was already sold out. Picked up 9 of the Birds of Paradise, 5 at $60 from Target Black Friday and 4 at $70 from Lego Black Friday. Wish I had maxed out with 1 more from Lego but I had already spent so much on Fighter Tanks and other sets during Black Friday, that I was really at my max. The popularity of the other botanicals is why I picked up this set, even though this one wasn't popular. I figured if Amazon is selling 50k of the other botanicals every month, there has to be enough people that will want this one, even if most people don't. And here are 2 sets I'm watching in 2024 21327 - Typewriter - Cool set plus great sand green parts 71469 - Dreamzzz Nightmare Shark Ship. I thought I would mention this one since you guys talked about Dreamzzz and Hidden Side ships. This is honestly the only Dreamzzz set I think is worth watching.

    40623 SOLD OUT now! R2 is boxy, but this how it should be for a Brickheadz!
  • @tonyricca8116
    Love you and Kevin analysis watch both your channels and keep up the great work
  • @BuffJensen
    These investment podcast episodes are where it's at! Really appreciate how you guys own up to your biggest Ls and not just the Ws only.
  • @thehobbydad6930
    Great to see a lot of the sets that I targeted doing great already. Thanks for the info and it was fun to listen to you both talk about Lego investing today.
  • @sallywyatt2918
    Watch, subscribe and enjoy both your channels but these podcasts are my favs of all Lego videos. You guys have a great natural rapport that is really enjoyable.
  • @stefansdoom
    Oh don't remind me guys of Heavenly Realms. I have been checking it since Q2 2023. When time came to finally buy (good GwP combo) in September, it said "currently out of stock". So I contacted customer service and they just told me to wait. So I've waited and then it change description to Sold out. They just retired production in September here in our mid-Europe region!
  • @robo2007
    Love this episode, I managed to get 35 of the Endor brick heads and it's finally done. I think. Keep up the great Nerd work.
  • @Badgers_9
    Great pod. Mainly a collector but love listening to this and makes me buy the odd extra set. 😀
  • @ilvean3122
    I pickep up some Chip and Dale Brickheadz and was pleasantly shocked at how well theyre doing.
  • @brickblums
    I got a few Birds of Paradise sets - first Botanicals to retire - had to go for the first of a popular series. I am not a big investor but I grabbed 3 of those & so happy I did! I made A LOT of mistakes last year with the HP sets 🤦‍♀️
  • Birds of Paradise was my last-minute purchase from the Black Friday season. Missed out on maximum savings at Target, but still got a pretty good price from Lego at $77 including tax. Recently sold it for $140 locally. Should have gotten more haha
  • You all missed out heavily on Lloyd's Golden Ultra Dragon. Never went on sale (that's a plus for investing), it's an ornate dragon, Oni Lloyd is one of the best versions of the character out there in minifigure form, you get the tall version of the Overlord, and also important is that you get all four of the core ninja in their gold-accented suits in one set. While the set did not go on sale, with double VIP, GWP's, and $30 cashback through Honey, this one was a no-brainer.
  • @mpc007
    I got a few Llama's for sale on Ebay but they don't sell yet; asking around 30 a piece.
  • @lifesabrick5104
    "Hunch" for those late climbers is seeing 68 left on Ebay and 20 of those are just the minifigs and pieces and 10 more are just the set used. I think I'll wait just a bit on that one. As for Minecraft, hold on to your Llama Farms and Brickheadz, everything else is a struggle.
  • @mbalu21
    Great video as always! Not sure if you guys saw but there was a purple trooper in the Bad batch trailer 👀… keep those fighter tanks!
  • @SimplyEricc
    Support comment supports! You're both amazing youtubers and do great work.
  • @Clockles87
    I had the Buy Box on the Birds of Paradise for 1.5 days and was selling them for $175-185. Decided to keep a half dozen back for Q4!
  • @thedarrenramsey
    Why is no one talking about the Batman art set? Already going for $200 on the bay. Target had them on clearance for $60
  • I bought a couple of the Battle of Endor heroes Brickheadz because they are badass. Hopefully they will go up in value in a couple of years :)
