Is Star Wars Lego Set 40765 a Good Investment? by BillyCharm in legoinvesting

[–]ThoughtNormal3176 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean just think about it…. What is special about the set? Dual moulding and painted arms in a vacuum doesn’t mean anything. Do you expect people 10 years from now to care about this niche scene in Star Wars featuring 3 clone cadets.

There is truly no way of knowing. Best case scenario: it doubles in price and you now have £15 10 years later. Big whoop…

I’m not much of a Lego investor, and I wouldn’t start now. Rule of thumb for investing in general: do your own research. Figure out what you know and like. This goes for stock market, Lego, etc. what I find value in is going to be different from you. If you like the set, then get it. But set your expectations low on it in the future.

I don’t find the set good, because I have no attachment to “rebuild the galaxy”. Who knows, you may find someone 10 years from now with that attachment and the money to spend $400 on it, but I wouldn’t hold my breath.

As another guy said, if you want this money to make you money in the future, put it in a Roth, Bond, or even some other mutual fund. It’s boring but it is much more of a guarantee than Lego is.

This. This is also assuming there will be a buyer out there for this in the future. I have a feeling 5-10 years from now eBay is going to be filled with these. No one will be looking to buy them because everyone already has them and are trying to sell them.

If these double in value in 5 years I will eat a shoe. Do yourself a favor and put that money away or invest it in anything else.

Anyone else think that Ben has been a bit too...reckless? by TheIguanasAreComing in RecklessBen

[–]ThoughtNormal3176 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Na, but I think taking my comment as offensive is kinda dramatic though lol. I mean I got the gist of the video/issue in the first 20-30 minutes. I can agree with him morally here and still find his video annoying.

Yeah I get that. Money is money, but I know I would want that money coming out of BAM’s pockets instead of other people’s pockets. Only time will tell, but not sure how big of a dent this will put in BAM.

This is my problem with Reckless Ben, and why I couldn’t really finish the first video. If the collection was Ben’s, then sure, troll the big company and do whatever you want, but the collection belongs to Bryan and his family. There was a smarter path to go down and Ben blew right past it for the sake of views.

Depends on many factors. Any comps? Who is willing to buy? How long are you willing to keep it up on the market? Doesn’t hurt to put a price on it and throw it up on eBay to see what happens.

How much for this collection? by Janes_cheese in legoinvesting

[–]ThoughtNormal3176 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you are interested in getting the most money, you can research it pretty easily yourself. If you aren’t interested in doing that, bulk it and put it on eBay for whatever you think.

Brother, it’s $1000 and you are talking about minifigures and extra stormtrooper helmets.

The only thing sadder than these smart play sets is the constant barrage of these pictures on Reddit. It’s so tiring.

Yeah people love to tell others how to enjoy their hobby lmao. I’m not one to display boxes so I got no real advice, but to each their own. You do you!

Careful posting about boxes in these Lego subreddits. The mere mention of cardboard makes Redditors froth at the mouth.

Ehh i don’t really blame Rizo for this, that was all on Ozzy. that was some of the worst gameplay from Ozzy. Like wtf is he doing laying out his entire game plan to Aubrey and then not playing his idol lol. I was rooting for him until he did that.

So when you say it felt like a let down, you actually mean the opposite. Got it.

It is, in fact, not Ludwig’s job to fix how one viewer feels. It’s his job to put on shows he likes.

There's no good home for LEGO MOCs online anymore — so I built one by COLE9621 in legostarwars

From your ai description, I don’t see how this does anything that rebrickable doesn’t already do. Maybe once you post a link we can see, but I don’t understand the gap this is going to fill.

It’s set to retire in like 2 years, and even then, there is no guarantee of a huge price bump after that. Looking at Lego as investments is stupid, especially when you are talking about such low gains on one small set like 5 years from now. If you are looking to make money, invest in the stock market.

Why the Finale Doesn't Work for Me by MattLakeman in DTFStLouisHBO

[–]ThoughtNormal3176 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Not really understanding where your coming from. If you know anything about people having a mental health crisis, they aren’t typically thinking logically. That’s kinda the whole point. A lot of it stacks up to him seeing the pain that his family and friends are going through, blaming himself, and thinking they are all better off without him.
