Like the title says if you could only have one set for your personal collection what set would that be?

To make it fun let's also put in what one set would you hold for investment?

My choice for personal would be the Emerald Night steam Locomotive. Its my favorite set fun build, great detail, ILOVESTEAMTRAINS, awesome play, Super display piece.

My Investment choice is a hard one but I have a hunch about the Haunted House so that's my one choice.

 

I'll start off with:

- Keep personally sealed mint: UCS Slave I

- Flip & Profit: Tumbler

- Long Term Gain: Maersk Triple E

 

 

Keep personally sealed mint: Parisian Restaurant

- Flip & Profit: Santas Workshop

- Long Term Gain: Parisian Restaurant

-Personal: Too many...can't pick ONE   Maybe HH  

-Flip: Tumbler

-Long Term: SSD or TB

Keep personally sealed mint: Tumbler

- Flip & Profit: Santas Workshop

- Long Term Gain: Horizon express

Oops I thought you meant what 2014 set???? If I can buy hold a set produced in any year

 

Keep personally sealed mint: 10210 Imperial Flagship

- Flip & Profit: Chima 70010 doing well with many entry points at 50% off.

- Long Term Gain: Haunted House

Thanks Everyone this is going great!

 

Keep the ideas coming!

- Keep personally sealed mint: UCS Slave I

- Flip & Profit: doesn't matter... popular theme + biggest available discount

- Long Term Gain: HH

Based on current price, SSD is the correct answer for all 3 questions*. Providing I bought it at MSRP in the beginning of 2014

*I knew 2 & 3 are mutually exclusive. If I only had 1 SSD, it was my decision as to which path to take. ;)

Based on what I THINK to be retiring...

 

I think I might have to say Minecraft original. Its still a top seller. I think Lego will end it. It seems dumb with how well it sells (and how high the profit margin is), but I think with all the stuff they have added and this ones life, it may be there.

 

I have a pyramid of them.

Keep Personally: Slave 1

Flip: Tumbler

Long Term: Probably R2D2 as i have none.

I love all the answers!

I would issue likes to everyone contributing but I would run out of likes.

Just know I like your input please!

One currently available set only?

 

Personally keep: Tower Bridge

Flip: Tumbler (but I try not to play the flipping game)

Long Term: Death Star

Personally to build: UCS Slave I (or Sandcrawler)
Flip: Tumbler
Keep Long Term: The Big Bad Boy - 10221!

Maersk 3E as it appears to be a true exclusive, looks impressive when displayed and often sells out.

- Keep personally sealed mint: Red5

- Flip & Profit: RI

- Long Term Gain: HH

Hmm - I may change my answer to the Batcave...

Tumbler under 'long term' is missing the point. Of course it is big winner long term, but why 2014? unless you have too much cash or space.
