Seems to be all about the mini figures these days. Check on eBay and you'll find loads of sets brand new just missing the figures. They hold their value and take up less room in storage.

You didn't read what I wrote. Believe that if u want but I'm still making money on sets but then I buy them cos I like them. If they go up great, if not I've got a set I like to keep. Win-win. :sunglasses:

There's no way that you'll get RRP for a Sea Cow let alone 3x. The days of LEGO investing are long gone and there are so many people losing money these days.

Sources? Also why the negative connotations of sets remaining? Why do you care so much if they don't sell? Did u buy a lot of sets for investment rather than love that never returned? Personally I like a lot of these sets especially the penguin car ( currently 23.99) and I'd buy them for that reason. You can make an educated guess on lines that won't sell well, angry birds movie never was going too and was cert never going to be an investment line. Star Wars ip's from TFA / Rogue one are still new and just because they aren't 'classic' sets will not be as valuable for the most part (personality I think certain rogue one sets will eventually gain but not to the same extent). Batman vs superman sets were never going to due great, kids didn't watch the film adults didn't like it. Ultimately the things that really return are the ideas sets but most of all the Star Wars UCS sets, for good reason. They are most expensive tbw so have a lower chance of being 'big' sellers. Ultimately some people will just be interested in sets for what they are. I like the batman movie sets, I liked the film too but that's cos I'm the demographic it was aimed at. An adult comic nerd that's never grown up. I was disappointed by the ending but it was always going to be more niche than the Lego movie. Which some sets give a good return on but you have to remember it's now 4 yrs old.

If your looking into sets as investment pieces you have to play the waiting game. And gamble. I never bought the double decker couch from lego movie because I had one in the sea cow set, but that can sell for 3 times it's retail. I wish it got it, but because I really liked it even though there was one in the sea cow. C'est la vie. :sunglasses:

thanks for the answer very little investment potential for quite a few years then as every hole in the hedge seems to be stocking these in quantity,must say though the Riddler and the Penguin sets are looking like the business.

Thanks for the informative reply.

Can not afford this right now,can any lego expert tell me if this will still be about at the end of the year.

It's £2 more at Toys R Us but comes with a free backpack

Managed to get this for about £67 during ToysRUs' 20% off Lego weekend. Remember that ToysRUs do price match.

Tempting
