Thanks for being so useful.

Thinking more on small, cheaper scale

 

9466 crazy scientist

9470 shelob lotr

 

pretty much any marvel or batman set 

Smaller sets = smaller profit = more work.  HH, SSD & TB for me. ;-)

Turning bunches of Captain America sets into SSDs wasn't much work. 

Due to The Lone Ranger tanking at the box office is it safe to say that the Constitution Train Chase or the Stagecoach Escape may not be around for two years?  I think now is the time to buy if there is a good sale.  I believe these two sets will be investment winners.  I also like The Silver Mine Shootout.  I think it is a unique set and it may go EOL before the Constitution Train Chase and Stagecoach Escape, if these two stick around longer than I expect them to.

Colby City Showdown is currently heavily discounted on Amazon UK so its days may be numbered too.  Since the film bombed, I'm not investing in the theme currently at any price as I believe film success = set success. (sorry!).  It'll be the train if anything for me.

Captain America sets, to ride across Tower Bridge.

I hope so, I'm loaded with both!

I'm actually selling all of my Captain America sets this Christmas.  I have 25 or so and plan to get rid of them all.

Is it just me that think captain america sets are not going to do well? I mean, I certainly hope they do well for you guys but I dont see why people like it so much...

There's only one set that has Captain America, that's why it's almost a certainty that it'll do well.

It's just you.  This set (6865) is already profitable for anyone who bought it at retail or less.

Yes, they're already going for around $25 each.  If you got them for $6 - $9, you can clear $10 - $12 on each pretty easy.

They already have been giving a fantastic return. Whether it will continue or slow down remains to be seen.

Yes, they will surely release a new set when the new movie comes out.

Well you would unfortunately already be wrong because it has almost doubled in value already.

 

I have offloaded a good bit of mine for $25 each.

With preliminary pictures of the Batman wave and Spidey already making the rounds, I assume the two rumoured Avengers sets won't be too far away

Just curious, do you have a reputable source for FB's EOL timeline ?  People have been saying "this year will be the last year for FB" since at least October 2011

Not to go off topic too much, but I take it that the general consensus is to sell Captain America now? I bought mine expensive ($17) because I couldn`t find any for cheaper, and didn`t want to miss out entirely. If I sold, maybe I`d clear $5, which wouldn`t be terrible at ~30% profit. What do others think?

Not necessarily. I think it will go higher. My worries were this:

 

1. Everyone offloading them at Christmas

 

2. New Captain America Sets pushing down the worth of the figure.

 

If you are in them that much, I would say let it ride for a while. I sold most of mine because I got half at 10$ and the other half at $6

Ok thanks for the suggestion! Would be nice if Lego is going to make another, if they made a variation rather then a copy. That would surely preserve most of the value. I`ll hang on to them for now

I agree. I bought 7 stage coach for 6.99.  Put one together and it is pretty cool.
