Lego Investment Sets that retired at the end of 2023 - How are they performing?

I go back through my lists and take a look at how the sets are performing now they have retired, as well as how many of each set I have in my inventory and how much I paid for everything.

I loved every second of this video except for the ads lol tons of value and insight Iain thank you. Thqnks to your videos we were able to colle t most of those sets for us to build and enjoy. Unfortunately we paid full price for the Justifier and its only got one minifigure we really like. Thank you for helping us make sure we didn't miss out on any sets. The world map felt over priced and with so many sets retiring it was important to spend the money wisely. Enjoyable video time flew by!

Great video Iain. Some really nice sets there, you will do well with them.

Thanks Ian. Fantastic video mate. Been very enjoyable to watch plus extremely interesting. From Matt in Dorset

Nice video Iain! You can’t really go wrong with the majority of those buy in prices! :) I bought 10 of those haunted mini mansions at the sale price🥲 I think being the first to retire in a new series they’ll do well eventually…. Haha Im tempted to get a world map, I have this annoying feeling it’s going to be selling for silly money in a few years and like you I thought it was over priced to begin with lol

Great video. I knew BD1 would smash it. Looks so cool with the light kit.

Thanks for the information.

It's always a great start to the day when Iain posts. 🙏🏼

Great vid as always!!

Excellent job! 3 more sets doing well maybe worth mentioning: - Colosseum - Bird of Paradise - Paris postcard

Funny as I went over the performance of many sets as well a few days ago. Vast majority of sets are not performing as well as the lot that retired at the end of 2022, many of those had a way more significant initial retirement pump. This confirms what I have been thinking for a while which is that Lego investing is changing. Ofcourse people don't want to hear this and ignore the signs. Sure it might be different if you go sell on festivals, but even HillianBricks confirmed in a vid that selling at festivals is not as successful as before. And I think your last festival didn't go as well either Iain, I remember watching your vid. Markets go in cycles, Lego reselling entered a down cycle, the good news is there will be an up cycle again at some point. Just be careful out there, don't get rekt.

Great video Iain found this really interesting. I bought into the New Guardians Ship too as it had a few things going for it to make it a good set to invest in so when it came up at 30% off, plus 9% off through work, GWP and cashback jumped on it, but as its still going today it suggests I may of made a poor decision 😂. Keep up the great content 😊

good vid mate!

Be good to have a update!

Great video as always Iain, I hope you do well with all your sets! Why do you think theres such a big difference between what people pay for sets on Amazon and ebay - I've seen some huge differences when I've been shopping for things. Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions so often by the way!

World Map is really surprising 😮 I've got mine for later to build, but when price will hit double cost I might rethinking 😅
-
Luckily I managed to snag two Viking ships from Very at a price of £45.98 each, I don't think I could add more. It seems like there was a massive rush of buyers because the very next day, the price shot up to around £70
-
I think the world map is quite a shocker. It is by far my least favourite set to build. I got it for Christmas and I still haven't finished it. Luckily, they sent 2 instead of one so I'm going to sell it for a quick flip at London Brick Festival this weekend!

You did well with the helmets, Iain
-
I took my losses (or breakeven) on the Guardians ship. It felt like a winner but Marvel sets are just not that great and money is better spent elsewhere. Thanks for the content and best of luck in 2024..

This is one of very few vids I've found on YT that is actually reliable when it comes to investing in LEGO. Most of the vids or short clips you see here or on IG is about people bragging how set X or Y increased in value 500% over 2-3 years and it seems like the numbers are just trumped up for views or fake hype (and which you can honestly fact check in 1 min). Good job, I'll definitely come back for more. Out of curiosity, do you track your sales margin and can you share what that might have been throughout 2023? Thanks!
