    Lego is something that I've recently started speculating with, I'm currently comparing it's performance to gold - physical coins and bars, ETFs, and digital gold, as well as an investment fund.  It's early days still with my research, I read somewhere a while ago that Lego has constantly out preformed gold by double digits for the last 20 years.  So I'm in the process of trying to get my hands on real world figures, that include things like taxes which are always missing from articles, that tend to cherry pick figures and ignore risk.

    I know some people got sort of lucky with some kits. And made a lot back  But now a lot of people are putting kits away for a later date, I don't know if the return is going to be as good.    Would be good to see how many are buying just to make some money also how many are they hiding away of the same kit.  I have seen the market work by one so-called rare kit shows up and sell for a serious amount  but then loads show up trying to cash in, but they go for a lot less  as the market gets flooded.

    LEGO THIEF ?

    While building kits to sell, i found some bits were missing, so went on Ebay to see what i could get for pennies.  Then I remembered i had a big storage box  full of mixed lego. Finally, found it under a bed not been touched in years (a lot of dust) just to find it was half empty.  My kids are only into building a new kit then never touching it again,  so i don't have a clue what has happened.  Think I have a ghost who is into lego

    True that!
    They’re doing another collector series X-Wing this year (after I spent quite a bit getting hold of the old version 😂). 
     

    I sort of did that the other way round  I had a tamiya car no longer sold  so sold it for more  but a couple of months later they brought it back out.

    Not sure if this will help but obviously once the set retires it will jump up, I think you’re looking at end of this year for the Ducati and end of 2024 for the BMW. 
     

    Personally (thinking in percentage terms then absolute numbers) the even if the Ducati jumps up by 50pc, you’re only looking at a £30 return over the RRP. Is that worthwhile versus the challenge of keeping space for storage?
     

    For the BMW it might make more sense, but it’s a big box…plus the extra wait for it to retire…

    Check out www.brickeconomy.com too - they have an estimated trajectory of the price increases for all sets, that might help make your mind up! 

    Ok thanks will take a look at that site.  Im not in need of the money,  just want to clear stuff out, I'm not going to use.  I have no clue with lego  but i remember people keeping hold of  the big millennium falcon  but then it got re released if i remember correct.

    Question  I have 2 new boxed kits  (technic bmw m 1000 rr 42130)  &  (ducati 42107)

    What are the chances of them being worth a lot more in the future.  As I have limited space,  so just wondering if they are worth keeping.
