Hi Everyone, First time poster and a very new investor here. For a while now, I've been considering some sort of side business, or investment and not long ago, I made the decision to invest into Lego. I made this decision for a few reasons, but the main one was that collecting is my passion and I wanted this side business to have something to do with my lifestyle so that I could never get bored of it, and would always be excited invest my time and money into it. I'm a huge fan of collecting and I love all things geeky and Sci-Fi, so Lego was the perfect idea for me. Anyway, I made this thread for two reasons, firstly to introduce myself, which I've now done, and secondly, to seek opinions and feedback on my investments so far. Since making this decision to invest into Lego (which was only about 3 weeks ago from today), I've already invested just over AU$3.5k into it. I cleared up to AU$10k of capital with the wife for Lego investment, which I intend to spread over the rest of the year. The list below is all my purchases to date, now before you look, please know that I live in Australia and Lego here is horridly more expensive here compared to the US. The prices I paid below were the cheapest I were able to source at this time. Here's my list of investments so far, all purchases listed in AUD. LOTR Battle at the Black Gate 79007 $58.00 Star Wars Death Star 10188 $520.00 Star Wars Death Star 10188 $540.18 Star Wars Death Star 10188 $540.18 Star Wars R2D2 UCS 10225 $240.38 Star Wars R2D2 UCS 10225 $240.00 Star Wars R2D2 UCS 10225 $240.38 Star Wars Super Star Destroyer 10221 $532.04 Star Wars Super Star Destroyer 10221 $532.04 Super Heroes Batman The Riddler Chase 76012 $39.99 Super Heroes Batman The Riddler Chase 76012 $39.99 Super Heroes Batman The Riddler Chase 76012 $39.99 Super Heroes Captain America vs Hydra 76017 $31.99 Super Heroes Captain America vs Hydra 76017 $31.99 Super Heroes Hulk Smash Lab 76018 $55.99 Super Heroes The Bat vs Bane Tumbler Chase 76001 $55.99 Super Heroes The Bat vs Bane Tumbler Chase 76001 $55.99 Super Heroes The Bat vs Bane Tumbler Chase 76001 $49.00 Super Heroes The Bat vs Bane Tumbler Chase 76001 $49.00 Monster Fighters Vampyre Castle 9468 $109.00 Monster Fighters Vampyre Castle 9468 $109.00 Your feedback is most welcomed, I suppose what I'm after is what you guys think of my investment decisions, namely, the sets I bought and the prices I paid for them. Do you think these sets would net me a good return? Would you have made different choices, and if so, then why? Opinions/criticisms most welcomed :) Thank you for reading!
