New investor/collector here

I use to play with legos as a kid and recently got back into it as a hobby building and displaying them. What I want to do is be a casual investor as I don't have a lot of money, so I was just going to buy some of the sets that are still being made and building/displaying them until they are worth some money later on down the road. Now I know opening them will hurt the value some, but if I can get them for a reasonable price ( less than retail) and keep the piece and box in good condition then will it still fetch a good price? I started out buying the 7965 Millennium Falcon, found at walmart for 100 bucks ($40 cheaper than everywhere else). I am also thinking about getting the 10225 R2D2, $40 cheaper that retail on amazon, I think that one might be one of those harder to find ones later on (opinions?)
