This article could have been good if it was serious, but it's presupposing you can figure out which sets will be discontinued and therefore appreciate more than an average lego set. Apply that logic to any other investment.
Anyway I would have liked to see them space and cost for storage of the sets, and time spent to acquire enough for investment purposes, and see what someone could really do if they were going to be an 'investor in legos'

- genocidicbunny 5y agoBesides the common basic sets like the box-of-pieces sets, every Lego set will be discontinued. I would also argue that most AFOLs will be able to reasonably judge which sets will be good investments and which ones will not be. It also used to be reasonably easy to tell if a set was going to be very popular based on how it did in the 'VIP presale' (where you can only buy the set if you're signed up for Lego's loyalty program) But you're right about the storage. The sets that appreciate well tend to be the larger ones which necessarily means larger boxes and more storage requirements. And we're still only talking at most several hundred USD per box for the majority of sets, so 'density' of investment is pretty low.
