Why not buy new lego sets every time they come out and hold onto them long term? Only issue is storing them.

>>Researchers examined primary sales data, online auction transactions, and the prices of more than 2,000 unopened LEGO sets from 1987 to 2015. They found that the market prices of retired LEGO sets, when sold on secondary marketplaces, grew by at least 11% annually. This is higher than the average returns for gold, large stocks, bonds, and other types of investments.

based. pretty soon they will be making articles about how good of an investment runescape party hats are compared to gold or the us dollar. Value can be anything as long as its agreeded upon by a wide consensus of people

This is kinda fake and meme. I looked into this a couple of years ago. The market is quite small, there are simply not that many buyers. And those that exist purchase only virgin and perfect conditions sets... so... quite difficult to get in

Yes, but LEGO sets are neither fungible, nor very value dense. Can't really divide them, either. They might be lucrative investments but they're not money.

Investing in me will make me worth more than gold. Consider me as your next investment.
