putting aside that this deal went sour, which is very frustrating, i am curious how much they actually spent to buy all that lego, and how much they gained, if anything, over just directly saving the money.
- bena 5mo agoCloud City 10123 is 698 pieces. That would've retailed for around $70-$90 new. It is worth roughly $10,000 sealed in box. I have some of the original Lego Star Wars sets. All opened and built and etc. Including this one which I purchased for like $5 or $10 https://www.ebay.com/itm/198386156944 https://www.ebay.com/itm/198386156944 I also have the only Deadpool figure Lego ever put in a set that goes for $75 or $100 by itself. It was in a $20 set. So the amount they spent could be somewhere in the thousands, but probably below $100,000.
- cogogo 5mo agoWow. I do not want to knock collectors but I will never understand them. That particular set worth 10k looks kind of crappy to me. I understand the star wars crossover appeal but still. And I have three kids and have bought countless sets. Every bday and xmas times 3.
- bena 5mo agoThis set is expensive mostly due to rarity.
- praseodym 5mo agoThe screenshot of the Facebook post says they purchased the sets for approximately $20,000.
- qingcharles 5mo agoLego can be way better than stocks as an investment. I remember buying one Millennium Falcon set for $250 on sale and then a couple of years later offloading it on eBay for $10K.
- dnnddidiej 5mo agoBut it is then a greater fool "investment" unlike stocks.
