Buying already retired sets on the rise

So I have been a member for a short while (just passed my 100th post not long ago - WOOT WOOT!) This is an amazing site, the information contained in this site is unbelievable and the community is top notch. Thanks to Ed and Jeff for a great place to learn and for helping me out of the dark ages. Now that that is out of the way I wanted to see if there was anyone out there that consistently buys sets after retirement for over retail that they believe are going to continue to rise at a healthy pace. I have seen many posts indicating that most sets gain the greatest percentage over that first year of retirement. Anyone tracking sets that make that move later on? My thinking is that with the Lego movie that many AFOLs will be born. The movie was the first mainstream (if i can call it that) massively successful movie for Lego. Any parent with kids has likely seen this movie or will by Christmas. My thinking is these new found AFOLs will be looking back at those older sets and demand could increase substantially for certain sets. Interested in the thoughts of the community. It is a bit of a different approach than the mainstream. But something I wanted to see more thoughts on.
